During the two weeks Jill was in a coma, a steady stream of visitors came to see her and Ryan and lend their support. One of Jill’s cousins also came with a Bible in his hand. He stood and read to Jill from the Bible for at least an hour.
He left the Bible with Ryan, telling him to read any passages from it if he felt like it. After that day, Ryan would read passages of the Bible out loud to his wife and hoped she would wake up.
After 11 days of Jill being in a coma, Ryan went home to be by himself for a little while. He debated about whether to pull Jill off life support, as the doctors were suggesting. The doctors believed there would be no improvement in her condition and advised taking her off life support.
He knew that it meant Jill might pass away soon after, but the next day he told doctors to go ahead and pull the plug on his wife. On the 14th day of her coma, life support was withdrawn from her.
About five hours after she was removed from life support, Jill started to move and mumble. Ryan was unable to watch what he thought were his vibrant wife’s last moments and stepped out into the waiting area until she passed.
