Тази сутрин разказахме историята на Джил Финли, тридесет и две годишна жена, която получи сърдечен удар и влезе в кома, само за да се събуди, след като съпругът й я отне живота. ГЛЕДАМ ВИДЕО.
Разговарях с Джил и Райън Финли след сегмента им, защото това наистина е невероятна история и е трудно да си обвиете главата. След като гледа жена си да остане в кома за четиринадесет дни, Райън Финли направи трудното решение да вземе съпругата си от четири години от подкрепата за живота. Шокиращо, Джил започна да реагира и да се събужда, след като подкрепата за живота беше премахната. В рамките на шест дни се връща – за всички намерения и цели – “нормално”.
Въпреки, че е невероятно да чуя как Джил говори и да премине през първите си спомени (първата си истинска памет след събуждането е в рехабилитация) и да говорим за първото нещо, което тя каза (тя помоли да бъде отведен в любимия си мексикански ресторант), исках за да чуе от съпруга си Райън, който беше принуден да направи едно от най-трудните решения и изпита най-чудотворния изход.
Въпрос: Райън, това трябва да е емоционален въртящ се увеселителен парк за вас. Ако вие и Джил обсъдихте въпроса за подкрепата на живота преди сърдечния удар?
Райън: Не, ние наистина не сме го обсъждали. Спомних си преди няколко години, че моята леля, която бях много близка до мен, почина след като бях на дихателен апарат. Спомням си, че Джил я видя и каза: “Никога няма да искам да живея по този начин”. Тази памет се върна при мен, когато хората ми казаха, че трябва да започна да вземам решения. Вече не можеше да остане в болницата и нямаше да я отведе в коматозно състояние. Единственият вариант беше дом за медицински сестри и просто не можах да я настаня в дом за медицински сестри в тази държава.
Въпрос: Много хора са поискали от Джил това, което си спомня от първия ден, какво беше първото нещо, което каза тя и т.н. – но за теб това беше в някои отношения трудно емоционално приспособяване, преминаващо от една крайност към друга?
Райън: О, това определено беше корекция. Не искам да кажа, че се отказах от надеждата, защото не го направих, но се опитвах да се приспособя към факта, че Джил нямаше да е тук. Около три дни преди да се събуди, размишлявах – имам предвид, че хората казват: “Трябва да започнете да вземате решения”. Нямаше да се откаже от съоръжението за рехабилитация – мислех си, че не я искам в дом за медицински сестри. Така че трябваше да започна да се подготвям.
Въпрос: И така, какво стана, когато започна да прави шумове и да се събужда?
Райън: Беше еуфорично. Това беше – не мога да си представя по-добро чувство, отколкото това, което се чувствах точно тогава. Наричах го еуфорично, беше просто – не можех да повярвам, че това се случва. Трябваше да взема двойно поемане и това продължило около двадесет и четири часа. Наистина не можех да повярвам, че това се случва. Два-три дни преди да се подготвях за най-лошото и най-доброто се случи. Беше като да живееш в съня си за един ден – после ме удари: – Тя се върна, манекенка.

This morning we told the story of Jill Finley, a 32-year-old woman who suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma, only to wake up after her husband took her off life support. I watched the video and spoke with Jill and Ryan Finley after their segment, because this is truly an incredible story and its hard to wrap your head around. After watching his wife remain in a coma for fourteen days, Ryan Finley made the difficult decision to take his four-year wife off life support. Shockingly, Jill began to react and wake up after life support was removed. Within six days, she returned – for all intents and purposes – to “normal.” Although its amazing to hear Jill speak and go through her first memories (her first real memory after waking up was in rehabilitation) and to talk about the first thing she said (she asked to be taken to her favorite Mexican restaurant), I wanted to hear from her husband Ryan, who was forced to make one of the most difficult decisions and experience the most miraculous outcome. Question: Ryan, this must be an emotional roller coaster for you. Did you and Jill discuss the issue of life support before the heart attack? Ryan: No, we really didnt discuss it. I remember a few years ago when my aunt, who I was very close to, died after being on a ventilator. I remember Jill seeing her and saying, “I never want to live like this.” That memory came back to me when people told me I had to start making decisions. She couldnt stay in the hospital anymore and she wasnt going to be taken to a comatose state. The only option was a nursing home and I just couldnt put her in a nursing home in this state. Question: Many people have asked Jill what she remembers from the first day, what was the first thing she said, etc. – but for you, this was a difficult emotional adjustment in some ways, going from one extreme to the other? Ryan: Oh, it was definitely a correction. I dont want to say I gave up hope because I didnt, but I was trying to adjust to the fact that Jill wasnt going to be here. About three days before she woke up, I was thinking – I mean, people say, “You have to start making decisions.” She wasnt going to give up the rehab facility – I was thinking I didn
