An event changed the life of this couple for worse, but the wife did something sweet and things were all well

Pull The Plug

It had been 9 days now since Matt had been in the hospital and there was absolutely no sign or hope of improvement. The doctor kept informing her that there was only a 10% chance that Matt would awake and even then he would not be his previous self. They kept insisting her to pull the plug. But the loyal and faithful partner that Danielle was, she did not pay the slightest heed to the doctors and refused to give up on her husband.

Hope Keeps The World Running

Even when the professionals gave up on Matt, Danielle did not. There was a chance that Matt never wakes up from his coma, or he dies in it but Danielle refused to give up on her belief in their love and her faith in God. It did pay off, but it came with a price.

10% Was Enough To Survive On

Danielle set her bets on the 10% that doctor told were the only chances of survival. She would have held on even if there was 1% chance of Matt’s survival. It is probably true that when you desire something to happen the entire universe conspires to make it happen for you. Positivity attracts positivity. In this case, however, the results were not totally as expected.

Moving In Together, Again

Tired of being discouraged by doctors, Danielle took a step which not only surprised doctors but her family too. She decided to move him out of the hospital and take him back to their home. She took her to her mom’s so that they could take care of him together. Danielle was reported saying this to her mother- “If he’s going to be a body in a bed, let’s give him something to look at”.

Taking Care Was Not Easy

Matt came home supported by a life support machine which rendered him incapable of any bodily function and was the only reason he was breathing. Matt had to be administered timely medicines and keeping tabs of all was not easy. Danielle had to take care of his physical therapy too, to keep the muscles of his body active. He had to be fed, cleaned, bathed- it was equivalent to taking care of a newborn baby.

No Progress At All

Even after taking all this care of Matt and literally making him feel at home there was absolutely no change in his condition. What the doctors said in the first couple of months was proving to be true, but Danielle just kept on taking care of him. Even their families were overwhelmed with the kind of perseverance Danielle showed in taking care of Matt.
