This woman being an open vessel for GOD to use her - If she's aware of that or not - Show's how AMAZING GOD IS!!! May the continue to bless her and him along with all health care workers on the front line daily! 🗝️📖🎁❤️🙏🏽⚔️🛡️🔥🕊️🕊️🕊️🔥
The nurse lady is such a sweetheart. However Jacob's medical bill is going to cost him his life all over again. You're looking at over 1 million dollar medical expenses already. God bless Jacob! So sad that he had no families left other than his extremely ill parents.
*_As an update :_* Jacob has received his control bionics eye gaze computer! The computer allows him to use a keyboard to speak. It also allows him access to Facebook, TH-cam, texting and more. Jacob is working daily to master his new device. It will take time for him to use it quickly. But he is making progress.
Zack does Jacop intend to start a TH-cam or other Social Media so others can follow him on his Journey? I'm overjoyed that he able to communicate. I lost my best friend to a Bastular Anyurism three years ago August. He was only 30.
My brother suffered from a brain stem stroke in 2014 and he was locked in and unable to breath on his own and was only able to communicate with his eyes. He told us that he did not want to live like this and was taken off life support. He died 5 minutes later. I want to thank these caregivers for letting him know they are there for him. RIP Allen.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am also relieved that your brother was able to communicate with your family how he felt and to be "heard". Even with all that I've seen in my EMS career l just can't imagine a patient not having ANY kind of voice in their health care.
@@st.toussaint4632 Oh look, it's mister gwumpy pants! No sweet feewings or any cewebwations allowed when he's awound! Cant tell anybody nice things when mister gwumpy shows up in the comments! 😢

@@pizzapartytime1826 you are both right. The key is understanding your problems and emotions are valid but realizing too that it could be far worse as a reminder to be grateful.
You're finally free Jacob. Rest in Paradise. He passed away 15JUL2022 in Cleveland, TN. Thank you Tricia Limpus and all the other caretakers for making his last couple years comfortable.
So sad =( At least he was able to reflect on his life before he passed.. He awoke from his dream to show us all how strong and resilient he really was..
You need to see a lawyer to get an Advance Directive prepared (also referred to as a Living Will, or a Medical Proxy). Once you have the documents prepared, you give them to your primary care physician and they will scan them into your medical records. That way they can see it if you become incapacitated. You also give a copy to your spouse, siblings and close friends. It reduces the chances of anyone in your life refusing to obey it. It will also allow the hospital to get an Order from a Judge if it is challenged by your family. This subject is very unpleasant, but you have to speak up while you can.
I can relate to Jacob. I’m an Air Force veteran that also had a brain aneurysm on the right side of my head. It ended my career as an Air Traffic Controller, but I’m thankful to still be alive. My prayers go out to you brother, I wish you the best!
I just had a brain anurism and almost died, myself . I was poisoned by another foreign employee at work . I woke up in the hospital after being in a Coma. I'm on permanent disability now ...
@@jessiejames2155 Jessie, I wish you the best brother, I had a lot of rehabilitation I had to do to get back close to being normal. I am thankful and my prayers goes out to you!
I hear you bro. I'm m an 11 year army combat veteran. I've had two brain tumors removed and am medically retired. I still have some really bad seizures here and there but always try to stay strong 💪
If he can communicate with a smart, kind R.N. he is not alone. His elderly parents are suffering without him. I will pray that he improves further. Thank you for your service Sir.
My heart is breaking for him! In 2012, I also had a brain aneurysm but I survived the surgery by doing the coil. I’m thankful to God for my recovery and I’m sending prayers for this awesome marine! God Bless him!

How tragic. I had a ruptured brain aneurysm two years ago and I’m so lucky I fully recovered. If you ever feel something like an electric shock hit the top of your head, go to the ER immediately.

@@nonenone2669 the shock was painful for a minute or so. I also had a really painful and stiff neck. It did take my breath away for a minute and then I got super hot. I put some ice packs on for a minute and felt better and almost went to bed instead.

@@firstnamelastname8790 you are incorrect. The Marine Corp has a unique and valid way of referring to those who served but are no longer on active duty. Once a Marine, ALWAYS A MARINE.

He’s basically abandoned with no family and I guess no friends who can legally step up and advocate for him. What a horrible life being stuck in your body like that.

@@rickobrien4025 I don't think he would ask to be let go. He is happy to be alive and is truly blessed to be out of the coma. I dont know what it is like to be in a coma but if you have the ability to hear think while youre under, i am sure all you would like to do is open your eyes even if atleast one more time. The song "I can only imagine" is a Christian song describing how indescribable it would be to see and meet Jesus. Who knows if this Marine is a devoted Christian but i am sure he thanks God for allowing him to hear, smell, see again and even communicate. He may not have full function of his body but his story spreads hope to those whose family members are also in comas.
Unfortunately Jacob passed on 7/15/22. One year after this news piece on him. I saw this a couple yrs ago, was on my TH-cam feed again. Curious about what happened to him, if he was better and found out he died. Shocked me a bit. It's sad that some people have to suffer so much and can't have a happy ending. Rest in peace Jacob, your free now. With God.
@@harisinam4078 his ability to continue to smile even through everything he had been through gives me strength and puts my own circumstances in life into a new perspective.
I feel like he’s going to fully recover. The fact he’s able to open his and communicate after he woke up is great on it’s own. I’m praying for his speedy recovery. I wish I could help (just here for inspiration, golly..)
Unfortunately, it’s very rare to recover more than very basic motor function. Hopefully a knowledgeable SLP has stepped in to expand on what the RT began.
There are 2 situations though, one more horrific than the other. I saw on Scary Interesting a case where a guy woke up come a coma in Locked in Syndrome for years without anyone ever realizing! Therefore he did not have any family or nurses who would talk to or nurture him or provide him any kind of stimulation. Once, it was either his mother or wife, said out loud to him, they wish he would just die, not realizing he could hear them. Somehow, he kept the will to live and eventually a nurse noticed a slight response in his eyes, and everyoneiu0 found out he was conscious the entire time. He was at least able to communicate in his last few years, but his fate was the same as Jacob's eventually. 45r
Well that depends if you to heaven or hell. Nothing will be worse than the lake of fire. Repent and give your life to Jesus christ for eternity in heaven! For free ‼️
@@ezekielgdkBrother, you and me and everyone else will rot in the dirt. Until that day just continue to believe in fairy tales if it makes you feel better, but dirt is not going anywhere.
When not restricted by Covid, what's stopping the rest of us from volunteering to read to patients? We could alleviate their boredom, stimulate their minds, and allow them to feel a connection. Even for those still in comas, since many have awareness, later telling about listening to conversations around them.
@@JohnSmith-xx9thIt’s the leadership that has failed soldiers. But that doesn’t mean these soldiers aren’t brave and trying to do something for the greater good. They surely sacrifice themselves for their society. It’s the leadership at the very top that has been failing them.
@@dianapeterson3404 well I made it a point because we RT's are seriously under appreciated. We work alongside of RNs with a work load much higher for way less pay.
Because of Basic B’s abusing the VA System. According to their “testimony” there are a thousand times as many “rapists” as there are in the general pollution. They are Big Sister Police Statists, all the homeless veterans are Men.
I was an ICU nurse. Family and friends will say “Do everything that can be done to keep them alive” without understanding what the aftermath and quality of life will be after. I have empathy for the family that it’s not an easy decision. But seeing cases like these every week made me leave the ICU. There are worse things than death but as a society we don’t seem to accept that. This is an anoxic injury and it isn’t rare. Heart goes out to him.
@cxxx valee ya know I can only speak from my personal experiences and what I would want. I guess it’s unfair for me to say “who would want that” but at the same time I gotta say who the hell would want that? I agree. Thank you for your service for real. ❤️💪🏽
I can see how some people would want to try and get better no matter what. The hope to get better is enough for them. Some want to be around for other people like their kids or partners, no matter their state. But for me id rather not. I agree with the other commentors here. I've told my mom similar things, where if its a major lifelong complication or a high chance of more pain for the rest of my life then let me go. I've lived with chronic pain this far, it something happens that makes it even more unbearable just please let me go and let me rest.
@@h.s.6269 True. I can also understand that different life experiences lead to different decision making. I guess the view of what suffering is might not be unanimous. But for the ones that didn’t put it in writing before hand I really feel for. A lack of documentation(will, POA, DNR etc etc) was at times a big deciding factor of what a persons future would look like.
There's a certain, shall we say "culture", in the US that denies people thier right to not live in pain, or a vegetative state, because of their beliefs. It's disgusting.
She is inspiring. I hope people like you and I are inspired enough to volunteer to read to coma patients and to those recovering. We can stimulate their minds and break up the long hours of boredom for them!
@@catherinewalsh3954 I take it you aren't a very wonderful person, are you? 😁 A lot of nurses aren't like her. The fact you had to minimize what this woman has done for this man speaks volumes.
@@laurenanderson7330 it's more an either or. Either she is working for free or she is a getting paid by the Government via Socialist Healthcare... i thought socialism was bad but here it's good? What gives?
The passion in this woman's voice to advocate for this man, to care for this man the way I can tell she does it brings tears to my eyes. As painful as this situation is it shows that humanity has so much promise, so much potential. This woman is an angel!!!💯❤️
Because he fought for a governments illegal war and not for his country. His countrymen don't feel a need to take care of him because his countrymen didn't ask him to go to war. His government tricked him to go to war and then treated him like the useless tool he let himself be. Very sad, but this is America!
I wish my father was treated with this amount of dignity and respect as this fellow vet was when he was in hospital. He was shamefully neglected and abused. God bless
Every Hospital including VA .nursing homes Private Elderly care Facility. We're supposed to have in each rooms a cam for the patient . That way family members able to see how they get treat each day how they doing on daily basic There you could observe if we'll treat daily feed property what type of diet and the staff treatment. . Instead tech was unethically miss use for others purposes
Nurses truly are earthly angels. I've only needed their care in relatively minor ways a few times, but they were amazing each time, and helped me through a couple scary events. They should get paid every bit as much, or more than doctors IMO.
God bless her for helping him and caring so much. And may God be with him every second of his day, and may He free this sweet young soldier from the prison in which he's locked. He's living my absolute worst nightmare, and it both scares and saddens me to see him like this. He will be in my prayers daily from this one on.
This hurts my heart :( he served his country and doesn't even get to enjoy his retirement! i'm so sorry Jacob you are an Awesome Man and i thank you for your service! Thank you Nurse for taking good care of him Thank you for your service as well to this Man!

Jacob Thank you for your service. As another person commented - once a Marine always a Marine. Your body betraying you does not change the man you were. I have health problems. They get me down. I will keep you in my thoughts for strength. If you could do this then I sure can. Sending you lots of love. Rest in peace and I am glad you are free of the body that betrayed you. I believe you were and are an inspiration for many.
Not quite, for one he can see and hear, in "one" he has lost all his senses and limbs, just lost in solitary darkness. Also most patients of locked in syndrome make a decent recovery.

God Bless these care takers who are taking care of this Marine. You folks deserve an award or something.
This healthcare worker is such a I don’t know she’s just more than amazing
Unfortunately Jacob passed on 7/15/22. One year after this news piece on him. I saw this a couple yrs ago, was on my TH-cam feed again. Curious about what happened to him, if he was better and found out he died.
Shocked me a bit. It's sad that some people have to suffer so much and can't have a happy ending. Rest in peace Jacob, your free now. With God.
💔
Thank you for updating us.
He seemed like a guy who could find a smile even in the worst of circumstances.
@@harisinam4078 his ability to continue to smile even through everything he had been through gives me strength and puts my own circumstances in life into a new perspective.
Who paid for his healthcare?
The woman is a hero! Seeing his smile does make you feel better. I really do hope one day he can find a way to have control over his life again.
He passed in July of 2022
did the woman work for free? who paid for all his healthcare if had no family or job? is this Communism?
This is what I do for some of my hospice pts when they cant speak but understand..do whatever you can to help them..🥰

Wow where is he in what State I’m 81 but would hep if he’s near!
I feel like he’s going to fully recover. The fact he’s able to open his and communicate after he woke up is great on it’s own. I’m praying for his speedy recovery. I wish I could help (just here for inspiration, golly..)
What WILL POWER!!! Amazing! God has a plan for the marine❤️ Sending warm hugs and the best of wishes for a super speedy recovery 🙏🏼
Unfortunately, it’s very rare to recover more than very basic motor function. Hopefully a knowledgeable SLP has stepped in to expand on what the RT began.
That’s wishful thinking unfortunately
@Sarah Hanby Sure it’s possible! There’s so much that science has no explanation for. Praying for his full recovery .

Locked In Syndrome is probably the most horrifying condition that I've ever heard of.
@@ZiggyonMarsI mean. does it look like he has any quality of life
@robertsmithslefttoe3644 He has passed away July 15, 2022.🕯
This is the only fate worse than death. It’s just endless suffering
i agree, i’d rather be euthanized than be in that situation.
There are 2 situations though, one more horrific than the other. I saw on Scary Interesting a case where a guy woke up come a coma in Locked in Syndrome for years without anyone ever realizing! Therefore he did not have any family or nurses who would talk to or nurture him or provide him any kind of stimulation. Once, it was either his mother or wife, said out loud to him, they wish he would just die, not realizing he could hear them. Somehow, he kept the will to live and eventually a nurse noticed a slight response in his eyes, and everyoneiu0 found out he was conscious the entire time. He was at least able to communicate in his last few years, but his fate was the same as Jacob's eventually. 45r
He has one hell of a Will to live and fight. A true marine
And I think I have bad days. Puts everything in perspective. Bless both of their hearts.
As my doctor once said, some things are worse than death.
oh yes there is trust me.
Well that depends if you to heaven or hell. Nothing will be worse than the lake of fire.
Repent and give your life to Jesus christ for eternity in heaven! For free ‼️

Thank you for your service, Marine
Wait till he finds out that the wars he fought all were lost

Amen!🙏🏼❤️
@R Joseph...Amen!!!
When not restricted by Covid, what's stopping the rest of us from volunteering to read to patients? We could alleviate their boredom, stimulate their minds, and allow them to feel a connection. Even for those still in comas, since many have awareness, later telling about listening to conversations around them.
Amen
Lol God won't help if he was real he'd help everyone
This woman is amazing and this man has incredible strength keep fighting my man
God bless this man and his nurse!
He’s definitely not a former Marine. He is a Marine!! Prayers and love brother!! 👊🏽❤️

Yup right on

@@dianapeterson3404 well I made it a point because we RT's are seriously under appreciated. We work alongside of RNs with a work load much higher for way less pay.
@@diggerdogadventures976 well you shouldn't be under appreciated .
Any update to this story?
How hasn’t this Marine not been given the assistance he needs??
😢
I just came here to see if there was an update too. What a sad story, I would love to be his friend.
Because of Basic B’s abusing the VA System. According to their “testimony” there are a thousand times as many “rapists” as there are in the general pollution.
They are Big Sister Police Statists, all the homeless veterans are Men.
same here...would love to see an update on Jacob🤗🙏📿
Yes, update please. We need to stand up for our veterans.
What an awesome nurse. She is definitely in the right field
Rest in Peace Jacob Creasman, thank you for your service...

Thank you Marine. I hope you recover. The nurse is amazing.
Lord help this man get the things that he needs🙏 God Bless you Nurse for being this young man's voice💞🙏
Respiratory therapist, not an RN
God bless you for helping him I thank him for his service to America.
I was an ICU nurse. Family and friends will say “Do everything that can be done to keep them alive” without understanding what the aftermath and quality of life will be after. I have empathy for the family that it’s not an easy decision. But seeing cases like these every week made me leave the ICU. There are worse things than death but as a society we don’t seem to accept that. This is an anoxic injury and it isn’t rare. Heart goes out to him.
@cxxx valee ya know I can only speak from my personal experiences and what I would want. I guess it’s unfair for me to say “who would want that” but at the same time I gotta say who the hell would want that? I agree. Thank you for your service for real. ❤️💪🏽
I can see how some people would want to try and get better no matter what. The hope to get better is enough for them. Some want to be around for other people like their kids or partners, no matter their state.
But for me id rather not. I agree with the other commentors here. I've told my mom similar things, where if its a major lifelong complication or a high chance of more pain for the rest of my life then let me go. I've lived with chronic pain this far, it something happens that makes it even more unbearable just please let me go and let me rest.
@@h.s.6269 True. I can also understand that different life experiences lead to different decision making. I guess the view of what suffering is might not be unanimous. But for the ones that didn’t put it in writing before hand I really feel for. A lack of documentation(will, POA, DNR etc etc) was at times a big deciding factor of what a persons future would look like.
@cxxx valee 🙏🏼❤️💪🏽
There's a certain, shall we say "culture", in the US that denies people thier right to not live in pain, or a vegetative state, because of their beliefs. It's disgusting.
She is inspiring. I hope people like you and I are inspired enough to volunteer to read to coma patients and to those recovering. We can stimulate their minds and break up the long hours of boredom for them!
This man is very smart and even stronger I pray this man will get better and get help. He deserves it!
What a kind, compassionate person. She’s going way beyond her job for him❤️🙏🏻
did this woman work for free? who paid for all the healthcare? is this what Socialism is?

The passion in this woman's voice to advocate for this man, to care for this man the way I can tell she does it brings tears to my eyes. As painful as this situation is it shows that humanity has so much promise, so much potential. This woman is an angel!!!💯❤️
He fought for this country. Why is it even a fight to get him what he needs to function in the world. Get him what he needs…FOR FREE!!!
Because he fought for a governments illegal war and not for his country. His countrymen don't feel a need to take care of him because his countrymen didn't ask him to go to war. His government tricked him to go to war and then treated him like the useless tool he let himself be.
Very sad, but this is America!
He passed away last year sadly...
@@OG-BIG-SHEPHERD. oh no.
You must be unaware that Republicans don’t respect veterans and cut funding every chance they get.
Because this country is a pos, the people fighting for our country can't even get basic healthcare without fighting for that too.
I wish my father was treated with this amount of dignity and respect as this fellow vet was when he was in hospital. He was shamefully neglected and abused. God bless

Bless you Tricia, for giving this man care, consideration, compassion & dignity
So glad to read he’s got the technology now he needs to help improve his life. Thank goodness for this lovely nurse 💕
Nurses truly are earthly angels.
I've only needed their care in relatively minor ways a few times, but they were amazing each time, and helped me through a couple scary events. They should get paid every bit as much, or more than doctors IMO.
The nurse is an angel. I hope he will fully recover one day. Sad. 😔
Thank you for treating him as a human.
Seriously
Thank God for this nurse who took the time to give Jacob a way to communicate. Bless her!
God bless her for helping him and caring so much. And may God be with him every second of his day, and may He free this sweet young soldier from the prison in which he's locked. He's living my absolute worst nightmare, and it both scares and saddens me to see him like this. He will be in my prayers daily from this one on.
Amen...x
She is such an amazing person. Prayers and blessings for them both.
This nurse is a rare gem. I wish her forever happy and healthy !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm just glad now people like this actually have some way of communicating

Jacob Thank you for your service. As another person commented - once a Marine always a Marine. Your body betraying you does not change the man you were. I have health problems. They get me down. I will keep you in my thoughts for strength. If you could do this then I sure can. Sending you lots of love. Rest in peace and I am glad you are free of the body that betrayed you. I believe you were and are an inspiration for many.
I wish I was rich this man would have what he needs! God bless this man, and this young lady for helping him!!!
if you guys have ever heard the song “one” by metallica, this is very very relatable to that
First thing i thought of when i saw the title
Tf thats creepy
Not quite, for one he can see and hear, in "one" he has lost all his senses and limbs, just lost in solitary darkness.
Also most patients of locked in syndrome make a decent recovery.
I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm on July 29, 2012. Worst event in my life. God bless that therapist. I hope that man gets what he needs.
Yes..I looked it up..he passed July 2022. Had a year & 3 month's of being awake again. What a miracle..& what a wonderful caring team around him.
Someone always has it worse than you! prayers 🙏 for this guy that he is fully healed and has a full recovery 🙏 Amen 🙏
