Megan’s Facebook page, the Ryan’s Recovery page and the GoFundMe page contain detailed reports of Ryan’s medical ups and downs over the past months. On Oct. 29, Megan reported that Ryan had been at the LTACH facility for over a month and “is now considered semi-conscious and is no longer in a coma.”

In December, the pastor was transferred to the Shepherd’s Center in Atlanta for rehab, and the latest update, posted Feb. 25, reported Ryan had gone home on Feb. 23. 

Writing about her husband’s response to his welcome home parade, Megan Marlow said, “Ryan was just shocked at all the love that was shown. For the last 6 months I’ve been able to see all the messages and the comments and the support and the prayers. But he has seen just glimpses here and there which is what made yesterday that much more amazing. For three hours Ryan waved, smiled, and interacted with hundreds of people. I’m so proud of him, I know he was exhausted.” 

She concluded, “So THANK YOU to everyone who came by. It was wonderful to meet so many of you in person and to see dear friends and family as well. We love you! To God be the glory great things He hath done!”
