FileVault stuck decrypting at 98%

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro that I’ve been trying to update. I just upgraded the OS From lion to El Capitan and accidentally turned on FileVault. I had canceled the progress early using terminal commands and it began decrypting. However, it has now been stuck on 98.84% progress for the last 2 days. Is there anyway to check if it is stuck or get it to finish decrypting? Any help would be appreciated.

Hold down the Power button until the computer shuts down. Wait at least 10 seconds, then restart.
