Ida Price of Louisiana has beaten the odds after fighting off COVID-19 while at the same time battling cancer, making her more of a medical miracle.
The 89-year-old grandma learnt she had coronavirus in late March 2020 after a relative tested positive.
Not long after, she was tested and was diagnosed with COVID-19, though she showed no symptoms.
According to click2houston.com, Price said she didn’t have a fever and never had a cough. Neither did she experience any chest pains.
After testing positive for the COVID-19, her children moved quickly to bring her to Houston from her home in Louisiana and checked her into United Memorial Medical Hospital because she was already battling colon cancer.
Legit.ng gathers that she spent a week in the hospital without complications and was discharged about a little more than a week ago.
Price credits her survival to clean living, a good diet and her religious faith.
“I drink plenty of hot teas, fruits and vegetables. I love greens,” click2houston.com quotes Price as saying.
Currently, Price is still quarantined at her daughter, Nancy’s home, awaiting final test results.
She said everyone needs to listen to doctors and health officials after overcoming the virus because ‘‘this is a serious thing. I found out this is no joke.”
