After a life-long threatening battle with coronavirus, Opal Neal of Milwaukee has been discharged from the hospital to be with her family.
Neal, 88, was finally allowed to see her family on Sunday, April 26, 2020, after a two-week-long battle with coronavirus.
Legit.ng learnt that her family said they believe Neal contracted COVID-19 at a facility where she was previously living.
They got to see her in person after she gained strength at a rehabilitation facility.
Neal’s family was so excited to see their matriarch for the first time in weeks.
A family member, simply identified as Spears told fox6now.com that Neal ‘‘went through stages of declining, and on a ventilator, and having problems with her kidneys.’’
The family prayed in all kinds of places amid her ill health and thankfully she whooped the mess out of coronavirus.
Neal was transported from the hospital by Bell Ambulance and sang along as she listened to the harmonising voices of her family who tried to keep their distance as she was being moved.
Neal, who turned 89 on April 28, 2020, is in good spirits, talking and walking again.
