Woman recovered by faith

According to the organization, elderly people and people with underlining health conditions are at a greater risk of dying from the virus. Bob credited his mother’s miraculous recovery to “her faith, for one, and then the love for her family.”

He also revealed that she was determined to get better because she wanted to return to her own room. Vera has been staying at the health care facility for 13 years.

Speaking to family through a window

Her family visited her by standing by her window while she was quarantined, making sure to come through almost daily. During phone calls, Vera would only be able to speak for a minute due to exhaustion.

Bob recalled one night when she wasn’t so good, through the window he saw her lips moving and realized that she was praying. On April 6, 2020, Vera was taken back to her normal room.
