90-year-old Geneva Wood, who recovered from coronavirus. She is seen here hugging her daughter, Cami.Geneva Wood had a stroke in December that left her recovering in a Washington state nursing home.
"That 24-hour decline was serious," Neidigh told Insider."She was reaching out and crying for us, wanting us to come into the room. She said it was her time to go. We went into the room, she was saying her goodbyes. We were holding her hand. No hugs were allowed."On Tuesday, March 24, she was released from the hospital having made an unlikely recovery from COVID-19.
"She wanted to tell us that she was proud of us, she loved us, she gave some special instructions to some of us - like be nice to your brother - and she wanted us to know she was at peace," she said."It was a gift that we had because other families have not been able to go in."Geneva Wood is a hometown hero for beating the coronavirus at age 90.After seeing her family, Wood started to make an improvement.
While that might have helped, Neidigh also gives some credit for the recovery to her mother's strong upbringing. "One time when she was thirsty, and pushed the call button for a Sprite, and they hadn't brought it to her, to get their attention she pressed it again, started waving, and said,"I'm not dead yet,'" Neidigh said, chuckling."'Now, I'm thirsty, bring me a Sprite.'"
