CHICAGO (WLS) -- It took two and a half months, but Marian Steele fought COVID-19 and won, and now she's back home.
Steele said prayer paved her wake back to her South Side home.
"We was just blessed that she was able to come back to us, and we are thankful for that," said her sister Elisa Luckey.
Marian and her husband Robert were taken by ambulance from their South Side home on March 31 to a hospital. Robert had already tested positive for the coronavirus. Marian would soon find out she was also infected.
Robert returned home two weeks later, but Marian had a much tougher fight against the virus. Already a cancer survivor, she suffered a heart attack while in the hospital.
"Everything they said would go wrong went wrong, but God was on our side," said her sister Rachel Sanders.
"It's been a little rough, not having her around and not seeing her face and not being able to touch her," Robert said. "In prayer, I could always be near her when I prayed."
She stayed at two hospitals and then at Shirley Ryan Ability Lab for rehab. She was released from rehab Thursday morning and said she couldn't wait to embrace her husband of 29 years.
