A Cherokee County man who spent 112 days at UAB Hospital in Birmingham battling COVID-19 was reunited with family after being released on Saturday afternoon.

Terry White of Centre said that he tested positive for COVID back on April 30th after he began feeling sick, weak and having some respiratory issues and made a visit to Urgent Care  and was subsequently taken to Gadsden Regional Medical Center on May 3 Hospital where he spent over nine hours before being sent back home.

Five days later White returned to the hospital on May 9 and was admitted into Intensive Care, Terry was placed on a ventilator and remained in a comatose state for 54 days at UAB Hospital in Birmingham.

Terry was placed on an ECMO machine, dialysis, and had two feeding tubes placed because of the damage due to the virus.

Terry is urging other families to take safety precautions.

All of us here at WEIS welcome Terry back home and wish him the best as he continues to recover.
