A 90-year-old Washington woman is crediting God, her family and her homemade potato soup for helping her beat novel coronavirus.
Just days before she was to be discharged from the facility, Wood fell and broke her hip on March 4. Two days later, on March 6, she was diagnosed with COVID-19, according to one of her daughters, Cami Neidigh.
"She was crying out and trying to reach out to us through the window," said Neidigh."At that time, we were one of the lucky families who could suit up and go in one-by-one and hold her hand, but not hug her, and she could talk to us." "She had gone about a week without eating and once we were able to get her some soup and once she was able to see us through the window, she really rallied," said Neidigh."It's her comfort food."Geneva Wood, 90, of Washington, credits potato soup with helping her beat COVID-19."Mom has told me that her mother taught her to make it when she was a kid," she said."Anytime she gets sick, what she survives on is her potato soup.
