“God answers prayers,” Pastor Terrance Hughes said as he left Regional Medical Center.

Family and friends who were able to meet Hughes for the first time after being hospitalized on March 9 were waiting for Terrance at the door to greet him.

“I think God sees everything,” said Hughes’ sister Bonnie.

Pastor's wife Rachel Hughes said: "I am grateful that he is alive and that I can touch him." In July, this couple will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the marriage.

The virus damaged Pastor Terrance's lungs and kidneys. The ambulance had to immediately take him to the emergency center. But first, Hughes managed to thank the medical staff of the hospital where he was lying and his entire family. Hughes' wife was even able to hug him before he left.

“I was emotional and nervous all the time. It lasted an insanely long time,” she stated.

She also contracted COVID-19, but recovered completely without hospitalization.

Well-wishers and employees of the Veterans Administration lined up for three blocks. They waved flags and balloons to celebrate Hughes' recovery.

He is an Air Force veteran and co-pastor at New Testament Christian Church in Denver.

“Every time the phone rang, I was so afraid to answer,” Rachel Hughes said of her husband’s hospitalization.

The wife expressed gratitude to the ICU team: “They supported us financially and spiritually; this is truly a blessing. “I am very grateful that he is alive and able to move on to the next stage of rehabilitation,” Rachel Hughes said. “Then one more, and after that we’ll go home.”
