“They diagnosed him with not only COVID but also pneumonia and a pretty serious case as well,” Donna said.

“I started taking him meals up because he wasn’t eating the hospital food,” Donna said.
“Not too bad, feeling much better,” Woody said.
They believe the power of family and love made all the difference.

Though this year has been full of hardships, Donna also revealed she lost her job this year because of COVID, there’s so much more to be thankful for this season.
