CBS St. Louis February 08, 2021 A local family has a big reason to celebrate Saturday as the man of the house returns after being hospitalized for COVID-19 for more than a month. Waylon Graham went home from the hospital after a long journey with COVID-19. He was hospitalized just before Christmas and had to be put on a ventilator in an ICU. Family members say he almost died several times before things started to turn around in what they call a "miraculous" recovery. Graham said he doesn't remember much from the last month and a half but he's thankful to everyone who cared for him. Graham is one of more than 18,000 COVID-19 patients discharged from area hospitals since the pandemic began.
