A dad-of-three has made it home after being on death's door with the coronavirus.
Beloved husband and dad, Greg, had been in Salford Royal Hospital battling COVID-19.
During his fight with the disease, it was 'touch and go' whether he would even pull through, said Greg.
He was unable to see his family during the ordeal, but they called him every day 'never giving up hope' as he battled the virus.
Now hospital staff have announced that Greg has made it out of the hospital and has returned home to recover further.
In an emotional video, nurses and doctors w stood and applauded as the father-of-three was wheeled out of the hospital - ready to meet his family again after being apart for so long.
"We’re incredibly pleased to say that Greg is now home with his family after recovering from coronavirus," said a spokesperson for Salford Royal.
"Father-of-three Greg said it was ‘touch and go’ whether or not he would pull though at one stage but his wife and family never gave up hope."
Greg added that his wife believed he had the strength to pull through.
“My wife was confident that I was strong enough to get through this," he said.
"“The ICU team and ward H2 at Salford Royal were fantastic and called my wife every day to let her know how I was doing because she couldn’t come and visit me.
“I obviously still can’t see the rest of my family because of the lockdown but it is great to finally be back home with my wife and children.”
