GARNER, N.C. (WTVD) -- Eight months since he tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, Martin Taylor is literally taking life one step at a time.
"When I first took my step it took like 10 minute to take one step, and once I did that I was out of breath. I had to lay back down," Taylor said.
Last fall, Taylor was on life support for more than two months and in the hospital for nearly six months. He's been home since December, but his recovery is far from over.
"It's just a challenge with him, holding on, going one day at a time," said his wife, Eugenia Taylor. "It's a mental challenge."
