COVID-19 patient Stephen Donelson is applauded by family and health care professionals as he departs the Zale Hospital on the UT Southwestern Campus in Dallas, Friday, June 19, 2020. During his three-month hospital stay, Donelson spent 17 days on a ventilator. When it was removed, he was too weak to even sit without support and the breathing tube had taken away his ability to swallow. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)

Terri Donelson and her husband, Stephen, right, are greeted by friends, family and neighbors after his arrival at his home in Midlothian, Texas on Friday, June 19, 2020. A trick doctors around the world shared with each other: Flip COVID-19 patients over from their backs to their stomach. It’s called proning and it takes pressure off the lungs, which lie closer to the back. Donelson stayed on his belly about 16 hours a day early on, as his doctors watched his oxygen levels improve.

He had undergone an organ transplant two years earlier, and the immune-suppressing drugs that prevent rejection of his new lungs and liver meant his body couldn’t fight the coronavirus.
