GROSSE POINTE, Mich. – To say it’s been a long hard road for Mike Purdy would be an understatement, the Grosse Pointe father has been in the hospital battling COVID since November of 2020.
“He started with pretty mild symptoms and then they progressed over about a week and he ended up in the hospital,” said Mike’s wife, Judy. “He progressively got worse and worse, and that’s when he ended up being intubated and on a ventilator, and then eventually on something called ECMO, which is a lung bypass machine, and he was on that actually for 101 days.”
