(CBS4) — A man who was given a 5% likelihood of survival after contracting COVID-19 is now sharing his story of survival in hope of saving others from going through the trauma he did this year.

Nathan Washam, 43, was in a coma for nearly two months and later diagnosed as paralyzed following his contracting COVID-19.

Washam, who prior to COVID-19 was very physically active, went into the hospital in January 2021 weighing 218 pounds.

Doctors with UCHealth said his previous cancer diagnosis do not contribute to his severe response to COVID-19.

“This can happen to anyone,” Washam said.

Washam said he didn’t remember much from when he contracted COVID-19.

“I remember being wheeled in through the back door, but beyond that, I don’t remember anything until I woke up months later,” Washam recalled.

Couldn’t do anything,” Washam said.

“It was scary, it was heartbreaking,” Sarah Washam said.
