CAMPBELL COUNTY, Va. – It was a heartwarming homecoming for Teon Burford and his family Thursday, after a battle with COVID-19. The 36-year-old was already battling lung disease and had just qualified for a transplant. “He had 43 percent lung function before he even got COVID, so after COVID they said it was very bad,” Rachael said. “I remember Rachel came in the room and asked me if I was scared and I told her no but didn’t understand why. I didn’t understand why,” said Teon.
