Kelly said he was the ''sickest patient&nbsp;at Mount Sinai Morningside'' and while he was in a coma, he had pneumonia in both lungs."

"I was agitated so they gave me fentanyl to calm me down. I got addicted to the fentanyl so they had to wean me down on methadone, and I had a massive brain bleed, which they say covered my entire brain."&nbsp;"They threw everything at me, I got addicted to fentanyl, they had to wean me off. I'm a recovering drug addict, I don't even remember it," he said in statement given to CNN

"I was in a very dark place, but something pulled me out. And if that's a miracle, that's a miracle," he added.

His brother gave him the nickname "Miracle Larry", a moniker that has come to define his fight.

The 64-year-old's only hope of surviving the deadly virus was a promise he made to his wife&nbsp;Dawn and&nbsp;daughter.

When Kelly was in&nbsp;drug-induced coma he had told them&nbsp;“I promise I’ll never stop fighting.”

After getting released from hospital, the first thing Kelly did was to hug them both who were waiting outside his ward to take him home.

The United States has recorded&nbsp;4.1 million cases of the virus which have resulted in 145,324 fatalities.
