pulls through
Recovers against odds
To pull through is to survive or recover from a serious illness, injury, or crisis: The doctors weren't sure she'd make it, but she pulled through.
It can also mean to help someone else survive a difficult period: His family's support pulled him through.
The phrase emphasizes emergence on the other side of hardship.
