Another Phone Call ~ ICU

Got another phone call a few minutes ago. My cousin's sister is now in ICU. In the same hospital as the sister that coded twice last week. She is doing better but still has issues, in a regular room. I know, kind of confusing. I keep my distance from the issues but always want to know how they are all doing. My blind cousin called to update me, and said that these two sisters do not speak, and have not for many years. But she talks to both of them, she is the oldest. Very sad. The one in ICU is having lung issues. They are trying to get her lungs clear enough to take her off the ventilator. So far, no success. She is starting to give up. Hoping for the best. Her husband is home, still recovering from his stay in the hospital with COVID. Be thankful for your health everyone.

My brother and his wife have just been diagnosed. I have not seen them since August. You really have your plate full.

I'm sorry her sister is now in the hospital. I'm sorry your cousin who has lung issues seems to be giving up. She's still on my prayer list.

That is so sad, especially the fact that the sisters don't talk to each other. I do hope they both recover.

The latest sister has been traded for COVID in a smaller hospital, then transferred to ICU.

Isn't your cousin's sister also your cousin?

@Maluse I assume how it’s written she is only related the the one girl not her sister. I assume the other one is a half sister or step sister or something

@CarolDM I was seriously asking this question as I don't understand your family relations from what you've written. But if it is too much for you to explain what's what, I won't molest you any longer.

I’m so sorry. It’s compounded by them not speaking to each other. It eats you up to see your family suffering like that, doesn’t it. My prayers.
