In reply to the discussion: Gotta tell you about a text from my niece in TX. [View all]OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)7. You are allowed to be worried for your sister
and still think she made a stupid choice.
I love my little brothers but they can be some pig-headed dopes.
At least one of them did get the vaccine.
My friend's niece is in ICU right now with Covid and a perforated bowel because of the intubation and we just don't know how she will do. She's in her 30s and has 15 month old that had covid too but the kid got better so we are hoping for the best.
They know my thoughts and I'm not rubbing a bunch of "I told you so!" in their face. Just hoping she gets better.
My sincere best wishes for your sister and you take care of yourself too - worrying can be wearying.

So sorry for her. She must have been deep into COVID for the plasma treatment not to work.
