I work with the man married to the middle sister in this story. I'm posting this because this is real life....not a staged story. It is pain that is going through this family, and going through our company because we love them.
Three sisters and their parents, parents in their late 60's, sisters in their 40's with teenage kids.
The grandfather had bypass surgery spring 2020, so the grandmother and her daughters made sure he got vaccinated....but they were hard core against it for themselves.
Several weeks ago (I could go to Facebook for the exact dates snd timeline, but it isn't pertinent) the kids went to camp, and came back with covid. They gave it to their parents, and their grandparents. I don't know exact dates of symptom onset, but this isn't the only family dealing with it.
Grandfather was the last one to get it, had a fever for one day, cold like symptoms for two days, and that was it. He's fine.
This is yesterday's post from the youngest daughter (previous updates were from the oldest, til she got too sick to do it) ....
Update: ***** and I are feeling better each day and resuming some normal life again. He’s been working again this week (still from home), and I made the bed and cleaned out the fridge. Baby steps...
The fatigue is still ever present, some lingering coughing, but we’ve both been fever free for a few days now.
My sister, ******* and her husband ****** need prayers. He is struggling with vomiting and high fevers. He had an antibody infusion today. Praying it helps him. She is having fevers and headache and body aches. I picked up her kids today and have them here overnight. Praying it will allow her some better rest.
Mom has been able to be off the Bipap during the days, and able to be on the vapotherm. They are slowly trying to wean her need for oxygen down. She should have a repeat chest X-ray tomorrow and we are praying for encouraging news. Pray for an increased appetite and the ability for her to eat more solid foods. Specifically pray also for her spirit to be encouraged and uplifted. It has been 17 days now being there and away from us. I can only imagine that is discouraging on top of already feeling bad. We need her whole self battling this. We want her back home with us.
Love you all. Please keep praying!"
My coworker's wife so far doesn't have it. She has RA so we are really thankful. She did get vaccinated, and pleads daily on Facebook for others to do the same.
