This is a story too many have been able to share:
A few days ago my dad said he got a call from a dear friend to say he and his wife had just been diagnosed with C-19. Although the friend had a cough he said the friend was doing OK. Got it from a family member? We don’t know.
Skip to yesterday and the friend is in ICU, and today I learned he’s on 100% oxygen. Vitals are OK but he has refused a ventilator if it comes to that. This is all in the span of less than a few days. His wife is at home and doing (obviously) better. I *think* she’s been able to visit but I’m not to sure about that. She has said she reads him texts from well-wishers but that may just be over the phone.
This shitty news is the backdrop against my family’s Xmas —- “way too close to home” I haven’t seen my dad, sister and their kids since this time last year, but they’re all headed this way today. We’re meeting in a rental house closer to Nashville. Ho, Ho, Ho
