Texts from Connie’s Mom, Day One
10:00 pm
Connie isn’t doing
well, so they’ve admitted her
to COVID unit. More soon.
10:10 pm
Her temp still too high.
Send this message on to the
prayer group. Pray!
10:36 pm
Doc just here and
he is worried about her O2
levels. Ventilator
10:36 pm
Likely. No, don’t know
What is going on with Caleb.
He’s home alone sick
10:36 pm
But still better than
His sister. Trying not to blame him
But impossible.
10:58 pm
Connie finally stable
No ventilator yet. Tell Maddie
I think all will be well.
11:06 pm
Good night. More tomorrow.
Texts from Connie’s Mom, Day Two
9:26 am
No sleep last night.
Low O2 alarm kept going off
But Connie still alive.
4:15 pm
Doc says she is
Here for the long haul.
And so am I.
Texts from Connie’s Mom, Day Three
1:15 pm
Bone tired. Hungry.
No change for Connie. Maybe
That is good?
6:32 pm
Have not talked
To Caleb in three days.
Could you check on him?
