COVID-19 Victim with Mean Green Ties

[UNT 90 Grad]

My cousin is in the hospital on a ventilator fighting for his life against COVID-19.   A couple of you may have met him several years back when he used to tailgate with me.  He and his wife were football season ticket holders when one of their sons was in the Green Brigade.  They kept their season tickets but then discontinued when my  cousin was battling pulmonary fibrosis, resulting in a double lung transplant.

There is an effort underway to get COVID-19 survivors to donate plasma.  There is belief that their plasma can help those that are struggling with the virus.  If you know of any survivors, please pass the Facebook group below on to them.  It was put together by my cousin’s father-in-law.  Prayers are welcomed as well.

As Echoed by others, our thoughts and prayers go out to your family along with your cousin's family as well. To most Covid 19 resembles the flu in many ways, so great majority of infected patients will recover. To the old, folks with Diabetes, lung, heart or other issues it's very serious.

The world lost the world's number 1 conjoined twin surgeon to Covid-19 yesterday. The doctor was 73 Yrs. old.

Fox 4 did an article on my cousin today:

He’s a fighter and his wife is incredibly strong too. More prayers for a donor coming y’all’s way and nothing but good vibes to you and yours.

I want to thank you all for your prayers for my cousin.  Prayer accomplishes amazing things. 
 

Quick update:  Earlier in the week they successfully took my cousin off the ventilator.  I’m told by a doctor friend that only about 50% or so of people put on a ventilator are able to get off of it.  After about 3 weeks in ICU, he was moved to a rehab room on Thursday.  Not out of the woods yet, but things definitely moving in the right direction. 
 

Thanks again.

Thank you for the update. I have wondered how he was doing. Praise God! We will keep praying.
