Hi,
One of my oldest friends has been in hospital for a few weeks and she last messaged me 12 days ago telling me she had been taken down to ICU. I haven’t heard from her since.
I managed to get a reply from her brother last week who let me know she is in an induced coma and is very unwell, I’ve heard nothing since (I completely understand, I dont even know her brother and appreciated his message).
I can’t stop worrying about how she is. I thought about phoning the hospital but presume they won’t tell me anything as I’m not a relative?
I wonder if I could ring the hospital and ask them to pass on a message to any relative who may be able to update me, or would that be selfish as they have enough on their plate right now.
This is a friend that I see often and have spoken to multiple times daily without fail for the last 20 years.
She developed ascites due to liver damage which needed to be drained which is why she was in hospital in the first place, she had improved and was expected to be discharged the following week, but the day before she was admitted to ICU she developed a cough out of nowhere which required oxygen and then within hours she was in ICU.

I would message her brother again, maybe something open like hope she doing better and if you can let her know your thinking of her. Leaving it open to being ignored or responded to
