FREMONT, Neb. - A 79-year-old woman who contracted COVID-19 and suffered a broken arm ultimately found the silver lining in her misfortune: a reunion with her long-lost sibling.
Doris Crippen thought she had come down with the flu in May. Feeling weak, she fell and broke her arm — which sent her to a hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.
Crippen learned there that she actually had COVID-19, and she spent weeks at the hospital recovering.After being discharged, Crippen went to a rehab facility in Omaha.
