LA MARQUE, Texas -- A husband and wife who didn't trust the COVID-19 vaccine changed their minds when they ended up in the ICU.

By that point it was too late for vaccination - and now they are begging relatives to make sure their children get their shots.

Lydia Rodriguez and her husband Lawrence, of La Marque, Texas, were both admitted to the hospital nearly three weeks ago with the virus, family members say.

"We've been told they are very, very, very, very sick is what the doctor told us," said her cousin, Dottie Jones. "And if they do survive, it's going to be a long, long road."
