The 74-year-old Mink has been in the intensive unit at Straub Clinic & Hospital since Aug. 31 with viral pneumonia stemming from a case of chickenpox.

When did she catch chickenpox? At that age isn't it rare? I did read if you get it as an adult it can be much more serious.

Getting chicken pox as an adult is very dangerous to your health. Serious long term reductions in health and ability or death are not uncommon outcomes.
