Influencer Isabel Veloso Intubated in ICU After Acute Respiratory Crisis

Her husband says excess magnesium in her blood precipitated the emergency during post-transplant recovery.

Overview

  • Veloso, 19, was admitted to intensive care and intubated after a sudden decline overnight, according to her husband, Lucas Borbas.
  • Borbas reported that tests showed hypermagnesemia and that she subsequently stopped breathing and lost oxygen saturation.
  • She underwent a bone marrow transplant in October with her father as the donor and had been documenting her recovery.
  • Veloso was discharged on November 10 and was slated for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy before the acute episode, her husband said.
  • Updates have come from family posts on Instagram, including a plea for prayers from her father, with no separate hospital statement cited.
