Narrative:
Aircraft X lost pressurization and diverted to ZZZ while the aircraft was northwest of the oom VOR. Approach contacted me and coordinated on a couple of occasions to arrange the aircrafts decent to ZZZ. Aircraft Y was pointed out to me by approach descending to 080 southwest bound and deviating around weather. The aircraft were on course to merge but were separated by 1000 feet. I called traffic to aircraft X for aircraft Y 1000 feet above. As I watched aircraft Y deviate further into my airspace I contacted approach and asked if they wanted to put the aircraft on my frequency; so I could descend and turn the aircraft for [their destination]. They told me the aircraft was already talking to [another] approach. After their courses were diverging aircraft Y began to deviate farther south. Then the aircraft began a descent. Shortly after this the controller at [the next approach facility] called and apologized saying he didn't realize the aircraft was going to deviate so far and told me aircraft Y was on a 220 heading. I then called the traffic again to aircraft X; however I failed to announce traffic alert. The aircraft came to within 4.45 mi of each other.I should have made my traffic call a traffic alert.

Title: ZID Center Controller reported they approved a point out for an aircraft deviating for weather then allowed another aircraft they were working to fly into confliction with the pointed out aircraft.
