Kim Chiu’s older sister Lakam opened up about her recent 18-day hospitalization and revealed that she underwent a “very critical stage” wherein her family had to make a “life-changing decision.”

Lakam disclosed this through an open letter in which she expressed her gratitude to those who helped her and prayed for her, as seen on her Instagram page on Friday, May 12.

“Dear family, friends [and] loved ones, first of all, I would like to say THANK YOU for all your intentions [and] most especially your prayers. I was discharged from the hospital on Friday, May 5, 2023—my 18th day of confinement,” she began.

“I was in a very critical stage for the first [five] days, unable to talk, hear and see. I couldn’t even imagine I was able to get through it,” she continued. “Being in this kind of situation is no joke. My family had to make a life changing decision without them knowing if I could make it or not.”

While Lakam did not state what her condition was, she thanked each of the medical staff who took care of her as well as her family and sister Kim, whose “positivity and strength” was one of the reasons Lakam was able to overcome her condition.
