Apart from the infected lungs and pain, Lahbati said her mother was running a fever and had difficulty in breathing.

“She is currently in the ICU… Lord please heal her. Please,” she beseeched.

According to Lahbati on Dec. 18, her mother almost drowned and vomited blood while island-hopping in Siargao with her father.

“The currents were too strong and she drowned… my dad saved her but she still lost a lot of blood and was unconscious,” Lahbati said then. “They had to fight the current to get to the boat.”

Lahbati’s mother is currently in St. Luke’s Medical Center, as per her latest update.  /ra
