Comedian Gil Morales, popularly known as Ate Gay, remains in critical condition and is still relying on life support following a septic shock and stroke, according to the latest medical update released by his family on Friday, October 30.
In a statement, his family revealed that while Ate Gay has overcome the initial septic shock, he suffered damage to the right side of his brain after experiencing a stroke on Thursday, October 29.
The comedian was admitted to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa City on October 17, just two days after his living funeral was held in Biñan, Laguna.
He remains confined in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, where medical professionals continue to closely monitor his condition.
Amid mounting medical expenses, his family had considered transferring him to another hospital. However, doctors advised against the move due to the potential risks to his already critical condition.
The family has since renewed its appeal for financial assistance from the public and government agencies to help shoulder the comedian’s continuing medical expenses.
Despite the difficult situation, his loved ones remain hopeful and are asking the public to continue praying for Ate Gay’s recovery.
