Marjorie asked for prayers last week after her father fell ill last week during his birthday celebration.

“Right after the blowing of the candles on his cake, he took a nap and fell very ill. My siblings and I rushed him to the nearest hospital, I could say it say it was the scariest time for us all,” Marjorie wrote in a lengthy post.

“After that day, it’s been a series of ambulance transfers, family meetings, nonstop praying, and big family gatherings at the ICU waiting area,” Marjorie wrote on her Instagram account last week,” she added.

Exactly one week ago today, we were celebrating my Dad’s 82nd birthday over lunch in my house. Right after the blowing of the candles on his cake, he took a nap and fell very ill. My siblings and I rushed him to the nearest hospital, i could say it say it was the scariest time for us all. After that day, its been a series of ambulance transfer, family meetings, non stop praying, and big family gatherings at the ICU waiting area. All throughout this ordeal, a lot of love and support has been shown to us, most especially to our wonderful Dad.Im just feeling sad today, realizing its been a week, and I guess we are all emotionally and physically tired, but our faith, hope and unity as a family is stronger than ever. May I kindly ask for more prayers for our Dad. That he gets better soon. And that God willing, we get to spend more birthdays with him❤️??❤️
