John Regala, naka-confine na sa ospital

By Cherry Sun

Kasalukuyang nasa ospital ngayon si John Regala upang sumailalim sa iba't ibang tests at treatment para sa kanyang iniindang sakit na liver cirrhosis at iba pang komplikasyon.

Bago magtapos ang Hulyo, namataan ng isang netizen si John na nasa gilid ng kalsada sa Pasay City. Ang dating action star ay namamayat at humihingi ng tulong.

Ayon sa ulat sa 24 Oras, maliban sa kanyang matinding sakit ay may problema rin siya sa pera at pati na sa kanyang pamilya.

Sumaklolo kay John sina Nadia Montenegro, Chuckie Dreyfus at pati na ang entertainment writer na si Aster Amoyo upang mapagamot ito. Binisita rin ni Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) chairperson Liza Diño-Seguerra ang dating aktor.

Sa kabila ng mga tinanggap na atensyon at tulong, hindi pa rin tapos ang kalbaryo ni John.

Ayon sa update na ibinahagi ni Nadia noong Lunes, August 3, nakaramdan daw ng matinding pananakit sa katawan ang dating aktor kaya't dinala na siya sa ospital.

Ayon kay Nadia, “John's recent blood chem results have come out and shows that his creatinine levels and liver functions are very bad. The swelling of his feet is also caused by his liver's lack of function. He was brought to the hospital and is currently in confinement. He is scheduled for more laboratory tests, as well as ultrasound. In addition, John was also checked for COVID-19 in the hospital via rapid test to ensure his safety and the safety of those caring for him.

“Currently, John is being monitored closely and being given the necessary medical care he desperately needs.”

Nitong Miyerkules, August 5, nang hapon, dinala na raw si John sa National Kidney Transplant Insitute (NKTI). Ani Nadia, ang ibang health complications ng dating aktor ang lalong nagpapahirap kaya't hindi ganoon kasimple na bigyan siya ng gamot.

Sambit niya, “He will undergo a series of necessary tests and treatments which are urgently needed. John is currently confined there and receiving utmost care.

“John is still suffering from a lot of pain due to his complications. Medication cannot be administered freely because of the severe deterioration of his liver and kidneys. We need to wait until all his test results have come out before doctors can determine their next steps.”

Nagbukas na rin ng crowdfunding page (https://bit.ly/helpjohnregala) sina Nadia at Aster para sa mga nais magbigay ng donasyon at suporta sa pagpapagaling ni John.
