"The goal is to bring down the oxygen levels needed so I can be discharged," he said. "But the demand got increased and got visited by the ICU doctor saying that if the levels don’t go down, they will have to transfer me to the ICU.  That’s one bit of news I don’t want to hear."

He added, "I don’t know where this will all lead, but yes, I am extremely grateful for prayers and well wishes. Especially for my wife."

Mei-ling, his wife, was admitted in the ICU and was still on the ventilator, Fuentes said.

"She is still on a ventilator because she is so sick - the sickest one in the ICU right now. They are working on her so hard but can’t assure me of positive improvement," he said. "MY HEART IS CRYING AND BREAKING!!! And my soul feels so weary! LORD, IF EVER SHE NEEDS YOU, SHE NEEDS YOU BADLY. RIGHT NOW!"

In a separate post, Fuentes wrote a heart-breaking message for his wife.

"Sweetie, I know how difficult this must be for you. You definitely are the anchor of the family. But the virus has stolen life from us," he wrote. "IF you feel that you don’t want to fight this thing anymore, just “whisper” in my spirit and we can both go home together. Without you, my life is meaningless."

He added, "We’ve lived a full life - 42 years of God’s amazing grace. My only regret is I didn’t treat you much better than you deserve. That’s on me. But through the years one thing became increasingly clear: You are definitely God’s gift to me."

Fuentes moved to Canada with his family in the 1990s. —Kaela Malig/JCB, GMA News
