Her grandchildren are asking for prayers.

Veteran actress Amalia Fuentes suffered an ishemic stroke a month ago while she was on vacation in South Korea.

Through a statement, her grandchildren Alyanna, Alfonso and Alissa Martinez confirmed the sad news, saying Fuentes spent three weeks in a hospital in Seoul.

“She was discovered by her friend in her hotel room and was immediately rushed to a hospital where she was placed in intensive care unit,” the statement reads.

Fuentes finally flew home last Oct 27 and was brought straight to a hospital. “She hopefully can be discharged in two weeks,” the statement continues.

According to ABS-CBNnews.com, Fuentes will continue her recuperation at home, after which she will undergo extensive therapy.

“We her grandchildren, together with the rest of the Muhlach family appeal to her friends, fans, and the general public for prayers for her immediate and full recovery. We love her dearly,” the statement read.
