Isabel on her dad who is in coma for two months now: "Yes, we are praying for a miracle. Gusto namin na madugtungan pa ang buhay ni Dad kung pagbibigyan kami ni Lord. Pero kung gusto ni Lord na kunin na si Dad, wala na kaming magagawa. Masakit pero kailangan tanggapin namin iyon."

Hindi makikita sa mukha ni Isabel Oli ang stress at ang matinding pag-aalala. Ayaw kasing ipahalata ng aktres na dumadaan sa isang matinding krisis ang kanyang pamilya.

Dalawang buwan nang comatose ang 74-year-old dad ni Isabel na si George Daytia dahil sa malubhang sakit nito.

Ayon kay Isabel, hindi nila alam kung kailan magigising ang kanyang ama, o baka hindi na raw ito gumising pa.

Pero hindi raw sila tumitigil sa pagdarasal at sa paghingi ng milagro.

CEREBRAL DEGENERATION. Apat na taon nang may sakit ang ama ni Isabel. Na-diagnose ito na may "cerebral degeneration."

Tanggap na ng pamilya ni Isabel na walang gamot para sa sakit ng kanyang ama.

Ayon sa website na www.steadyhealth.com: "Cerebral Degeneration is a disease process in which neurons in the cerebellum deteriorate and die. Cerebellar degeneration is most often the result of inherited genetic mutations that alter the normal production of specific proteins that are necessary for the survival of neurons. This cerebral degeneration is also manifested by somewhat greater neuropsychiatric features than Alzheimer's with more prominent hallucinations. Diseases that cause cerebellar degeneration can also involve areas of the brain that connect the cerebellum to the spinal cord."

Naikuwento ni Isabel sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), during her signing contract for Viva Artists Agency (VAA) last October 7 sa Viva Entertainment Office, na handa na ang kanyang pamilya sa anumang pwedeng mangyari sa kanyang ama.

Aniya, "I try not to be affected lalo na kapag may work ako.

"Nagpapasalamat nga ako sa Viva Artists Agency at sa bago kong manager na si Tita Becky [Aguila] dahil sila na ang hahawak sa career ko.

"But I am also grateful sa GMA-7 because even if I am no longer with GMA Artist Center, they still offered me a network contract kaya may mga shows pa akong gagawin sa kanila.

"Every Sunday, I host Party Pilipinas, at nasa cast din ako ng Daldalita with Jillian Ward."

Sabi pa ni Isabel, labas-pasok ang kanyang ama sa ospital noon, pero ngayon ay sa bahay na lang daw nila ito inaalagaan.

"Hindi basta-basta ang ginastos namin for my dad for the past years."

"Noong nasa ospital siya, lagi siyang nasa intensive care unit. Ngayon, sa house na lang siya and we hired a nurse na nag-aasikaso sa kanya.
