Jho suffered from severe asthma which led to cardiac arrest and hypoxemia. The latter is a condition that is the result of severe oxygen deprivation in the brain. It left her fighting for her life and bedridden for eight (8) months now.

According to Andrew, another thing that keeps on working everyday is the hope in the hearts of his children. He stressed that he does not want anyone to take away the hope from his kids that their mother is going to fully recover. He does not want his kids to experience the same pain and hole he got when his mother died when he was only 10 years old.
During the vlog interview, Andrew Schimmer revealed that their hospital bill surpassed P3 million already but he is not stopping until his wife is released from the hospital recovered. She is confined at St. Luke’s for eight months now.
