Dolphy's medical condition

I heard yesterday night from the news that comedy king Dolphy is now in critical condition and cannot talk, according to his son Eric Quizon. It was also disclosed by Quizon that his father has been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which hinders the flow of air to lungs. It is a condition that said to be permanent and maybe progressive over time. Quizon also said that Dolphy’s illness has developed into a toxic metabolic encephalopathy which could lead to sepsis or poisoning of the blood. He was diagnosed five years ago of COPD.
