In a lengthy social media post, Wendy opened up about a difficult and emotional night inside the hospital after Seth became overwhelmed upon learning that he might still need to eat only very small portions of food even after being allowed to eat again.
The actress shared that Seth asked her a heartbreaking question about whether he could already eat normally once doctors finally allowed him to have food again.
“Mommy kapag ba kumain na ko pwede na marami o kailangan 40ml lang din every 3 hours?” Seth reportedly asked.

Wendy explained to her son that his intestines and stomach might still need time to adjust after surgery and that he could possibly remain on limited food portions for another week.
Her answer immediately caused Seth to break down emotionally.
“Ayoko na! Gusto ko pag kumain marami na! Kung kakain tapos sobra konti pa din ayaw ko na,” Wendy recalled Seth crying while hiding under the sheets.
The actress admitted that seeing her son emotionally exhausted from the long recovery process deeply broke her heart.
According to Wendy, Seth became even more emotional as he remembered moments before his surgery when he used to refuse food he did not like.
“Naaalala ko tuloy un nga time na ayaw ko kumain pag di ko gusto yun food,” Seth reportedly said while crying.
Wendy said she tried comforting him by repeatedly assuring him that the difficult phase would soon pass. However, when nothing seemed to calm him down, she decided to simply let him express his frustrations and emotions.
The actress later encouraged Seth to pray and reminded him that the doctors’ plans could still change.
“Hindi pa naman un sigurado. Malay mo bukas sabihin pwede na pala marami. Baka mali ako. Mag-pray tayo,” Wendy told him.
The emotional moment became even more painful for Wendy when Seth told her that even blowing his nose hurt because of his stitches.
“I just kept hugging him. It was really heartbreaking for me,” Wendy shared.
Despite the difficult night, Wendy revealed that Seth eventually felt better and even stayed awake talking about the different ways salmon could be cooked once he could finally eat properly again.
The following day then brought joyful news for the family.
According to Wendy, Seth’s doctor informed them that he could already begin eating soft food such as sopas and lugaw, and that he was also finally allowed to drink water and milk freely.
The actress said Seth became extremely happy upon hearing the update.
“Mommy sinagot ni Lord ang iyak ko sa kanya!” Seth reportedly exclaimed.
Wendy then ended her post by expressing gratitude to God and quoting a Bible verse that gave them comfort throughout Seth’s recovery journey.
“Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.”
Over the past several days, Wendy has consistently shared honest and emotional updates about Seth’s healing journey, drawing sympathy and encouragement from supporters online.
