A CT scan revealed bleeding on the brain from a blockage in a shunt he had put in 30 years ago.
Now the retiree can't walk and can't remember, and his family are battling to get him a medical evacuation, which they say will cost $100,000.
"I'm just trying to do everything I can but I just don't know what else I can do to get him back," daughter Coby Pages-Oliver said. Nine
The family says medics in the Philippines can't help.
"I'm just trying to do everything I can but I just don't know what else I can do to get him back," daughter Coby Pages-Oliver said.
"I don't want him to think we don't care if he's just left over there by himself.
"I FaceTimed him and he thought I was my sister, he's very delirious and doesn't know what's going on.
"He's deteriorating quickly and it's his health, it might be fatal."
