The alarming post followed an earlier update on November 19, when Buckingham shared that doctors suspected tuberculosis, septic pneumonia, or liver failure, along with a selfie showing him receiving treatment.

That update alone drew more than a million views and widespread concern.

Comments immediately flooded in from fans urging him to stay strong, praying for his recovery, and reminding him of the impact his work has had on their lives.

Buckingham, who has 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, has spoken in past videos about his journey from being an elementary school art teacher with a master’s degree to pursuing YouTube full-time.

Just days earlier, on November 10, he had reassured followers that he was temporarily out of the hospital and “stabilized,” saying he hoped to begin improving in the coming weeks. His sudden deterioration has left supporters stunned and hoping for better news.

As fans continue sending prayers and messages of support, Buckingham has not yet provided further details about his current condition.
