Here’s an update about Kris Aquino.
In her latest Instagram post, Kris Aquino revealed that for a while, during her minor surgery, her lungs stopped functioning.
Actress Kris Aquino has been battling her multiple autoimmune diseases for many years now. She has many reasons not to give up, and she is thankful for the people who continue to love her and pray for her recovery.
She has 11 autoimmune disorders, and some of them are:
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
- EGPA (Eosinophilic granulomatosis)
- Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Polymyositis
- Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Recently, in an update, she reflected on her faith and life after her lungs stopped functioning during a minor procedure. According to Aquino, while undergoing a PICC line procedure, she stopped breathing, and she still hasn’t processed what had just happened.
“I haven’t fully processed what happened, it was supposed to be a minor PICC LINE procedure BUT there was a span of time totaling almost 2 minutes when my lung stopped functioning — I stopped breathing,” Aquino wrote.
Despite what happened, she remained grateful to her team of doctors and the medical staff for saving her life. She had an anesthesiologist, two surgeons, and a rheumatologist beside her. She woke up to the reassuring face of her rheumatologist, who was concerned for her throughout.
“In my post-op recovery room, it was future pediatrician/neurologist/or anesthesiologist Bimb’s kiss that made me realize we owe all of you my life — utang namin na buhay pa rin ako,” she expressed.
Aquino has been undergoing treatment for years as she continues to battle several autoimmune diseases. After spending time in the United States for medical care, she returned to the Philippines in 2024 and decided to continue her treatment here.
