ACTRESS-TV host Kris Aquino revealed that she briefly stopped breathing during what was supposed to be a minor medical procedure, prompting renewed calls from supporters for prayers for her recovery.
In a social media post, Kris said the incident happened during a PICC line procedure, when her lungs stopped functioning for a total span of nearly two minutes.
“Thank you for continuing to pray for me to get better, for having FAITH that God will make all things possible,” Kris wrote. “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.”
She credited her medical team for responding swiftly and effectively. “I credit my anesthesiologist, my two surgeons, and as soon as I awakened—the reassuring face of my rheumatologist whose concern & love I felt,” she said.
Kris added that her son Bimby’s presence after the procedure deeply affected her. “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 also expressed gratitude for divine guidance during the operation, saying, “The Holy Spirit guided my doctors and everyone in the OR.”
