Kris Aquino in isolation to address declining health
Kris Aquino is currently in isolation due to her worsening immunity but said she refuses to give up on herself.
On Sunday, the TV personality posted a picture of herself in the operating room, revealing she had an ultrasound-guided PICC line insertion two weeks prior at the Makati Medical Center. In the caption, she thanked the hospital for taking care of her wellbeing.
"Exactly 2 weeks ago, [I] had an Ultrasound-guided PICC LINE INSERTION, the minimally invasive surgery was done in Makati Medical Center. I would like to thank everyone in MMC for their genuine concern for my safety & well-being while confined- from those in the OR, all the doctors & residents who were monitoring me, the nurses [on] the 9th floor, and the security team- MARAMING SALAMAT sa INYO!" Kris wrote.
She said she always tries her best "to highlight the positive because having 6 autoimmune conditions is depressing."
"Kahit gaano katapang ako, there are moments especially pag nagsabay sabay my unexplainable allergies, my lupus (rashes, fever like heat in my entire body, migraine) and rheumatoid arthritis flares (the worst, stabbing/crushing deep bone pain in my knees, hips, ankles) plus my high blood pressure (170/116); [I] ask myself KAYA KO PA BA," she noted.
Kris revealed that she has been in isolation due to her immunity dropping.
"During my hospitalization, my WBC dropped… [I] also had a bad allergic reaction to the last antibiotic [I] could still tolerate. What did that mean- wala na kong panlaban sa kahit anong viral or bacterial infection. I’m now in isolation. So many rules for family & friends na gusto akong dalawin. Yes, it’s lonely," she added.
However, the former Kris TV host said that she is trying to remain strong as she refuses to disappoint everyone who is praying for her.
"What keeps me going? I REFUSE TO DISAPPOINT ALL THOSE PRAYING FOR ME. Ayokong maisip nyo na binalewala ko yung time & effort ninyo. Because your compassion has deeply touched my heart. Kaya #bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban," Kris ended.
Last Oct. 20, Kris revealed getting a colon cancer scare. She noted that her mom Cory was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in March 2008 and that her grandmother had it too.
She also dispelled rumors of an outdoor wedding while confirming a new relationship. Aside from that, Kris hinted at an upcoming show, promising its launch before the year ends.
