Actress and TV host Kris Aquino revealed that she stopped breathing during the procedure, prompting immediate action from her medical team. While the situation was eventually stabilized, the incident was terrifying in its suddenness.
A procedure expected to be simple turned into a moment that underscored just how vulnerable the human body can be, particularly for someone whose health has already been tested repeatedly.
On Instagram, Kris posted the following:
“THANK YOU for continuing to pray for me to get better, for having FAITH that God will make all things possible. 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.
I credit my anesthesiologist, my 2 surgeons, and as soon as i awakened- the reassuring face of my rheumatologist whose concern & love i felt. 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, the Holy Spirit guided my doctors and everyone in the OR…as the song lyrics say:
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be…”
This latest scare was not just a medical emergency; it was an emotional one. For her family, especially her sons, it was another reminder of how quickly everything can change. For fans who have followed her story for decades, it was a moment that brought collective worry, prayers, and quiet reflection.
