In an Instagram post, Kris gave fans and followers an update about her health condition.

 

“I needed to use a filter because my closest friends, my doctors, and family—all had the same reaction—why do the strangest, mysterious medical mishaps not caused by man or by the machine implanted very near my heart,” she wrote.

“Pwede bang makiusap ulit? Alam ko ang kulit ko na (Can I make another request? I know I’m being a bit persistent), but at 9 AM tomorrow, I will be brought down for the first of 2 surgical procedures,” she added.

She also asked for prayers for her medical team: “Please pray for my surgeons and cardio-interventionists, all the residents and fellows, all the nurses and all the staff in the OR, and the Cardio OR. I thank the Holy Spirit and the birthday Girl Mama Mary for keeping my Survival Instinct Sharp.”

Apart from giving a health update, the television personality recalled a personal update during her confinement.

The 54-year-old host and actress shared that a person from her past unexpectedly visited and reached out to apologize via text message.

“Someone I loved and broke my heart because he left me when my health issues were getting worse, I don’t know how he knew where to find me, but about 10 days ago, he surprised me. He said he wanted to see how I was, and a few days after via text, he apologized several times. We know why we aren’t meant for each other because mine is a lifelong battle; autoimmune has no cure, his fulfillment comes from working with communities and going all over the Philippines,” she opened up.

She also mentioned meeting a “brilliant, brave, and reliable” doctor whom she did not name in her post.

“He brings knowledge and genuine wisdom, plus he shares the same Chinese Astrological sign as my dad & mom…I shared my personal life, but with no names because that’s how it will be,” she shared.

In late August, she shared another health update after finding out something “alarming” in her blood panel results.

“Please pray for all my doctors, those assisting them in the OR, all the nurses (especially mine), and technicians. Wag sana kayo sumuko sa pagdasal dahil kumukuha ako ng lakas galing sa kabutihang loob ninyo (I hope you don’t give up on praying because I draw strength from your kindness) #pleasewagsumuko #tuloyparinanglaban,” she wrote in her post.
