Kris Aquino has opened up about the emotional toll her ongoing battle with autoimmune diseases has taken on her two sons — revealing that eldest son Joshua is “traumatised” by seeing her frail and attached to IV drips.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on August 11, the 54-year-old “Queen of All Media” explained why Josh was absent from her latest video update, which showed her preparing to move from a private beach resort — where she has been recovering for almost two months — to her family compound in Tarlac.
‘Kuya Is Traumatised’
“Since the deaths of his Lola Cory, Lola P, and tito Noy, seeing me frail, weak, often attached to my IV drip — kuya is traumatised, visibly shaking, repeating ‘mama get well, I love you…’ For now he’s living with my genuinely super loving cousin,” Kris shared.
She praised her younger son, 18-year-old Bimby, for his dedication, calling him “heaven’s gift” and “my optimistic adult who reminds me I should never surrender.”
Public Support Pours In
Kris once again asked fans to keep praying as she faces more tests and treatments in the coming weeks.
“After a few more scheduled tests & treatments, and my recuperation — Bimb & I are ready to reveal all & show you everything for the first time. PLEASE CONTINUE PRAYING kailangan na kailangan ko,” she wrote, thanking her doctors, nurses, and hospital staff at Makati Medical Center and St Luke’s BGC.
Messages of love and encouragement flooded her page from both fans and celebrities, including Aga Muhlach, Baron Geisler, Candy Pangilinan, Angeline Quinto, Melai Cantiveros, Arnold Clavio, and Susan Enriquez.
