Television host Kris Aquino disclosed some of her treatments in the United States and revealed that her two sons tested positive for COVID-19.
Aquino revealed the information as she write an open letter to her late brother and former President Noynoy Aquino.
Aquino is battling three autoimmune conditions autoimmune thyroiditis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and Churg Strauss syndrome, collectively or EGPA. Aquino flew to Texas to get medical treatment.
“I had to do this corticosteroid challenge which unfortunately caused me to have unbelievable body pain,” Aquino said.
She also shared that she felt pain when she took the medicines.
“Normally my pain tolerance is impressive but this time bunso started sobbing. Then of course, my blood pressure went haywire,” she said.
The actress also said that her teo sons got infected with the virus.
“My instinct was to go and hug kuya but everyone told me I needed to leave immediately and move to a hotel with nurse and Bimb because I was severely immunocompromised and being positive could mean ICU for me,” she recalled.
“It was heartbreaking to leave kuya, I felt I was abandoning him in our time of need. That night nurse Christina came to our hotel and she gave all of us PCR tests. The results came out midnight of the 21st at that point we were all still negative,” she added.
“Since this was already your death anniversary, somehow I felt reassured knowing that the three of us would get through this new ordeal especially because you would never allow us to have a death date so close to yours. I even joked with you — I said, Noy you are super bida now because you’re the only one with mom and dad. If I die Bunso will of course get the majority of their attention and for sure you won’t like that,” the actress added.
