After appearing on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on her 53rd birthday, February 14, 2024, Kris Aquino took to Instagram to set things straight with everyone who follows her health journey.
She started by confirming that she is at high risk of going into a cardiac arrest.
Her caption, published as is, read: "Yes, because of Churg Strauss i now have cardiomyopathy.
"This means my heart muscles are having trouble pumping blood due to inflammation, and because of that inflammation, it’s exhausting my heart and causing it to begin to fail and ultimately, please pray with me- sana hindi tuluyang sumuko or mag CARDIAC ARREST."
Humbly asking for prayers, she continued, "Please help me pray for my doctors and my nurses so that God will continue to guide them as they try to heal me.
"I have always believed in sharing the TRUTH no matter how painful with all of you. Why? Because sinamahan nyo ako sa laban.
"Sana wag tayong sumuko sa ating pananampalataya na nakikinig ang Diyos sa mga Dasal ng buo ang tiwala sa Kanya."

HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE
Kris also sent a shout-out to her loved ones, and mentioned the possibility that this could be her "last birthday."
"Just in case this is the last birthday i get to celebrate here on earth, THANK YOU kuya [Joshua Aquino] & bimb [Bimby Aquino] for the most precious privilege of being chosen to be your mom.
"THANK YOU to my sisters for their love & generosity.
"THANK YOU to my small but very close circle of cousins & friends who have shared my life and their lives with me.
"THANK YOU to all of you for making all my childhood dreams come true."
She also asked prayers for "a few loved ones and dear friends," who are facing the same crippling circumstances as her.
"Pa birthday n’yo na please- i have a few loved ones and dear friends battling very difficult illnesses as well. PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM, too."
She ended her post with an encouraging lesson: "I still want to live, i know the odds are against me- dahil ang puso hindi pwedeng diktahan pero sana sa tulong ng dasal nyo mabigyan pa ko ng konting extension.
"YOU HAVE MY LOVE & ETERNAL GRATITUDE."
