Kris Aquino spent New Year’s Eve at the hospital as son Bimby had to be admitted because of a high fever. Son Josh was also with them.

Bimb had the stomach flu, had to be admitted last night, his fever was 40. I still have a bad cough & cold. Kuya’s being good & keeping his brother company. Not an ideal start to 2017 BUT at least we’re together. Again, thank you to Dr. @ayenuguid.
