Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey,
opened up in an emotional Instagram post about
the kidney transplant that saved her pop-star daughter’s life.
Mandy, 41, shared the same photo
that Selena shared last week of her and
BFF Francia Raisa from their hospital beds.
She
captioned the photo, “This picture is one of the most breathtaking
images that will live with me forever. For all those moments of not knowing if
we were going up or going down, I can always come back to this picture and know
we can always make it back up. As a mother I was helpless, scared and all I
could do was pray for both of them, Francia’s beautiful family. I am pretty
sure I am banned from that hospital. Mama Bear was in high gear. Selena gained
a kidney, I was able to keep my little girl, but I also gained another
daughter….thank you to everyone who was there for Sel, Francia and our
families. We survived from all the love, prayers and God.”
