"Sadly they found what you can compare to a tumor on her brain stem that has been paralyzing her face. I have faith that the amazing doctors will do an incredible job and our Gigi will be on the road to recovery starting late today."
"She's loved by so many of us and just pray that her road to recovery is exactly what we are hoping for so we can put two new grand babies in her arms soon," she continued. "Love you SOOO much Mom! You have a big Bella Army out here praying for you!! ❤️🙏🏼✨"
Brie echoed her sister's words and also shared more details about their mother's condition. The WWE star said doctors ruled out Bell's Palsy, however, the mass on her brain stem required surgery.
"Couldn't sleep because I was praying all night," Brie added. "She's a strong one and I know all her angels will be with her. #BellaArmy send Mama Bella all the prayers and love today 💛🙏🏼 Love you Mom @kathylaurinaitis"
