Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade rushed to be by Teddi Mellencamp’s side after she announced she was undergoing surgery for multiple tumors in her brain.
“Yup, here we go!” Mellencamp said in a video with Richards and Wade inside of her hospital room Wednesday.
“We’re all getting ready. How many minutes? What’s the countdown?” she asked as she angled her camera toward the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and the singer.
Both Richards and Wade — who have denied dating despite romance rumors — waved at Mellencamp’s Instagram followers while the 56-year-old also flashed a smile.
Mellencamp, 43, was then told there were only “10 minutes” left before her surgery.
Richards opted for a casual ensemble while visiting Mellencamp at the hospital. She wore jeans, a zip-up jacket, a trucker hat and a surgical mask around her wrist.
The “Two Ts In A Pod” co-host filmed the Instagram Story from her hospital bed and was seen wearing a hospital gown moments before her surgery.
Mellencamp’s video comes moments after she took to Instagram to announce that after suffering from “severe and debilitating headaches” for “weeks” doctors discovered “multiple tumors” in her brain.
“Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization,” she wrote in the statement Wednesday.
“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.”
The Bravolebrity revealed that two of her tumors would be “surgically removed” Wednesday, while the “remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date.”
Mellencamp then expressed her gratitude for her “children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health.”
“Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey❤️,” she concluded the social media statement.
Tamra Judge — who co-hosts “Two Ts In A Pod” with Mellencamp — also addressed her friend’s health scare on Wednesday’s episode of their podcast.
“I just want our listeners to know that she will be taking a brief sabbatical to deal with some health stuff,” Judge said while holding back tears.
“I’ll allow Teddi to tell her story when she’s back. But you all know how much she loves this podcast and wants nothing more than for us to keep continue on recording.”
This is not the first time that Mellencamp has been open about her health scares, as she previously shared that she underwent 16 surgeries to have melanomas removed.
