Morgan Wade is sending a prayer to pal Teddi Mellencamp after her brain tumor surgery.
“We’re really blessed to have a bunch of people here with me tonight,” Wade, 30, said in the middle of her Tuesday, February 18, concert. “If you don’t mind, tonight when you leave here, say a prayer for my good friend Teddi Mellencamp. I went to visit her a little bit ago.”
In the video shared via Kyle Richards’ Instagram Story, Wade explained that Mellencamp, 43, had to have “emergency surgery on her brain to remove some tumors” about a week ago.
“She would be here tonight,” Wade said.
Mellencamp shared the news on February 12 that she had been experiencing “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks — and the pain became “unbearable,” requiring hospitalization.
“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months. Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today. The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Mellencamp wrote via Instagram at the time. “I am blessed to be surrounded by my 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.”
Hours later, Mellencamp shared a video via her Instagram Story of her friend shaving off her hair. “I’m gonna have this look on my bucket list,” Mellencamp quipped. “My best look. I hate to break it to my brother but once I’m allowed to wash my hair and it’s not all spiky, I think I’ve taken you for a run for your money, Hud. I’ll see you tomorrow and we’ll see who wore it best.”
In another Instagram Story, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum also revealed that Richards, 56, and Wade were present as she prepared for the operation — as was her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave. (Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave — with whom she shares daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, and son Cruz, 10 — in November 2024.)
Arroyave, for his part, has shared several updates on Mellencamp’s health after news broke of her battle.
“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” Arroyave, 47, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 17. “Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover.”
