During this unbelievably difficult time, Teddi Mellencamp is getting by with a little help from her friends … Kyle Richards and Tamra Judge specifically.
ICYMI, Teddi revealed that after weeks of headaches, doctors found tumors on her brain.ย Yesterday, she had surgery to get them removed.
Tamra asked for prayers for Teddi:
Tamra requested fans and followers “Join me in praying forย Teddi Mellencampย as she goes into surgery today. Please also pray over her beautiful kids.”
“Teddi Jo, I love you so much and canโt imagine my life without you. Youโre the little sister I never had and the best friend anyone could ask for. Sending all the love, positive vibes, and healing energy your way. โค๏ธ๐ย #prayercircle“

Ahead of Teddi’s surgery, Kyle sat at her bedside supporting her friend.
Joining Kyle was Morgan Wade, Teddi’s estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, and a few other close friends.
Teddi was in her hospital bed – with a freshly shaved head – acting silly with her friends. She revealed that her babies were on their way to see her.
John Mellencamp spoke about his daughter’s diagnosis:
Teddi posted her father’s wisdom to her IG story. “As my dad said this morning, ‘God only gives hard stuff to those of us who can handle it.'”
“It’s hard to say, but I have faith, amazing surgeons, and know everything will be ok.”
Teddi is thankful for the outpouring of love and support she’s getting:
โI 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.โย
โThank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.โ
