Selena Gomez gives emotional shout-out to 'kidney-donating' pal post transplant
Selena Gomez had a kidney transplant this summer and the
"blessed" singer couldn't help but share a heartfelt message for
those who helped her in the fight against Lupus, especially her best friend
Francia Raisa, who donated the organ.The 'It Ain't Me' singer opened up about
her surgery through a touching Instagram post, sharing a post-surgery picture
of herself and Raisa laying side-by-side in hospital while holding hands.
I'm
very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer
and questioning why I wasn't promoting my new music, which I was extremely
proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus
and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly
look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several
months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly
thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done
for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren't words to describe
how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice
by donating her kidney to me.
I
am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very
misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus
