CELEBRITIES WHO WERE HOSPITALIZED THIS 2023:

She shared in her post on social media then, “Just as I thought August was about to end quietly, I had to spend the last week of the month in fear and found myself asking myself so many why's.

“Health is truly wealth. Nothing else matters more than that. Feeling bad I terrified my kids for a while. Mom's really don't have the right to get sick. Single Mom's have to stay in their best form ALWAYS. But I'm good now, much better, not 100 percent yet but definitely a wake up call for all of us in the family.
