It's a scary situation for any parent.
Selena Gomez's mom Mandy Teefey opened up about her daughter's recent kidney transplant on Instagram, and she sounded just as scared as any mother would be when their child goes through something health-related.
"This picture is one of the most breathtaking images that will live with me forever," she captioned a pic of the "Come & Get It" songstress with her donor Francia Raisa in their hospital beds.
"For all those moments of not knowing if we were going up or going down, I can always come back to this picture and know we can always make it back up. As a mother I was helpless, scared and all I could do was pray for both of them, Francia's beautiful family," she added.
"I am pretty sure I am banned from that hospital. Mama Bear was in high gear. Selena gained a kidney, I was able to keep my little girl, but I also gained another daughter ... thank you to everyone who was there for Sel, Francia and our families. We survived from all the love, prayers and God," she continued.
SG is already on the mend and back to work, though! In fact, she's busier than ever, as she just signed on to a partnership with Puma.
"Puma has changed the game when it comes to the mash-up of athletic wear and fashion. It’s amazing to see this influence on style and culture and I’m excited to be a part of it. I am hoping that we can create something special together. We already have some really cool projects in the works,†she said in a statement.
Nothing can stop her!
