Teddi Mellencamp’s family shares update as she ‘continues to recover’ from brain surgery
Teddi Mellencamp has her family by her side as she “continues to recover” from brain surgery.
The 43-year-old “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star revealed in a Feb. 12 Instagram post that she was having two brain tumors surgically removed later that day.
On Feb. 17, Mellencamp’s estranged husband Edwin Arroyave took to his Instagram account to provide an update as Mellencamp’s recovery continues.

“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” Arroyave wrote in a post, which was also shared to his Instagram Stories.
“Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover,” he added in the brief statement.
Several hours later, Arroyave posted a selfie of him with two of his daughters — Bella, whom he shares with ex Christina Mecklenburg, and Slate, whom he shares with Mellencamp.
“On our way to visit Mom,” he captioned the photo.
Arroyave’s update comes five days after he shared a photo of him standing next to Mellencamp as she layed in her hospital bed.
“Lord, I lift up @teddimellencamp to You. You are the Great Healer, and I ask for Your healing touch upon her body,” he said of his wife, while sharing a biblical quote.
“Restore her strength, renew her spirit, and let her feel Your comforting presence. Grant her peace, hope, and full recovery. In Jesus’ name, Amen,” he continued.
Mellencamp, who met Arroyave in 2009 before marrying him two years later, filed for divorce in November amid rumors of infidelity. She listed their separation date as Oct. 20, according to Us Weekly.
