TikTok star Bella "Bella Brave" Thomson, who has shared her medical journey with millions, is once again receiving the public’s support after developing a serious infection in her lungs.
Bella’s mother, Kyla, shared an update Wednesday on her daughter’s stay at the SickKids Hospital in Toronto.
“There has been a rapid fibrosis like deterioration of Bella’s lungs. They believe it could be an immune response,” she explained.
“Bella is in a medically induced coma. She’s stable and that in itself is the improvement for now.”
Thomson was born with a mutation of three rare diseases that’s left her with no immune system. In late 2023, Bella received a life-saving bowel transplant and spent four months recovering in hospital.
The 10-year-old’s latest medical battle follows an incident in March that saw her hospitalized in Saskatoon.
“Lyle and I talk to her, I play music for her and we are reading her all the cards, letters and messages you’ve all sent,” the message continued.
