Fans were shocked to learn that Selena Gomez had undergone a kidney transplant over the summer and that her friend Francia Raisa had donated the kidney. Selena's family had been going through an ordeal without fans knowing it was even happening, but this week, Selena's mom opened up about what it was like.

Selena Gomez's mom opened up about the singer's kidney transplant on Monday, September 18. Mandy Teefey shared an emotional message about the experience on her production company's Instagram page.
"This picture is one of the most breathtaking images that will live with me forever," she captioned a pic of her daughter and actress 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."
"I am pretty sure I am banned from that hospital," she continued. "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."
As previously reported, Raisa, 29, donated her kidney to Gomez, 25. The "Fetish" singer revealed earlier this month that she underwent an operation over the summer.
