SISTER Wives star Christine Brown revealed that her daughter Truely was hospitalized due to acute kidney failure and dehydration.
The reality TV star also announced in November of 2021, that her and Kody’s other daughter, Ysabel, was to undergo surgery for her scoliosis.
Who is Christine Brown?
Christine Brown is the wife of the Sister Wives patriarch, Kody Brown.
She is his third wife, as the two “spiritually married” in 1994.
The couple have six children together: Aspyn Kristine, Mykelti Ann, Gwendlyn, Ysabel Paige and Truely Grace and son Paedon Rex.
Christine shares Kody with Meri, Robyn and Janelle Brown as they have a polyamorous relationship.
What happened to Christine’s daughter Truely and when was she hospitalized?
Christine’s then-three-year-old daughter Truely had suffered from kidney problems.
Truely hospitalized in 2014 due to acute kidney failure and dehydration.
She initially didn’t respond to the treatment but was discharged 11 days after she showed signs of improvement.
Truely’s older sister, Ysabel, has her share of medical problems as well.
While also dealing with their split, Christine and Kody have to deal with when to schedule Ysabel’s surgery to correct her scoliosis.
On the Sunday, November 28 episode in 2021, Ysabel’s scoliosis condition was discussed.
Christine said on the episode, “We finally have an appointment for Ysabel for her surgery.”
She continued: “It’s about six weeks away. We found out that Ysabel had scoliosis when she was like 13 in middle school.”
“It’s been about four years now that she’s just been in so much pain. We finally have the due date,” Christine concluded.
Is Christine in medical debt?
Fans believe Christine is going through a financial rough patch, as she has previously asked her fans to purchase clothes from her LuLaRoe clothing.
She said in the clip: “What you guys are doing by helping me so much with my purchases is you are helping me get something done.
“One of my daughter’s needs a surgery. I need $50,000 for a down payment for the surgery. You guys are helping me make it happen. Thank you. $50,000 for a down was so daunting so I decided to just work hard.”
She continued: “We’re halfway there! I can’t thank you enough for all your purchases and you helping my family.
“I don’t know how we would be able to get the surgery she needs without LuLaRoe. I really appreciate it a lot, thank you!”
While Christine did not clarify which daughter needed surgery, fans believe it to be Ysabel, who suffers from scoliosis.
In May of 2020, Ysabel confirmed her scoliosis will be filmed for the upcoming season of Sister Wives.
When a fan asked if she underwent spinal surgery, Ysabel responded: “No ma’am but to get updates make sure you watch our show:)))”
Christine has also been charging $35 for fan video requests on Cameo in an effort to make ends meet.
When is Sister Wives back on?
The 16th season of Sister Wives premiered on November 21, 2021.
Despite publicly addressing her relationship, Christine returned for season 16 of Sister Wives and in the first episode said she didn’t want to make any “drastic decisions” about her marriage.
Christine’s sister-wife, Meri, told her she shouldn’t give up so quickly on her marriage to Kody.
“You didn’t put 30 years into this — 25, 28, wherever you are — to walk away,” Meri told Christine.
Are Christine Brown and Kody Brown together?
During the Sister Wives season 15 finale, fans witnessed Christine Brown reach her breaking point with the family when she announced she was moving back to Utah.
After breaking down in tears, she admitted to her fellow sister wife Meri Brown, “I can’t do marriage with Kody anymore,” later adding, “I don’t want to. … It’s not enough.”
In November of 2021, after much speculation, Christine finally revealed she left Kody following several tense months.
She has been open with fans following the split, admitting she has “good and bad” days.
She noted, however, that she feels “like a much better person” after calling it quits.
Christine sold her home in Arizona, moving into a $1.1M Utah duplex near her daughter.
Christine said she was living in a “whole new world” and hoped she could remain “friends” with her ex for the sake of their youngest child together, Truely, 11.
She continued: “Because we’ve been still real high communicating with each other and stuff. I mean good and bad days, don’t get me wrong, it’s been blah.”
“But we have a life still together after this because we have kids to raise.”
Back in October, The Celeb Report exclusively reported that the Sister Wives star had moved into a $1.1m Utah duplex after selling the Arizona home she once shared with her ex-husband for $700,000.
On Christine’s mortgage deed for her Arizona home, she listed herself as a “single woman.”
