Surprise! Selena Gomez Had a Kidney Transplant
So fans were starting to wonder why Selena Gomez wasn't out promoting her new music this Summer. No need to wonder anymore because Selena dropped some huge news while we were all sleeping via her Instagram account.
It's no secret that she's been battling lupus for the past few years. She's even had some pretty bad flare ups too. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that makes your immune system attack your organs. It can focus on attacking certain systems like joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.
And her best friend was the donor to provide the kidney to Selena! What an great story!
I'm shocked that she was able to have this surgery without anyone letting it get out to the public.
As She mentions in her Insta caption, "Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith." Hopefully Selena's celebrity status can help get more attention and research on helping those battling Lupus.
