Christine Brownis counting her blessings as she reflects on her daughter Truely’s health scare.

Truely, 12, faced kidney failure as a 3-year-old, Brown revealed in an Instagram post Tuesday. TheSister Wivesstar said that she spent “11 days in the hospital” with her daughter after Truely’s “kidneys shut down.” She recalled “wondering if I would go home, with or without her.”

Brown, 50, found two olddrawingsfrom that hospital stay nearly 10 years ago. Truely is “at the hospital with tubes connected to a dialysis machine,” and in the other, she is “healthy at home and going to Disneyland.”

Brown said she promised Truely that once “she was better and we got home, and she was healthy, we would go to Disneyland.”

“That was the day she started to get better. So glad I kept these pictures to remind me of miracles.#blessed#momlife#miracles#reminders,” Brown wrote in the caption.

Truely, who Brown shares with her ex-husbandKody Brown, is the youngest of the former couple’s five children:Aspyn, 27,Mykelti, 26,Paedon, 24,Gwendlyn, 20, andYsabel, 19.

Some of Kody’s children have said there are strains in their relationships with their father. Gwendlyn, who Christine and Kody share, opened up about it in a recent YouTube video:

“He really has changed,” Gwendlyn said of her dad. “The reason I think he started changing is because his kids used to be young and easily manipulated and I think he found it easier to talk to them [back then]. We weren’t as opinionated.”
