And though yesterday went well Briana explained that there are no guarantees and how the infection “could always come back.”
This isn’t the first health crisis for Stella in her very young life. Back in September 2017, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com once again, Briana revealed that her daughter suffered from a heart condition. “she has holes in her heart. It’s been difficult dealing with Stella right now,” she said.
