Appearing on SiriusXM’sJeff Lewis LiveThursday, theLove at First Liehost shared an update on her oldest daughter, 14-year-old Stella, who wasbriefly hospitalizedlast week, noting that she is “not great.”
“She went to the ER, now twice, and was diagnosed with a hemiplegic migraine,” Spelling explained, adding she wasn’t aware of the condition before it impacted her daughter. “One side of you goes numb, it almost kind of mimics what a stroke would be.”
Spelling, 49, said that in her daughter’s case, “Her left arm went completely numb, she couldn’t lift it. Then half of her throat, then her mouth — so it looked like she had had a stroke.”

Now that Stella’s feeling better, they’re following up to learn more about the condition. “They were able to break it each time, but she’s going to see a neurologist at Children’s Hospital L.A.”
