Ghana, listen up! JoJo Siwa, the 'Karma' singer, gave fans a big scare when she ended up in hospital just hours before a major performance at the Mall of America. But what happened?
The 'Excruciating Pain'
Siwa shared on TikTok that she had been experiencing severe stomach pain for days. She thought it might just be 'that time of the month' or cramps. However, on Friday morning, the pain became unbearable. She tried to sleep it off, but that didn't work. A bath made things even worse!
“I laid down, I closed my eyes, and I was like, 'I can't breathe,'” Siwa said.
Calling for Help
Her mom, Jessalynn Siwa, knew something was seriously wrong. JoJo is usually tough, so when she agreed to call 911, Jessalynn acted fast. An ambulance rushed JoJo to a Minnesota hospital.
What Was Wrong?
An ultrasound revealed that JoJo had a burst ovarian cyst. This caused bleeding into her stomach and was the source of the 'excruciating pain.' Despite the ordeal, JoJo was determined to perform.
- Ovarian cyst burst
- Bleeding into stomach
- Severe abdominal pain
She told hospital staff about her commitment to the fans waiting at the Mall of America. After receiving pain medication, JoJo felt much better and even joked about dancing in her hospital bed.
The Show Must Go On!
JoJo managed to perform as planned. She later updated her followers, saying she wasn't 100% yet but that doctors said the problem should resolve itself. She had a follow-up appointment scheduled.
So, there you have it! JoJo Siwa's hospital dash explained. She's a true performer, dedicated to her fans, even when facing a health emergency.
