Brie Bella and Nikki Bella announced on their Instagram accounts that their mother, Kathy Laurinaitis, is undergoing brain surgery today after a mass was found on her brain stem.

On the final episode of this season's Total Bellas reality series, Kathy stated to Nikki that she was suffering a bout of Bells Palsy. 

Brie wrote today that her mother did not actually have Bells Palsy but the symptoms were coming from the mass that was discovered, leading to today's surgery.

Kathy is married to WWE Producer John Laurinaitis.

Everyone at PWInsider.com sends our best wishes to the entire Bella/Laurinaitis family during this obviously trying time.

"Our Mama Bella, our Gigi, our Gato is about to head into brain surgery. I ask for so many prayers, so much light and love sent her way. Sadly they found what you can compare to a tumor on her brain stem that has been paralyzing her face. I have faith that the amazing doctors will do an incredible job and our Gigi will be on the road to recovery starting late today. She’s loved by so many of us and just pray that her road to recovery is exactly what we are hoping for so we can put two new grand babies in her arms soon. Love you SOOO much Mom! You have a big Bella Army out here praying for you!!"
