Justice, 40, explained that Teddi, 43, “will share her journey when she is ready.”

“She is by far the strongest person I know,” she continued. “So many emotions as I travel home today but her village is the best one I’ve ever seen and I’m so grateful for them!  Your prayers are everything. Thank you .”

Justice shared the message shortly before Teddi’s estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, expressed his own gratitude to fans.

“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” he wrote in an Instagram post Monday. “Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover.”

Teddi, who posted several photos and videos prior to her surgery, has yet to address her condition post-op.

However, Arroyave, 47, has assured his followers that the “surgery went well.”

Teddi announced last Thursday that she would be undergoing emergency surgery to remove two tumors that doctors had recently found on her brain.

The “Two Ts in a Pod” co-host shared that she also had three smaller tumors that “will be dealt with via radiation at a later date.”

Teddi informed her followers that she went to the hospital after “dealing with severe and debilitating headaches” for “the last several weeks.”

The doctors discovered the tumors after giving her a CT scan and an MRI.

“Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey,” she concluded.

The former Bravolebrity continued keeping her fans in the loop by posting photos and videos of her friends and family members — including Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade and Arroyave with their kids — visiting her in the hospital before the surgery.
