Since then, she has had multiple surgeries, most recently in January, which entailed a three-week hospital stay.
Taylor put on a brave face as she addressed her daughter’s health journey.
But this TikTok made it clear that even with the support of her boyfriend Cory Wharton, 32, she was finding it difficult to get through it all.
