10-Year-Old TikToker Bella Brave Placed in Medically Induced Coma

Bella Brave's family is asking for prayers after she recently was intubated and placed in a medically induced coma.

The young TikToker -- whose real name is Bella Thomson -- amassed millions of followers on the social media app for documenting her struggles with immunodeficiencies and Hirschsprung’s disease, a congenital condition that causes intestinal and bowel issues, according to the Cleveland Clinic. "Bella is stable & intubated in the ICU," Kyla wrote, adding that doctors believe her infection may stem from Bronchiolitis Obliterans, also known as "popcorn lung." The one option they have left to help her lungs work again will be the large dose steroids," she wrote in an update on Wednesday morning.
