“This is my ‘out of office’ message. Turns out I had to have surgery today because I had a massive tear in my retina and retina detachment. I am home resting for a while. Very grateful to my doctors, prayers of good friends and my husband @feldmike who has swooped in like a superhero,” she wrote on Instagram on Thursday (December 12) along with a note from her daughter that says “nobody can come into my mommy’s room.”

“A week ago I was worried about having to have surgery and got this text from my mom. It was two days before Charley’s bday. Mom perspectives are the best perspectives. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and good wishes. Things are looking up! I mean I’m not (looking up), but things are ❤️❤️❤️. Hope to SEE everybody soon!!” she added a day later on Friday (December 13).

We are wishing Savannah a speedy recovery!
