Sister Wives daughter Ysabel Brown got some airtime in the past few seasons with discussions about her spine’s curvature and halting its progression. The offspring of Kody Brown and Christine Brown went with a holistic approach at first. The teenager followed a time-consuming daily exercise routine. But while it didn’t correct her scoliosis, it seemed to slow it for a while, so it didn’t get any worse.

Sister Wives: Long Journey for Ysabel Brown

This daughter from the Brown tribe knew she might face corrective surgery down the line, as did Kody and Christine. Well, the day came for that surgery. During the hiatus between the last season of Sister Wives and the new one in the works, that procedure took place.

Sister Wives mom, Christine Brown, didn’t tell her followers online that Ysabel was about to undergo surgery. But she hinted to it when she came out and asked for her fans’ help. She told fans she needed to raise $50,000 for one of her daughters. They were scheduled to have surgery. At the time, she never mentioned which daughter.

But she let the fans know the health insurance wouldn’t cover $50,000 of this surgery. So she asked her Sister Wives customer base to buy as much of the clothing brand she sells as their wallets could afford. She planned to put this money toward that copay.
