Ron Jenkins / Getty Images "As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!" she wrote on Instagram on September 28.

With this in mind, fans were super concerned for Dolly - whose husband of over 60 years, Carl Thomas Dean, sadly died earlier this year - when her sister Freida said that she was "up all night praying" for her recovery. Terry Wyatt / Getty Images "Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly," Freida wrote, per People. "Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She's strong, she's loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she's going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!" Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images Now, Freida has issued another statement clarifying that she "didn't mean to scare anyone." "I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly," she wrote, per People. "She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference."
