“Julie we love you so much, we love you so much,” Brown then said with a laugh as the broadcast cut to her, “We all have those days.”

“I’m glad to share that my tests have all come back great. At this point, doctors think I had the beginnings of a stroke, but not a full stroke,” she wrote, “There are still lots of questions, and lots to follow up on, but the bottom line is I should be just fine.”
