She is in the midst of a terrifying battle with Lyme disease.

But Yolanda Foster wasn't about to miss being at her daughter Bella Hadid's hospital bedside when the teen needed to get her tonsils out.

The 51-year-old shared a photo to Instagram which showed her tenderly planting a kiss on Bella's forehead before she was taken away for the procedure.

'No place I would rather be then right by your side my love @bellahadid #ByeByeTonsils #HealthIsYourWealth,' Yolanda captioned the shot.

Bella wore a hospital gown and could be seen grinning as she received a kiss from her mother, while lying in a gurney with an IV in one arm and a blood pressure cuff on the other.

The 18-year-old also posted a photo to Instagram before the surgery, in which she and Yolanda posed with the doctor.

Joking about the fact that they all looked so jolly, Bella wrote: 'Why are we all smiling? see you later tonsils!!!!!'

Bella's big sister and fellow model Gigi Hadid was not able to be there for moral support, as she is currently in New York.

Just a day earlier, Yolanda - who has been documenting her fight against Lyme disease and raising awareness about the illness on social media - shared a photo of herself receiving treatment in a hyperbaric chamber.

Last week, it was Bella's turn to take care of her mother, and the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star shared a selfie which showed the pair in matching bathrobes, while Bella wore a face mask.

'Life isn't perfect but these moments are....... Thank you for loving me the way that you do @bellahadid #PerfectSundayAfternoon #MyGuidingLight #IFeelBlessed,' she captioned the sweet photo.

Yolanda was diagnosed with the debilitating illness in 2012, and revealed in January that she has lost the ability to read or write.

The reality star, who is determined to find a cure for Lyme disease, resignedly told the August issue of W magazine: 'I had much more glamorous plans for myself, obviously.'
