It appears as though she is ready to come home following successful scans. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Cori thanked fans for their outpouring emotions. She also shared a clip of bouquets of flowers by her bedside as she promised to share more in depth information shortly.

She revealed she was getting a CT scan of her chest in a bid to discover what exactly caused her stroke, sharing a boomerang video to her Story of her bed being rolled into the scanning room. When back in her room, she shared the good news of her results while watching Goofy on the TV.

She wrote: "My ct scan of my chest came back normal and I'm going home today. I can prolly cry omgggg. Thank you thank you for the continuous prayers, love etc."

Cori's news last week stunned her followers. As she announced her stroke, she heartbreakingly asked, "what did I do to deserve this?". In the emotional reveal, she detailed the scary ordeal, writing: "I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me. Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this."

At the time, she didn't detail what led up to her stroke, but she was only six-years-old when she was diagnosed with lupus. Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs, according to Mayo Clinic. It can also increase the risk of a stroke.
