I didn\u2019t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dolly&#8217;s rep told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday that Dolly is fine.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s just the kidney stones, and the procedure she needs to resolve those. It looks like her sister posted, and it got quite a bit blown out of proportion, weirdly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The paper said that Parton is well enough that she plans to record a video on Wednesday for an undisclosed project from her home in Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>This comes a little over a week from when Dolly postponed her Las Vegas residency because she said she was dealing with &#8220;health challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[twitter id=&#8221;1975671528843850235&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dolly Parton&#8217;s sister, Freida, had fans on edge after revealing that she was, quote, &#8220;Up all night praying for my sister, Dolly.&#8221;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":18862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[5556,3915,10120,1458,10122,1757],"class_list":["post-33831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-dolly","tag-dolly-parton","tag-freida","tag-health","tag-kidney-stone","tag-prayers"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 13:53:27","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/10\/dolly-partons-sister-is-calling-for-prayers-for-dolly\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33831"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33863,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33831\/revisions\/33863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
