Kim Zolciak is still hospitalized after suffering a mini stroke Thursday, but the 37-year-old reality TV star isn't letting that get in the way of her practicing her ballroom moves for Monday's "Dancing With the Stars." Reportedly, Zolciak's dance partner Tony Dovolani has been trying to teach the blonde beauty some of their routine.

According to TMZ, Zolciak is hopeful she will be released from the hospital in time to make it to Los Angeles for "Dancing With the Stars," and wants to be ready for the ballroom. A source told the site that the "Don't Be Tardy" star has not been cleared by doctors to travel, but she's been going over a few moves with Dovolani.

So far, the pair has survived two eliminations and it's rumored Monday's episode will be "TV Night" where the couples perform to classic theme songs.

As previously reported, Zolciak told her fans via Instagram Thursday morning that she was rushed to the hospital shortly after landing at LAX. The mom of six said she had suffered a TIA, or mini stroke, and the left side of her body "went completely numb." Zolciak also said she was unable to talk because her "speech was gone."

Thankfully, she's doing much better. Zolciak told fans the feeling in her body came back and on Friday she shared on Instagram that she was "going in for one more procedure," but would hopefully be released soon.

“Things are looking up! Don’t let the oxygen scare you its just protocol, I wanted THANK all of you for the love! I feel so overwhelmed with all the texts, comments etc," Zolciak wrote. "I’m so grateful to have all of you! #TheyDontCallMeToughieForNothig.”

In another post she also thanked Dovolani for staying by her side at the hospital. “This guy @tonydovolani has been by my side for 2 days!” she wrote. “He even brings me my favorite coffee. Although he is always dancing around the room lol he keeps me smiling! So blessed to be surrounded by such great people. Want to go home so bad! Hopefully tomorrow! #GoingStirCrazy #BlessingInDisguise.”
