\"It really lifted my spirits,\" Coley told \"Good Morning America.\" \"I can honestly say the nurses at Northside Hospital are the best.\"

Kingston tweeted a video of the nurses singing to her sister and one Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter, shared the footage writing, \"We missed you last night Amanda! Looks (and sounds) like you have a great team helping you get better. We’re thinking of you and sending you love.\"

Kingston told \"GMA\" Coley will be in the hospital receiving treatment, including a bone marrow transplant, for the next year. Kingston was tested to be Coley's donor and the family is hoping for positive results next week.

Kingston said she and Coley were disappointed to miss the concert, but the message from Nick Carter made their days.

\"We both cried together -- we were over the moon,\" Kingston said of Carter's tweet. \"We still fan-girl pretty hard when we talk about it.\"
