“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Shamea Morton provided a hopeful update after her newborn daughter, Shiloh, underwent surgery for breathing issues. Morton shared the news with her followers on Instagram, posting an encouraging message along with a video of her and her husband Gerald Mwangi’s baby girl in the hospital.

“Hey Bestfriends! I have a praise report! Shiloh’s 1st surgery went well @childrensatl ,” Morton wrote. She expressed her gratitude for the medical team, tagging the “amazing” doctor who played a crucial role in Shiloh’s recovery. “I just thank God for her,” she continued. “She drilled through the tissue and bone that was completely blocking her nasal passages! Shiloh now has stents in her nose but she’s been extubated (no more tubes in her throat). She now has a nasal cannula and she’s in her mommy’s arms! 🥹.”

Morton praised God for the successful procedure and mentioned that the true success of the surgery would be known once the stents are removed. 

Several of Morton’s “RHOA” co-stars showed their support in the comments. Cynthia Bailey wrote, “praise God!!!,” Kenya Moore added, “Told you!!!! ,” and Sheree Whitfield commented, “God is good .”

This update follows Morton’s announcement last week about the arrival of her and Mwangi’s second child via surrogacy. Shiloh was born prematurely on Valentine’s Day, weighing 6 pounds and 8 ounces. Shortly after her birth, Shiloh experienced breathing difficulties and required 100% oxygen. Morton detailed the harrowing experience, revealing that Shiloh had to be intubated and placed on a ventilator.

Morton, 40, and Mwangi, 60, married in July 2017 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Shya, in November 2018. Reflecting on her journey to motherhood, Morton shared her deep respect for women and the miracle of childbirth.

“I’m officially a MOM!” she wrote after Shya’s birth. “I have a whole new respect for women and our bodies. Childbirth is nothing short of a miracle. I feel so blessed to have had this experience.”
