In her Instagram update, Egypt Sherrod was relieved to announce that everything had gone smoothly with her daughter, Harper Skye, during her hospital stint. "Finally today was her adenoids removal surgery and I am so proud of my baby. She was brave and although nervous, never freaked out. All is well and she is home with me resting. But today my 4 year old is my SHERO! Go Harper Bean," the HGTV star wrote. In an accompanying video, Harper is seen in the hospital, putting on a brave face as the staff prepare for the procedure, then hugging her mom tight afterward.
The little girl even got to hold her stuffed animals and take a ride in a flowery pink buggy en route to the operating room instead of on the standard bed. Sherrod's husband and co-star, Mike Jackson, was also briefly seen comforting his youngest before her adenoidectomy. The procedure isn't that uncommon, with over 500,000 surgeries taking place each year on children younger than 15, according to the National Institute of Health.
In response to Sherrod's post, one commenter wrote, "My son has his Adenoids and Tonsils removed at the same age," with another chiming in, "Praise God, we went through that with our son." Despite how relatively run-of-the-mill the surgery is, it doesn't make it any less terrifying for the parents who have to patiently sit in the waiting room. Fortunately for Sherrod and Jackson, their youngest handled it like a total champ.
