Brentt Leakes, son of popular reality television personality NeNe Leakes, took to Instagram to share that he recently underwent heart transplant surgery.
Brentt, 25, posted videos of himself in the hospital following his ordeal.
“In July of this year, I went into a 14-hour heart transplant surgery and now have a brand new heart in me,” Brentt said in the caption for one of the videos. “Now that I’m back (still in recovery), I’ve essentially had to relearn how to walk and communicate. But I’m even more fluent.”
The videos included footage of him in the midst of his recovery process during his hospital stay.
“This experience has FOREVER changed my life. I am so thankful to the family that donated the heart,” Brentt said. “A huge thank you to MY MOM, Marshella, Nyoni, Big Janae, Nikiyah, my friends, doctors, nurses, and everyone else who was pushing, pulling and praying me through this.”
NeNe Leakes was one of the many who expressed their support in the video’s comments.
“To God Be Glory,” NeNe exclaimed. “It has been A LOT.”
