On January 27, 2021, Erin shared the progress of her daughter’s leg injury. The little girl’s broken leg needed her to get her bones reset by applying a full leg cast to hold them in place.
The “Home Town” star explained in the Instagram post that her daughter was feeling great after getting to see Dr. Kosko. At the time, the family was back home in Laurel, Mississippi.
Helen saw the doctor at the Southern Bone and Joint Specialists in Hattiesburg. The reality star also acknowledged how her daughter had received many well-wishes from her parent’s fans.
Erin revealed that Helen had gotten all the messages and wanted her mother to thank her fans for checking up on her. On Monday, February 22, 2021, the reality star gave another update.
Taking to her Instagram Story, she uploaded a new photo of her daughter’s cast. Over the post, she explained that the following day Helen would finally get to remove the cast.
She jokingly noted how she and her husband’s blown back discs would finally get some reprieve and recovery. The television personality revealed that they blew their discs out by carrying their daughter.
She joked that they’d had to carry the little girl and her 10lb leg up and down the stairs to the potty. The couple, who was discovered on Instagram, had to nurse Helen for around a month.
