The most recent member of the massive, reality TV family, the Duggars, baby Josie, was rushed back to the hospital this week after her vital signs began to falter.
The nineteenth child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar was born premature last December, and was only allowed to leave the neo-natal unit to come home with the rest of the family last week. The problem with the baby arose due to additives in the breast milk she was receiving leading to constipation. The constipation distressed baby Josie, and her vital signs dropped, forcing the Duggars to rush her back to the hospital.
Josie Duggar weighed just 1 lb 6 ozs at birth, making her what doctors call a micro-preemie. Born after only 25-weeks in utero, the chances of her survival were slim, but the Duggars never gave up hope.
Proud Papa, Jim Bob, said that her vital signs were regulating, and she was improving, but doctors will keep her in the hospital for a few more days to make sure she was okay.
19 Kids and Counting, the Duggars’ TLC reality series, returns to prime time with Josie’s journey home from the hospital on May 9, 2010, at 8 PM. For those of you itching for a sneak peek at baby Josie, check out this video from the NICU.
