Michelle was airlifted to the hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas last weekend suffering from gallstones. Network representatives told People magazine that the pain was generating some contractions.
"We're told Michelle is resting comfortably and the baby is 'stable' -- although she's in the neonatal intensive-care unit at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences," TMZ reports.
The rep adds, "The most important thing right now is for Mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible. The family is grateful for all the prayers and well wishes during their recovery."
Michelle and her husband Jim Bob issued a thank-you video to fans who were concerned with the reality star's health.
This is the Duggars' ninth daughter. The couple also became grandparents in October when son Josh welcomed a baby girl Mackynzie.

Julia said...REALLY?!? Which sign from God are you speaking of? Gallstones? Early Labor? NICU? I suppose you think that anyone afflicted with any of these should march themselves off to be spayed. If only she hadn't had that 19th child she wouldn't have has any of this because we all know it never happens with your first 2.3 children.

They are a happy, healthy and lovely family that is raising beautifull and well adjusted children. They are God's gift to us and I send my support for anything that they do. They are a loving Christian family that wants no more than to spread their peace and love in any way they can. God bless all the Duggars.

Kevin said...What are you talking about if the love children and have good values they can have as many as they want. We we need more of our children raised with good values now days.

Evelyn said...I agree. There is no possible way two people can give this many children all the attention they need. I see they have plenty of support but do they realize if they keep it up they could give birth to a severly damaged baby who has to share his/her parents with so many other siblings. Plus why cant her own children have the limelight of having their own children w/o being overshadowed by their own mother?

Twang33 said...She should change her name from Michelle to Xerox. She keeps pumping 'em out like a copy machine...might as well call her one! Ker-chunk, ker-chunk, ker-chunk. She and her husband make me sick. They're like a community within themselves and they don't let in anyone from the outside. Self-make commune. I can't stand them. What's going to happen when those kids have to go out into the "real world"? They all think that life is like one huge on-going church social, but we all know different. They will not be equipped with the knowledge and the attitude that they will need, let alone the street smarts! Very sad.

aimeelynn1216 said...Right, because everyone who has a pregnancy/delivery with complications should take it as a sign that they should't have additional children...get real!

petrarushing said...that's absurd...this is something that can happen to anybody. Just because she now has delivered 19 children and this premature birth has happened to them is not a sign they should stop. Who are you anyway? God? I think not.

Best wishes for this family. With God, all things are possible.
