Highlights from "Duggars Chicken Out"

  • Johannah came down with the chickenpox and infected 11 of her siblings, just as Josie was scheduled to come home from the hospital. To keep their preemie well, Jim Bob and Michelle kept her in Little Rock for a few extra weeks.
  • After the Duggars' TLC crew anxiously phoned their mothers to assure they had had the chickenpox, they entered the "chickenpox infested nest" and resumed normal filming.
  • Jim Bob distributed medicine and took temperatures by the dozen. Even though taking care of sick kids is not his area of expertise, Jinger commends her dad for a job well done. 
  • Jim Bob and the kids passed through Little Rock and visited with Michelle and Josie through a glass door. Josie, born at 25 weeks gestation, has a weak immune system and will have to "live in a bubble," as Michelle puts it, for the first 2 years of her life. 
  • Josie went in for a checkup."She looks great, she's tracking me visually, she's interacting well," announced her neonatologist. 
  • Josie's doctor shared how he has been blessed by the Duggar family: "They've had to go through quiet a bit. They've always had a smile on their face, and they've always been very, very positive. They've uplifted me when I've been down about things." 
  • Grandpa Ruark, Michelle's father, passed away due to congestive heart failure. Garrett Floyde Ruark lived a full life and was blessed with 7 children, 31 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren. While a NICU nurse watched Josie, all of the Duggars traveled to Ohio for the funeral. 

Duggars Chicken Out

Tune into TLC tonight at 9/8PM CST for "19 Kids and Counting" Duggars Chicken Out.
Having one or two kids with the chickenpox is bad enough, but what happens when twelve develop itchy, red sores at once? Jim Bob Duggar sure had his hands full!
Michelle and Josie were scheduled to return home to Springdale, but the break-out forced them to remain in Little Rock for a few extra weeks.

What is the greatest number of people who have been sick at once in your household? Can you beat twelve??
