Aug 22, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The upcoming episode of “19 Kids And Counting” is all set to air on TLC Network on Tuesday, August 24. However, the preview of the next episode is already leaked online and people are scrambling on web to catch a glimpse of the much controversial Duggar family to know their recent updates. The exclusive video clip of the next episode shows that 12 of their 19 kids are coping up with contagious chicken pox!

Duggar family consists of parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their 19 children, nine girls and ten boys (including two sets of fraternal twins), who all have names starting with the letter “J”. The video clip shows that father Jim Bob saying that one of her daughter Johanna broke out with chicken pox a couple of weeks ago and presently 11 more members of the family have are also suffering form chicken pox. Michelle Duggar said that the timing of the outbreak was right before the family was going to bring back Josie Brooklyn from the hospital.

The couple welcomed their 19th child last December, but the child came home from hospital on June. The couple gave one of the reasons for this late arrival as the other children were infected with chicken pox. Given Josie Brooklyn’s condition, her immune system would have been severely compromised if she was also infected with chicken pox. Josie Brooklyn was born three months prematurely after it was discovered that her mother was suffering from near fatal pre-eclampsia. However, after spending six months in hospital she was welcomed home in June. The audience is now waiting eagerly to see the chicken pox episode to see how the family handles the whole situation.
