Tontitown, Aug 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The 19th Duggar baby – Josie was finally able to make her homecoming despite the fact that she was released from the hospital on the 3rd of June. Josie could only come home in the last week of June, as 12 of her siblings were down with chicken pox.
This news was released by Michelle Duggar on an episode of the show recently. She also added that when Josie was about to come home after her long stay in the ICU, as a result of her premature birth, then Johannah came down with chicken pox. And soon like the Dominoes effect, 11 more Duggar children were afflicted with the disease. So as a result Michelle and Bob Duggar had no option but to delay Josie’s homecoming.
Josie and Michelle Duggar were packed off to a rental home near the hospital, whereas Bob went home to look after his recuperating children. Josie has a very weak immune system and if she had gone home and contracted the disease, then it could have also been fatal for her.
Michelle Duggar said that, “About the time that Josie was supposed to be released from the hospital, Johannah came down with chicken pox and we knew that meant the others who hadn’t had them yet would get them, too.”
