Michelle Duggar Spends Mother's Day in Hospital With Josie
Michelle Duggar spent yesterday in the NICU at Arkansas Children’s Hospital visiting with her daughter Josie who was born prematurely in December weighing less than two pounds. But there was some good news — Josie hit the six-pound mark so they were having a “six-pounder party.” Even though I criticized the Duggars for subjecting the premature infant to the additional stress of film crews, Jim Bob and Michelle do sound like loving parents, and were “going over all their blessings” this Mother’s Day. Plus, you have to feel for a woman who wants this on Mother’s Day:
A new ironing board cover!
“The kids and I went out shopping but Michelle is hard to buy things for because she is so practical,” Bob says.
“I just need a new cover for the ironing board,” she says, laughing.
“This Mother’s Day is definitely going to be different because we’ll be at the hospital,” Michelle said.”This is the first time I’ve been in the hospital on Mother’s Day.”
“This is a very special Mother’s Day even though we are going through a lot of unknowns,” says Jim Bob.
“We are going to remember this Mother’s Day like no other,” Michelle says. “It will be a Mother’s Day I remember forever.”

I, for a very long time now, have tried to keep up with the Duggar Family. I think the girls are beautiful and I LOVE Johannah ! I watched with eager antipation the Mother’s Day program , getting to see little Josie a little bit better. I do hate to hear that Josie had to return to the hospital, but admire Michelle greatly for doing everything that she can do for her ” precious little Josie “. I have been praying for the Duggar Family AND little Josie. I am concerned for Michelle’s health because this is the second time that she has had the preeclampsia which can be fatal to both the mother and the child. However, God intervened and seemingly Josie will have a healthy normal life, once this first year will be over. I admire their stand for the Lord and how they keep Him a vital part of their lives in everything they do. God Bless you, Michelle and baby Josie.
To Laverne Van Auken:
“God intervened”?! God had nothing to do with what the DOCTORS and NURSES did. Don’t go around thinking that your god had anything to do with the fact that she is still alive. She would have died if not for the DOCTORS’ intervention, the NURSES’ care and modern medicine. All of which were developed through HUMAN ingenuity. Please, dont downplay their hard work and the hard work of millions of people before them in the name of “god’s graces.” If not for these professionals, Michelle AND her baby would be dead.
to Random Person. Maybe God intervened by giving the skills, knowledge and compassion to the Doctors and Nurses to help the Duggars. With God all things are possible.
To Random person..Who do you think gives man knowledge and wisdom? It comes from God. Obviously you dont think so, but show some tolerance and respect the Duggars rights to have an opinion outside the norm. They have repeatedly thanked the docs and nurses for all they have done, but ultimately they know where true thanksgiving lies.
Is this finally a sign for this selfish woman to stop having babies? I am disgusted with #19…if she has #20, child services need to be involved. And Jim Bob needs to keep it in his pants
I believe that Josie’s survival is a miracle of God. Yes the hospital and their staff has been absolutely integral in her survival, as has the unwavering love and support from Josie’s parents and siblings. If it weren’t for God giving people the brains to develop the ingenuity required to save a preemie of her size, then she wouldn’t be here. God works in mysterious ways and who am I to question how he reveals himself.
I may not agree with having all these children, but that is not a decision I have to make for myself. I wish Michelle, Jim Bob,and all the kids the absolute best!
