The littlest Duggar Josie returned to the hospital after her brief stay at home on the latest episode of 19 Kids and Counting that aired Tuesday night on TLC. Josie, who was born almost four months early, had been released from the hospital, and was able to eat and breath on her own and the family happily welcomed her home.

Three days after she was able to come home, Josie was taken back to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital after Michelle noticed that she wasn’t eating. “I was really terrified, I didn’t know what was going on,” she said.

The frightening phone call made by Jill to the 911 operator detailed little Josie’s problems. “She’s a little preemie and her heart rate is dropping,” Jill said. “My mom is trying to do skin to skin with her to warm her up but we think her core temp is down. She’s on full oxygen now but it seems to not be helping her too much."

Michelle described the problem Josie was having. “She wasn’t wanting to eat and if she doesn’t want to eat she’s not going to gain weight and she couldn’t poo so she didn’t want to eat. It was a cycle that wasn’t going good.”

Jill accompanied her mom and Josie back to the hospital and Michelle explained “this is why we wanted to stay in Little Rock.”

“We’re just going to be careful about feeding her and making sure she can get bigger,” Michelle said about Josie.

The episode also focused on another little Duggar, the first grandchild Mackynzie, Josh and Anna’s daughter. Josh and Anna take her to work with them at the car lot and she gets to play with them while they’re at work.

Jim Bob brought the younger boys and Joy Anna back to their home in Springdale to prepare the house for Josie’s homecoming. The kids cleaned up the house and even took down the Christmas decorations that had been up for four months!

“It’s been a difficult couple of months but God got us through it,” Jim Bob said.

On the next episode the Duggar children go to the Little Rock Zoo. 19 Kids and Counting airs on TLC on Tuesdays at 9pm.



I never see Jim Bob or Michelle holding the younger kids its always the older girls taking care of them. It seems to me I have seen Michelle spend more time with the newest addition then I have seen her with any of the others.

Thr Money Duggers, Twisted Kate, etc. have one thing in common--their uncommon greed. If Josie dies, TLC will be filming it as it happens & Jim Boob will narrate it.

The Duggars are greedy. Check their personal (not the TLC one!) website. They take your hard-earned $$ to give you seminars on how to get rich. They make their money from TLC and appearances. No real jobs per se.

Hope Reader saw your post. Reader just doesn't get it and never will. She is a Troll if ever I've seen one. One of the most hypocritical people I've ever seen. Really sad that some people don't have common sense.

They also state the use of birth control pills is "selfish" and killing God's innocent babies. And you Gosselin haters act like Kate's crazy? The Duggar's web site has crazy covered.

Reader31, the Gosselins said they'd get out if it hurt the kids too. And you say they don't live off the kids and are self sufficient. Then it is high time to move on! The excuse about answering questions..same one the Gosselins gave!

That was then this is now. Why don't you take care of running your own life instead of insisting on making the Gosselins or any other family your business. That fact is it's none of your business or anyone elses.

Seriously Reader that was a stupid comment but it's not surprise coming from you. You are the one that can't seem to let go of the past. You have to harp on things that happened a long time ago. You need some serious therapy.
