Sad news for the Duggar family.
TLC reality star, Michelle Duggar, who’s given birth to eighteen kids, was airlifted to a hospital this weekend!
Michelle was taken to an Arkansas hospital where it was discovered she was suffering from some gallbladder problems.
Thankfully it wasn’t anything life threatening, as the 43-ayear-old is currently pregnant with her 19th baby due this Spring.
A rep for TLC has issued the following statement:
“This weekend, Michelle Duggar was admitted to an Arkansas hospital due to gallbladder issues. The pain from a gallstone was generating some contractions.
Just to be safe, she was airlifted a Little Rock, Ark., hospital, so that in the unlikely event that she had to be delivered early, she would be close to a NICU center. Though there were some fears that the baby was in trouble initially, it soon was discovered to be solely the gallstone causing the discomfort. Michelle is resting comfortably, and the baby is doing fine.”
But unfortunately for Michelle, she’ll have to stay at the hospital for a while longer.
Adds the rep:
“Doctors want to observe Michelle in the hospital for the next couple of days, but it would appear that the pain medication they have given her for the gallstone has worked, and there is no need for immediate surgery. The hope is that any necessary surgery can be delayed until after she delivers.”
Feel better!!!
