The Duggar Family

I would like to extend my well wishes and thoughts to the Duggar Family though this difficult period of their lives after welcoming their 19th baby, Josie Brooklyn Duggar yesterday, December 11th 2009 via emergency cesarean section for Pre-E after a hospital stay due to gallstones. Baby Josie was born at 25 weeks gestation at 1 pound 6 ounces.

Over the past 24 hours I have seen some of this most disgusting comments via the internet on news articles, and just message boards. Whether Michelle was on her 3rd or 30th child, Pre-E can happen to anyone at any age and during any pregnancy. This family may live differently than the vast majority of Americans, but seriously, if you want to say something negative, say it when mother and baby are far out of the woods, not when a micro preemie is fighting to live.

Some people never cease to amaze me.

Michelle has been such an amazing asset to the VBAC community in having 12 VBAC’s herself.
I can only hope in future years she will continue to work with and praise ICAN like she has in the past.
