A Family In Crisis 🚨 Jessa’s Baby “Critically Ill”… Duggars Rally In Prayer As Michelle COLLAPSES In Grief 💔
Jessa Duggar Seawald’s newborn baby has been admitted to the hospital in critical condition, reportedly suffering from severe respiratory distress and an infection. The infant is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, where medical staff are working to stabilize the baby’s breathing. Jessa alerted the public to the crisis with a heart-wrenching Instagram story on June 2nd showing her baby’s hand with medical tubing, simply captioned, “Please pray. We’re in the hospital. It’s serious.”
The family matriarch, Michelle Duggar, is said to be completely devastated by the news, reportedly breaking down and repeatedly saying, “Not another one. Not again,” an especially poignant reaction given the family’s past heartbreaks, including Jessa’s 2022 miscarriage. Jessa is described as being by her baby’s side constantly, while her husband, Ben Seawald, is acting as a supportive figure, liaising with doctors and managing their other four young children with help from the extended Duggar family, including siblings Jill, Joy-Anna, and Jana who have reportedly visited.
The news has prompted an outpouring of prayers and support from fans and the wider community, with the hashtag #prayforjess trending online. Many have expressed deep sympathy, recalling Jessa’s previous loss and acknowledging the immense emotional burden of a NICU journey. As of the latest reports, the baby remains in critical but stable condition, and the family is leaning heavily on their faith while navigating this difficult time.
