One Month After Her First Birthday, Joy-Anna Duggar’s Daughter Is Hospitalized – What’s the Story Behind It?

This just in — 19 Kids and Counting alum and a member of the ever-expanding Duggar family, Joy-Anna Duggar, and Austin Forsyth, her husband, recently shared a terrifying moment when their 13-month-old son, Gunner, had to be rushed to the hospital. The incident was revealed in a Friday, June 14 video on the couple’s YouTube channel, where the former reality star shared the details of the scare that left her “pretty shaken up for a while.” So what basically happened was — the family was away at a youth camp, and Joy-Anna was feeding Gunner a piece of ham from her plate when he suddenly started choking. The reality TV star explained the whole story in the following words:

“I was just feeding him a little bit off my plate, and I had a piece of ham, like Thanksgiving ham, and I was letting him chew on it and take a bite off of it, and he bit off more than he could chew and immediately started choking.”

Realizing the severity of the situation, the family decided to drive to the hospital right away, with Gunner even stopping breathing a couple of times during the journey. “I was just crying out to God like, please save him, and I’ve never been to a point where, like, I thought I was going to lose one of my kids,” Joy-Anna recounted. At this point, the mother’s sentiments had her almost crippled which she expressed in the following words:

“It was just that thought of he is going to die came to my mind, and it just like was terrifying.”
