Jessa Duggar Seewald's Latest Instagram Post Has Fans Worried For Her Son
As part of her sponsored post for a Christian healthcare cost ministry, Jessa Duggar Seewald shared a series of photos on Instagram. Some were sweet memories of pregnancies, births, and family outings to parks and county fairs. Jessa and her husband, Ben, have four children, ranging from Spurgeon Elliot — who's about to turn 7 — to one-year-old Fern Elliana (via In Touch Weekly).
However, the slideshow also showed a scary ER visit. Spurgeon was shown being wheeled into the hospital on a gurney, lying in a bed hooked up to a pulse oximeter, and undergoing a CT scan. The pictures appear to have been taken recently, but this was the first time Jessa has shared them on Instagram or even mentioned that her son had been hurt or ill. Her YouTube channel has no record of the incident, either. "What happened to Spurgeon?" several fans asked. At least one respondent opined that this was Jessa Duggar's latest blunder on social media: "Using a sick kid to promote. Gross."
Jessa hasn't offered an explanation of the worrisome pictures, but hopefully this was a short-lived emergency. With four active children, there's always a risk of an accident happening at some point. Recently, she shared a picture of her sons caught in the act of trying to climb a stool atop a bench. "New Seewald house rule: No stacking anything on top of anything and then standing on top of the second anything," she wrote.
