What Happen To Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth’s Son Gideon Duggar? Update On Health
- Joy-Anna, 24, posted a video on her YouTube channel on Saturday, February 19 in which she discloses that her three-year-old son, Gideon, is suffering from a health ailment
Joy-Anna‘s son is “falling a little behind in some areas of communication and comprehension,” she told her fan.
Gideon has difficulty remembering numbers, according to her, and doesn’t always understand what she and her husband, Austin, are urging him to do.
She stated,
“For a few months now, I’ve kind of had a few concerns about his learning. I feel like he’s just a little bit behind. I know it’s not great to compare him to other kids, but at the same time, I can kinda compare a little bit,”
Duggar also noted that her sister Jessa Duggar‘s son Henry had screened. She said,
“He was a little bit behind, but they took him in a year later and she had used all the tips … and he was ahead and doing great,”
She then filmed her visit to Regional Therapy Services to have Gideon checked in Rogers, Arkansas. Duggar got treatment for her son from Deedra Branscum, a therapist who is a family friend.
After the full evaluation, Deedra said,
“Gideon is ‘not very far behind’ and ‘may catch up on his own’ with some support at home. But It might be just good to get the full evaluation and get that plan and see what all the things are that he’s missing and give you an idea of what things you can do at home,”
