Amy Duggar King Shares Health Update on Husband Dillon After ‘Rare’ Condition ‘Displaced’ His Organs (Exclusive)

Amy Duggar King Updates Public on Husband’s Health Post Rare Medical Condition

Reality TV star Amy Duggar King recently took to social media to share an exclusive health update concerning her husband, Dillon King. Earlier this year, Amy disclosed on Instagram that Dillon was grappling with potentially life-threatening medical issues. She posted a photo of Dillon in a hospital gurney, expressing her concerns and seeking support from her followers.

Amy later revealed to PEOPLE that Dillon had been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture, an exceptionally rare and perilous condition. This ailment had led to the displacement of critical organs such as his kidney and parts of his digestive system into his chest cavity. Detailed CT scans unveiled a nearly 4-inch tear in Dillon’s diaphragm, with other organs like his right kidney, appendix, colon, and small intestines also dislocated.

Fortunately, Amy shared that Dillon’s health has taken a positive turn since then. The couple discovered that his discomfort was linked to Celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption that can harm the small intestine. Adjusting his diet has already shown significant improvements, although a lingering diaphragmatic issue requires further evaluation for the next course of action.

Amy and Dillon, who tied the knot in September 2015, are parents to a 5-year-old son named Daxton. Reflecting on their relationship, Amy shared that it was a slow realization of Dillon being the perfect life partner for her. She reminisced about the moment she recognized his unwavering support and love, acknowledging him as the one who stood by her side through thick and thin.

Family holds a special place in Amy’s heart, with her husband, mother, and son being her pillars of strength. She expressed gratitude for having her prayers answered by having her loved ones by her side every day. Amy channels her life experiences and emotions into her upcoming book, ‘Holy Disruptor: Shattering the Shiny Facade While Getting Louder with the Truth,’ slated for release on October 14.

Throughout her writing journey, Amy recounted battling self-doubt and questioning the significance of her story. She eventually realised the potential of her narrative to resonate with and inspire others facing similar challenges. Her book serves as a testament to her resilience and determination to share her truths with the world, offering a glimpse into her personal struggles and triumphs.

As Amy navigates life’s ups and downs alongside her family, she remains steadfast in her commitment to being vulnerable and open about her experiences. Her candid storytelling aims to empower individuals to find strength in adversity and seek solace in knowing they are not alone in their battles. Stay tuned for the release of ‘Holy Disruptor’ to delve deeper into Amy’s journey of self-discovery and resilience.
