We reported that with Karen staying in the hospital, Dion brought Grandma GG in to help look after the other kids. It’s a big job because the family raises 11 children. Two of those kids initially came from a set of triplets. However one of them, Carter passed away.
Naturally, Karen and Deon hope that the current set of triplets arrive safely. It’s been a stressful time for them ahead of the upcoming birth. Screenrant noted that a big earthquake didn’t help matters. The shock of it pushed Karen into labor. The Doubling Down with the Derricos triplets got born via C-Section.

What is a hole in the heart?
Pedctsurgery explains that a hole in the heart means that there’s a gap in the septum. It divides the two sectors of the heart. And, that means that blood that should go to the body can end up in the lungs. They explained that these days, kids born with that undergo surgery that corrects it. In fact, they noted, ” Children [with] simple congenital heart defects can survive to adulthood and live normal, active, and productive lives.”
On Twitter, one Doubling Down with the Derricos fan noted, “I was also a premie with a hole in my heart, I’m 38 years old and have had no major health problems to date! Baby Dawsyn is a fighter and will be just fine!” Meanwhile, other fans really pray that Dawsyn pushes through. Here’s a little spoiler for you. More recent photos show the family with 14 children.
