Adam Busby, from the reality show OutDaughtered, opens up about the challenges of living with his wife Danielle Busby’s autoimmune disease in a teaser for an upcoming episode. The couple discusses the ups and downs that come with Danielle’s health concerns, highlighting the need for Adam to be prepared for both good and bad days.
In an exclusive clip shared by People ahead of the June 4 episode, viewers get a glimpse into the Busby household. The first four episodes of the season have already showcased the reality of raising six growing girls, and it has become clear that the Busbys require additional help to manage their busy lives. While Danielle and Adam are working on resolving their issues, the process is not without significant stress. Chronic stress seems to be taking a toll on Danielle and the family, and unfortunately, her autoimmune disease acts up at an inconvenient time.
The sneak peek of the upcoming episode shows Adam checking on Danielle, who is unexpectedly still in bed. Concerned, he asks her if she’s getting up, to which she responds groggily that she can’t. Adam is taken aback and asks what’s wrong. In a raspy voice, Danielle explains that she doesn’t feel good and is experiencing pain and inflammation in her joints and muscles. Adam tries to help by asking if she needs medicine or if he should call the doctor, but Danielle simply requests some downtime to cope with the pain.
In a confessional, Adam shares his struggle with Danielle’s autoimmune condition, expressing his desire to fix the situation but feeling helpless. He acknowledges that her flare-ups can be unpredictable and come at the worst times. On this particular day, they had interviews scheduled for potential nanny candidates, but due to Danielle’s heightened stress levels, Adam decides to cancel the appointments and reschedule.
Living with an autoimmune disorder adds an extra layer of complexity to their already busy lives, and Adam admits that he constantly needs to be prepared for Danielle’s bad days. He emphasizes that he doesn’t want Danielle to think he’s frustrated with her but rather with the situation that nobody fully understands. While he is trying his best to understand and support her, the need to adapt quickly can be challenging. Together, they are finding ways to navigate Danielle’s health problems and manage the impact they have on their family dynamic.
