Deon and Karen Derrico, the newest additions to the TLC family, have captured the hearts of viewers with their show Doubling Down With The Derricos, which showcases their journey as parents to their 14 children, all multiples. The show also highlights the presence of their beloved grandmother, GG, who plays an integral role in their family dynamics.
In the previous season, an unexpected twist unfolded when Deon discovered he had a secret nephew named Amani. Amani entered their lives following the passing of Deon’s brother, Chris, and the Derrico family welcomed him into their fold as one of their own. However, recent updates suggest that Amani has been going through a challenging period in his life, particularly concerning his health. In fact, Deon reached out to his followers, requesting sincere prayers. What is the reason behind this plea?
During the last season of Doubling Down With The Derricos, the family faced a perplexing situation. Deon revealed that he had a late brother, Chris, and later in the second season, a young boy named Amani came forward, claiming to be Chris’s son. Initially, there were doubts about Amani’s intentions, but after a DNA test confirmed the relationship, the Derrico family embraced him wholeheartedly.
As the new season commenced, viewers expected to see more of Amani after his introduction in the previous season, but he was noticeably absent, sparking curiosity among fans. Deon recently shared a concerning post on social media, shedding light on Amani’s challenging circumstances. He disclosed that his nephew had “been through it” and revealed that Amani had undergone “2 liver transplants within 2 weeks.” Deon also shared a picture of Amani lying in a hospital bed.
That’s not all. Deon further mentioned that Amani had been in an “induced coma” until a few days prior, expressing the urgent need for prayers from fans of Doubling Down With The Derricos, as Amani was in dire need of support. Deon’s heartfelt caption also touched upon the power and strength of God in such difficult times. However, he concluded the post on a positive note, mentioning that Amani is expected to be released within the next two weeks.
The update shared by Deon regarding Amani’s health has left fans deeply concerned and empathetic towards the Derrico family. As viewers eagerly await further news, they continue to send their thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes to Amani and the entire Derrico family during this challenging period.
