On the Duggar Family Official Facebook page, twins Jana and John David Duggar were given a shout out for their 28th birthdays. In one of the photos, Jana is seen holding Samuel. It appears there is a tube coming from the little one and oxygen tape on the side of his head.

"Why the oxygen tape?" a concerned fan asked. "I didn't hear there was an issue with his birth, except that Jill needed another C-section. In this pic he's already home so it sounds more long term than just a quick birth recovery issue."

A second follower wrote, "The white cord is from an apnea monitor. Maybe he needed 02 for feeds."

The photo comes after Derick posted a photo of Samuel with tubes coming out of his nose.

"That is a tube to suction fluid out of the lungs," a fan suspected. "When babies are born by C-section the fluid does not get pushed out by contractions. It is normal to have to get this out, not a complication. Happened with both my C-section babies."
