S05.E19: Where Are They Now? Dottie and June LIVE CHAT

[Barb23]

Oh no.  Here it comes with the "I'm not like everyone else."  Wonder how many times Dr Now has heard that?

[mysticalflute]

Oh Dottie, Dottie, Dottie... she looks like she's gained some weight, doesn't she?

[aliya]

Brandon hasn't had a chance to be social?? Was he in daycare so Dottie could take care of the other one (zoning on the name). It didn't seem that way. So, he had plenty of chances to be social with his freakin' mom. Yeah, not liking Dottie much.

[Threnners]

You know, if Dottie doesn't take care of herself, she's not going to be around to take care of her family.

[DC Gal in VA]

Well I hope June can lose the ten pounds per month Dr. Now wants. Seems reasonable.

Oh no, Dottie's other son has speech problems. At least she realizes that her toddler needs more of her attention.

[Azubah]

How old is Landon?

[Maggienolia]

Remind me... did Dottie get the surgery on the first episode? How on earth are they going to get rid of those butt wings? 

[mysticalflute]

June got a job! Yay!

[Anchorabu]

Poor Dottie, I wonder if Landon is autistic.

Anyone surprised that the neglected child is a mess?  And NOW everything is about this troubled child?

[Azubah]

A job!!

Well, it seemed like she mostly ignored him in favor of the handicapped son.

[MsVixen]

Hiya Gorgeous Ones!  How the heck are all y'all and why does that woman still have those flaps on her ass?

[Azubah]

Lots of kids have speech delays without being autistic.

Okay. Why. WHY! Is Dottie's husband wearing a MS State t-shirt when they live in Oxford (home of Ole Miss)? The nerve.

Sorry. Ole Miss grad here... the nerve. 

He is a T shirt fan!

Hey gang! Mom had 2 dr Appt's today and I just got her up from her nap.  I'm making her supper and she's just starting to watch! She wants her Pirates Booty popcorn puffs and a baked potato again. ?Good to see you all! Mom says hi and sends her love!❤️

Mom, seeing Dr. Now: "hey, there's my doctor!" *claps*

Hi Anchorabu and Momma A!  Good to see you all here!

[Miracle Maxie]

They're both in full excuse mode now. Not sure this will end well for either one. 

Is 7 Little Johnstons preparing for a crossover with Whitney?

[DC Gal in VA]

I always think "Uh oh" when I hear someone like Dottie saying they have to skip their appointments with Dr. Now. Usually means they're messing up big time.

It's true, but it's hard to judge her for it.

Hi Azubah. Langdon is two.

[OSM Mom]

Eating dinner then going to bed is never good. I bet she's gained.

[Azubah]

Of course it's natural to be concerned, but a 2-year-old who isn't talking isn't that unusual.

[mysticalflute]

You haven't seen him in 5 months? Oh God.

ITA. Like I said a few comments ago, I can't bring myself to snark on her.

Oh no she missed five months of appointments.

[CouchTater]

Hey 600-lb peeps.

I just got home from work, so I'm over 5o minutes behind.  Is it worth starting from beginning?  Or can I just drop in now, with Dorrie weighing in at 509?

[55Unicorns]

Dottie's hops just make me shake my head...

When my daughter was a baby I couldn't wait until she could talk so I knew what she was thinking. Now she is 12 and sometimes I would rather not know! :)

I'd maybe watch a bit of the beginning since Dottie has a major event. June you can probably skip over until they show her again.

[DC Gal in VA]

Damn, 11 pounds in five months? But she really does have so much grief she's dealing with.

[Barb23]

Dottie definitely would benefit from grief therapy.

[Kid]

So tired of hearing them saying they are sticking to the plan and they don't understand why they didn't lose enough weight. It has gotten old.  I know she lost her son,  but she uses her kids as an excuse.

[MsVixen]

Dottie looks bigger at 503 than she did at 520.

[chickenella]

Is it my imagination or does it seem like it's daylight when the arrive for their appointments but pitch black outside when they leave? How long is the wait time in that office, lol. 

[WhitneyWhit]

I was surprised to see that she had lost 133 pounds, it honestly doesn't look like she lost an ounce, or maybe it's that flying saucer around her waist.

Dive right in! Both have lost weight, with June losing over 200 pounds.

Sad to say, Dottie's son with cerebral palsy died.

Until those butt flaps are gone, she's always going to look extra large.

[Armchair Critic]

Wow those butt wings. Not to be morbid but I can see why it's almost a no win situation, once she loses a lot of weight all that extra skin and butt wing is going to be a mess.

[okerry]

Please sent Dottie to therapy. These patients need it anyway, and there's nothing more traumatic than the death of a child. Oh, good . . . I always find the therapy visits the most interesting parts of this show.

Whitney, you're first up on the naughty chair!! Flying saucer????????

*Lord forgive me.

[Kid]

This therapist is one of the better ones he has on the show, in my opinion.

[Miracle Maxie]

Flesh-colored stretch pants are NOT a good look.

Yep.   My son has been in speech therapy for 7 years and not autistic (but he does have a scorching case of ADHD) and his delay is related to musculature.      The little one might not be talking because everyone else is talking for him, he just can't be bothered to, physical issue, it could be anything.

Also, YAY for Dottie getting therapy.  YAY YAY YAY.

Mom regarding June: "If my calves were dragging on the ground, I think I'd skip the manicure with the 2" nails..."

Tell Momma A that she can ride shotgun when I'm driving the bus to hell :D :D :D  That was some quality snark there!

[Barb23]

It's a shame it took her 5 months to get to therapy.  I'm sure when Daniel died, someone at hospital (? Social worker) had to recommend it.  It did a world of good for my niece last year when her best friend committed suicide. And she went a week after it happened.

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh wow, Dottie's therapy session has got me all choked up. I really liked that therapist and hope Dottie keeps up with her therapy. I hope she can come to see Daniel as being free from all his pain and suffering, and is now an angel on her shoulder.

That is why the other children in households with a disabled or very sick child often have problems of their own - the other child gets all of the attention. She knew she had a disabled child that took all of her time and attention. She should have thought of that before having Brandon. And yeah, stuff happens, but then you have to put on your big girl panties and try not to eff up the new kid because you've got your hands full with the first one.
