‘Doubling Down With the Derricos’ Deon Gives Health Update in Hospital

Deon Derrico gives fans insight into the recent health issues that landed him and his mother in the hospital just over a week after his divorce was final.

On Sunday is the Doubling with the Derricos star revealed that both he and his mother, Marian “GG” Derricoended up in the emergency room of a hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, for different reasons. They were both “okay.”

“This past week has been a doozie to say the least… today GG and I were literally in distress at the same time!!” the TLC personality shared in his June 23 Instagram upload, featuring a photo of the two holding hands. “We’re both okay now!!”

According to the reality star, GG was dehydrated with extremely low potassium levels. Since she also has lung cancer, medical professionals decided to keep her in the hospital for observation for a while longer. “But she’s talking nonsense and bothering me,” which Deon says is “always a good sign!”

A few hours later, Deon shared another update with his fans: a video showing him leaning on the side of his mother’s stretcher.

Calling her grandchildren, the 74-year-old said, “I just want to let you all know that I’m in the emergency room and I’m being taken care of. You know GG has been dealing with this for a few days now.”

“It’s been a rough week, y’all,” Deon interrupted before he and his mother began to bicker. “There you go, GG’s doing better,” he joked.

Deon didn’t go into details about why he went to the ER, but he did thank his fans for their concern in the caption. He noted that he planned to continue filming behind the scenes at the hospital to “keep you all updated” since GG would be staying there overnight.

Get well soon, GG!
