Originally appeared on E! Online isn't putting a price on her husband's health. A day after the 19 Kids & Counting alum shared that her husband Dillion King is battling a rare diaphragmatic rupture, she hit back against claims that she used his ongoing health issues to make money. 'People have got it so wrong,' Amy—who shares son Dax, 5, with Dillion—said on her Instagram Story April 10. 'It is so sad to me how people think that I can stoop so low. And to think that like you've clicked on the link to read what Dillon's diagnosis is, that I get paid. There's absolutely zero money involved.' Indeed, days after first sharing Dillon was facing a serious medical issue, she spoke candidly about her husband's condition in an interview with People magazine. 'People are just so programed or groomed to think that everything has to do with money and that it's always somebody looking for a handout,' Amy—who wed Dillon in 2015—continued. 'There is not anything like that involved. It's just a story that People magazine put out and I am grateful to that.' More from E!

'A lot of people who will read that that will pray for him, that will lift him up. That will encourage his heart. That will help him as far as encouraging words,' she said. 'That is all I'm asking from you guys. Most of my followers support me and are genuine people. And that's who I choose to be. I'm just asking for prayers and nothing else.' Amy had first asked followers for support in a birthday tribute to Dillon, 37, in which she shared a photo of him in a hospital bed hooked up to IVs.'Normally we'd be celebrating in a huge way but currently we are facing some possible life threatening medical concerns,' Amy wrote April 3. 'Today I'd like to ask for some prayers on his behalf. I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can't think of a better gift for him.' Days after revealing Dillion's health journey, Amy shared his exact diagnosis. 'Dillon has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture,' the Counting On star told People in an interview published April. 9. 'an extremely rare and dangerous condition that has caused vital organs, including his kidney and parts of his digestive system, to shift into his chest cavity.' Adding that her husband's right kidney, colon and small intestine were, 'all displaced.' But while his recovery journey is full of unknowns, she and Dillion are fighting the battle together. "The risks are high, the procedures complex, and the recovery uncertain," she said. "We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer, and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.'
