On January 2, Raber gave his fans an update on his health. He thanked them, noting he would be released from the hospital on Jan. 3.

"Huge thank you to all the people that have been praying for me," Raber wrote in a post on TikTok. "I truly appreciate it!!! I'm doing good and will be out tomorrow."

Raber has dealt with medical issues before. According to TMZ, he was hospitalized for two days back in 2024. He was suffering from heart problems and diabetic ketoacidosis at that time. Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a serious and life-threatening condition. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin.

Raber rose to fame during the 2012 debut season of Breaking Amish, earning himself a reputation for being one of the more polarizing cast members. He returned to the show during later seasons.
