Phil Robertson’s health has taken a downward turn.
The Duck Dynasty alum is in the “early stages” of Alzheimer’s disease, according to his son, Jase Robertson, who described the 78-year-old’s various ailments.
“According to the doctors, they’re sure that he has some sort of blood disease that’s causing all kinds of problems,” Jase shared on the Dec. 6 episode of the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast. “It’s accelerated and it’s causing problems with his entire body.”
The reality star—who appeared with his family on the duck-hunting reality series from 2012 to 2017—noted that his dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis has complicated his health, adding, “He’s just not doing well. He’s really struggling.”
In fact, Jase said that Phil—who shares adult children Jase, Willie Robertson, Jep Robertson and Alan Robertson with wife Kay Robertson, as well as daughter Phyllis Thomas from a past affair—wants to return to his regular activities, but his condition presents both physical and mental hurdles.
