Phil Robertson's health deteriorates amid Alzheimer's battle

In the United States, Phil Robertson, well-known as a star on the television show 'Duck Dynasty,' has faced significant health challenges following his diagnosis of the early stages of Alzheimer's disease in December. His family, including sons Jase and Al Robertson, and cousin Zach Dasher, provided a health update in an episode of their podcast, 'Unashamed with the Robertson Family,' emphasizing that Phil's condition has worsened since the initial diagnosis. Jase revealed that Phil is 'not good,' reflecting a grim outlook on his father's mental health. As the family navigates Phil's declining health, they also respond to other medical issues, including a serious blood disorder and complications from a recent back fracture. Will Robertson, Phil's son, highlighted that Phil is dealing with multiple ailments, which further complicates his situation, including possible mini-strokes that may have resulted from his blood disorder. The family is dedicating themselves to ensuring Phil's comfort during this difficult period, recognizing the emotional toll it takes on them. The ongoing battle with Alzheimer's has been particularly hard on Phil's family. Jase shared a touching moment where their cousin, Zach, broke down after visiting Phil, illustrating the emotional strain that comes with witnessing a loved one gradually decline. Jase also noted that they are trying to manage their daily experiences, often compartmentalizing their feelings as a coping mechanism. In addition to concerns for Phil, there are also updates about Miss Kay Robertson, Phil's wife, who was recovering in the hospital from an infection resulting from a fall. Jase expressed relief at her improvement after initially fearing the worst. The Robertson family is presently grappling with multiple health crises, making their situation all the more challenging as they seek to care for both Phil and Miss Kay amid the stress of their health conditions.
