Time continues to move on for all of us and if we are fortunate to live long enough, there may come a time when we need to make a change. It seems as if Phil Robertson, and his wife, Kay have made such a change.
Phil and K Robertson’s sons shared some information in a recent episode of the Unashamed podcast. Since Phil Robertson, 78, was diagnosed with a blood disorder and dementia last year, he has been struggling with health problems. He’s had some mini-strokes and has gone through back surgeries that reduced his quality of life.
Jase spoke about the back procedure his father had undergone which was number six or seven.
Al said: “It seems a little hard to come out from under the anesthesia every time.”
Jase then added: “He seemed in a fog for a few days and kinda doing a little bit bizarre things.
“He’s got two things working against him, physically and then mentally, and so they’re compounding each other. We’re doing our best to make him comfortable.
“I think they both realize that we’re in the passing the legacy down phase. There’s really no cure for my dad’s condition. We’re not underestimating the power of God. He can do anything He wants at any time … but where things are now with my dad, there just seems to be no way to reverse what’s going on.”
Al mentioned that even though Phil has gone through some serious health problems, he continues to find a new purpose in life.
He said: “He still has a sense of purpose in watching out for mom. She had a pretty bad year last year, physically had a lot of issues. I think he feels like that’s part of the reason he has to hang in there and hang on. Because he helps take care of her, and she helps take care of him.”
Phil and K Robertson called the 2400 square-foot house in rural Louisiana home for many years. We often saw inside of the home, as that is where much of Duck Dynasty was filmed.
