Since the news of Phil Robertson’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis has come out, the Duck Dynasty star’s family has often kept fans updated about his current health conditions. While trying to get a good understanding of Phil’s condition, a recent statement from the family discussed a variety of issues Phil is, or could be, facing. However, the family also shared some hopeful moments during the discussion.
Phil Robertson’s Star’s Sons Have Talked About His Condition
Phil Robertson is a businessman known for the Duck Commander company. Many fans became familiar with the Robertson family as they were the focus of the Duck Dynasty reality series.
Phil’s son Jase originally shared the news of his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis on the “Unashamed with the Robertson Family” podcast. At the time, he revealed his father was in the early stages of the disease and was already having problems holding conversations.
Another of Phil’s sons, Willie, recently spoke with Fox News about his father. During the discussion, he also revealed that his father was dealing with a whole list of ailments.
According to the publication, Willie shared that Phil’s “battling a lot of different things right now.” He continued, “He’s got a blood disorder, and then he’s got the mental issues that could be early [on-set] Alzheimer’s … and probably some mini-strokes because of his blood.”
Willie noted that the family regularly keeps on eye on Phil’s condition. However, he suggested the family is still trying to figure out just everything he’s going through.
As he noted, “And so, it could be some stroke stuff happening, that has happened. So, we’re still checking on all that.” He continued that, “It’s hard to determine exactly what these causes are, especially with early signs, it’s hard to determine brain damage from stroke or is that Alzheimer’s?”
Willie Noted One Of The Biggest Issues His Father Is Facing
According to Willie, one of the bigger issues impacting Phil are back problems. As he explained, “He’s fractured his back and that’s where the pain’s at. So, he’s kind of battling many different things at the same time.” He noted, “Especially in any situation where he’s getting up from the seated position or laying position, [it’s] super stressful for him, too, and very painful.”
It was also noted that the Phil’s family history could help to determine what he’s going through. Willie noted, “I know that’s in their family. Other siblings he has have had some of the same type of things as well. This has happened with just about all of his siblings that have passed away.”

As previously reported, Jase had mentioned his father has suffered a lack of appetite with his health concerns. Willie suggested this could be due to an “enlarged spleen, which could be pushing on the stomach, and which could cause some of the appetite things.”
However, Willie shared a more hopeful note: “I just got a message from him for me to bring him more food. He seems to like my cooking.” Specifically, Willie noted making hamburgers and crawfish dishes for his father.
