Duck Dynasty's Jep Robertson Jokes About Being 'Hard to Kill' After Suffering a Seizure
Duck Dynasty's Jep Robertson was hospitalized over the weekend after he suffered a seizure while hunting deer last week.
It is unclear when the seizure occurred. What is clear is that Phil Robertson's youngest son did not let his condition get in the way of his humor. He tweeted a picture of himself in a hospital bed impersonating action actor Steven Seagal.
Jep captioned the picture with the words "Just like Steven Seagal, I'm Hard to kill."
The 36-year-old was with his brother, Willie, when the epileptic fit occurred. The family released this statement explaining the event:
"Earlier this week while deer hunting, Jep suffered from a seizure. Thankfully, he was in the stand with friends, and Willie was at the hunting camp when it occurred so he was by his side in a matter of minutes.
Jep was rushed to the hospital and received immediate treatment. He is doing well now, but is still in the hospital for additional tests and observation, and is being treated with antibiotics to cover a range of possible infections believed to have caused the seizure.
"Our family would like to thank everyone for their love and support and ask that you keep Jep, Jessica and their children in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
Jep tweeted Saturday: "Well I about died this past Sunday. … I'm doing much better now. Thanks for all the prayers!"
Jep and Jessica are parents to four children: Lily, Merritt, Priscilla and River. EOnline.com reported that the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary on Oct. 7.
Jessica tweeted her appreciation to fans, by saying, "Jep definitely gave us a scare this week, but he's doing much better! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!"
