Jep Robertson has been released from hospital after suffering a seizure while on a deer hunting trip.
According to TMZ, the youngest of patriarch Phil Robertson’s children left the hospital Monday, although doctors still don’t know what caused last week’s attack.
Jep’s representative previously explained his condition in a statement to Us Weekly. “Earlier this week while deer hunting, Jep suffered from a seizure,” the statement read, “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 he is being treated with antibiotics to cover a range of possible infections believed to have caused the seizure,” the statement continued, “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 later tweeted, “Well, I about died this past Sunday…I’m doing much better now. Thanks for all the prayers! #seizuresuck #gladtobealive.”
