AceShowbiz - Jep Robertson was released from hospital on Monday, October 27 after suffering a seizure while on deer hunting, TMZ reported. According to the site, doctors still do not know what triggered the attack earlier this month.
Jep reportedly doesn't have much energy and doctors will be keeping him on medications. The youngest son of Phil Robertson may also need further testing. The site claims that "Duck Dynasty" producers will allow him to get more rest before returning to filming.
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."
