(NEXSTAR) – 'Duck Dynasty' star Miss Kay Robertson, the wife of the late Phil Robertson and the matriarch of the 'Duck Dynasty' family, is suffering from poor health in the wake of her husband's passing last month, her son has revealed.
Willie Robertson broke the news in an interview with the USA Today Network earlier this week, saying his mother 'is not in the best of health.'
'We're trying to help her out as much as we can,' Willie Robertson said.

As noted by USA Today, the Robertson family had discussed Kay Robertson's health issues in recent months, including during an April episode of the 'Unashamed' podcast.
'Tell you the truth, it hasn't been good,' Jase Robertson said at the time, discussing his parents' health issues. 'But for my mom, it's been a lot better in the past week, because she was really not doing good. She got an infection from a fall from a cut that had happened earlier.
Jase Robertson added that his mother was hospitalized and undergoing rehab at the time, and struggling to eat on her own, which forced him to think that 'maybe this is it.'
Speaking with TV Insider, Korie Robertson (Willie Robertson's wife) said her mother-in-law had been 'struggling with a lot of falls.'
'I think she forgets that she can't really walk, so she'll fall, and that's been hard to deal with,' she told the outlet.
She's also suffering from what Willie Robertson called 'depression' after the loss of her husband in late May.
'She lost her partner of 60 years,' Willie Robertson told USA Today.

Kay Robertson makes an appearance on the new series, Willie Robinson confirmed.
Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the 'Duck Dynasty' clan and a fixture of the original series, died in May after a battle with Alzheimer's. He was 79.
