Uncle Si of Duck Dynasty has faced his fair share of health problems over the years. Heโ€™s undergone open heart surgery and has experienced breathing issues. Thatโ€™s why it was extra concerning when he contracted COVID-19 in February 2021.

โ€œ[Si] shared with us, he thought it was the end,โ€ Siโ€™s nephew, Willie, relayed on an episode of his familyโ€™s Facebook Watch show At Home with the Robertsons. Were it not for members of the family really being with him and encouraging him, Iโ€™m not sure he would have made it.โ€

But Si pulled through, although he remained on oxygen for a little while.

In June of this year, Uncle Si shared he was getting prepared for lung surgery. He shared this information in a post on social media, saying:

โ€œI had some tests in Houston. There are a few more things we have to do, but it looks like Iโ€™m approved for lung surgery. Then Iโ€™ll be able to talk your ears off with even more stories, all guaranteed to be 95% true!โ€

Si opened up about his then-upcoming operation in episode 138 of the Duck Call Room podcast. The episodeโ€™s description on YouTube read, โ€œSi is gearing up for lung surgery, and heโ€™s absolutely fascinated by the procedure.โ€

โ€œThe doc says surgery went great. Iโ€™m ready to get back at it, Jack!โ€ Uncle Si captioned a picture that shows him resting in his hospital bed. โ€œThanks for all the prayers and support. It means the world to us.โ€œ
