'Duck' star's big secret
'Duck Dynasty's' Mary Kate Robertson reveals family's decade-long struggle with Lyme disease. The college student, who is married to Willie and Korie Robertson's eldest son John Luke, said she decided to share her story to help those who are "battling a chronic illness" to know "you are not alone." The 21-year-old said she, her mom and her sister were later diagnosed with the disease around the time Robertson was in middle school. Her family struggled to find a doctor or a treatment to help them but one particular treatment went wrong and left her dad "legally blind for a while." The reality star said, "It’s affected every aspect of life. My parents’ marriage and my own marriage." She revealed her father had suffered so much that she "heard my dad ask to go on to heaven countless times."
