"We now have Phil and Kay back together. It has been fantastic," Jase said in the April 11 episode.
While Phil has been in "professional care" as Jase put it in a previous episode, Miss Kay is recovering in the hospital from an infection following a cut she got from a fall.
Al added, "He's been so much calmer since she came back."
Jase explained that family and friends have been visiting, with Miss Kay's visitors dubbed "Kay's Kingdom" and Phil having his own respective "kingdom" of visitors.
"They're in a facility where there are other people, but they have their own little private room. It's great. And so, they're helping each other, so that's been positive," Jase said.
He added that with a large extended family and network, "the challenge has been, we have so many people coming up there, we're being disruptive. We'll have to address that later."
Jill Dasher, wife of Robertson cousin Zach Dasher, was on the podcast as well, and shared a funny story about Phil recognizing the fact that his wife of almost 60 years hasn't been able to have her hair dyed, asking, "What's Kay got going on [with] that half-devil hair?"
Jase confirmed Phil notices Miss Kay's typically dark hair looks different, and that they bicker a little like old times.
"We're making him comfortable, and we're doing the best we can. I think that's just what you do," Jase said.
He first shared the downturn in his father's health in December, saying on the podcast that Phil has the "early stages of Alzheimer's."
"It's like accelerated, and it's causing problems with his entire body. And he has early stages of Alzheimer's. So, if you put those things together, he's really not doing well. He's struggling," Jase said at the time.
The remarkably preserved body of an early modern saint, St. Teresa of Avila, has been exhibited in Spain months after being found "miraculously incorrupt" last year.
