The Brown family, stars of Discovery Channel's Alaskan Bush People, has had to deal with some scary health situations ever since they landed on TV screens in 2014. Family matriarch Ami Brown was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in 2017, and was given a 3% chance of survival. She beat the cancer a year later after a grueling treatment of radiation and chemotherapy.

And 14-year-old daughter Rain Brown opened up later that year about her experience with depression, explaining on Instagram how she had been struggling with "depression, life, and some teen girl probs too."

For the past few days I’ve been struggling with some things, such as my depression, life, and some teen girl probs too (ya know a broken nail😏💅) and I couldn’t figure out why I was in such bad shape I stayed in bed for about four days with minor aches and pains and I couldn’t find out a reason, it bothered me so much, I lost any want to be healthy or motivational, I was just a husk, but just now in the middle of the night it occurred to me, sometimes you don’t have to have a reason sometimes you don’t have to be perfect and somedays you just feel like staying in bed and watching old @simplynailogical videos and that’s OKAY! In the time of all this happening I told myself that over and over but it also hit me I had to actually believe it and just let it go and stop being bothered by it, I still feel kinda down and Like being lazy, but that’s alright because my body knows what it needs and if that’s rest I won’t be one to refuse. Stay strong my rainbows and listen to your body and soul they know what you need, don’t let your depression or dark feelings try to make you feel bad or people make you feel bad for doing what you know is right for you❤️🌈 Ps my mom gave me some panaway oil and now my aches feel so much better thanks mommy!!! #staystrong #stayhappy #momsrock #dailyquotes #rainspiration

Now, son Solomon "Bear" Brown is dealing with a health scare of his own. According to People, the 30 year old had to rush to the emergency room after an injury to his eye left him with a scratched cornea. He shared a photo of his hospital bracelet with fans online.

Luckily, Brown is doing well. "He was running through the woods (as usual) and he ran into a branch that injured his eye," a Discovery rep told People. "He went to the hospital and found that he had a scratched cornea. He will be fine."

The TV star also shared an Instagram photo of the eye patch that he'll have to wear for the next few days. However, Brown should be back to hunting, fishing, and running through the forest again in no time. According to the Mayo Clinic, a corneal abrasion usually heals in a day or two.
