EXCLUSIVE: ER Star Deezer D Is In ICU Following Heart Surgery
Posted on Jul 14, 2009 @ 07:11PM
Deezer D, the rapper-turned actor who starred as Nurse Malik McGrath for 15 seasons on ER, had surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles to correct the same potentially deadly heart problem that killed John Ritter.
Deezer, whose real name is Dearon Thompson had to have his aorta replaced and a leaking heart valve replaced in a surgery that lasted six hours.
RadarOnline.com exclusively spoke with Deezer last Friday about the procedure.
"He'll be in the ICU for the next two days," a friend of Deezer's told RadarOnline.com. "It's the watch-and-wait period now but if all goes well, he'll be moved to a regular floor for another seven days. Once his cardiologist gives the all clear, he'll be home - but with no more cigars and no strenuous exercise for awhile."
==================================
May he receive all the positive energy he needs during this difficult time...

EXCLUSIVE: Grateful Deezer D Out Of Hospital After Major Heart Surgery
Deezer D is out of the hospital and happy to be alive.
The entertainer, who played Nurse Malik McGrath on NBC's iconic medical drama ER, is out of the hospital after a six-hour surgery last week to correct potentially fatal heart problems (the same that killed funnyman John Ritter six years ago).
The actor, whose real name is Dearon Thompson, told RadarOnline.com, said that his colleagues from the defunct hospital drama were his base when his health problems -- needing an aorta replacement and leaking heart valve fixed -- surfaced.
“Most of the cast from ER supported me -- Eriq La Salle, Noah Wiley were at my bedside before and after my surgery," he said. "Shi McBride came and stayed with me and supported me.”
The actor profusely thanked his fan base for the moral support they provided via cards, letters and flowers.
"Thanks for all prayers and love, the entire experience made God more tangible in my life," he said. "I just can’t explain in words what I felt."
