Phoebe Hospitalized
Reports about Phoebe suffering a brain hemorrage are appearing today (Jan. 22, 2010.) The report says she is expected to make a full recovery. I'll keep an eye on the news about this. Here's what it said on her Facebook page:
This is Sue Cameron, Phoebe's manager. She has suffered an aneurysm and a stroke. Her surgery went very well, but this is a difficult time. We don't know how much damage she has sustained, but she is responding to treatment strongly, and the doctors are hoping for a complete recovery. All prayers and good...
