TV personality Ed McMahon has been hospitalized for pneumonia, bone cancer and various other medical issues. Reports have surfaced saying that McMahon has only days to live.
Ed’s publicist, Howard Bragman has released the following statement:
“I’m not a medical doctor, I’m a spin doctor, so I’m not able to give a diagnosis here. But, I can tell you this: I’ve seen many people come up to Ed over the years and say, ‘You were a Marine.’ Ed would look them in the eye and say, ‘I AM a Marine.’ What that means for his current medical challenges is the same thing it’s meant for every challenge he’s faced in life. It means he’s a fighter — not a quitter. ”
“It means he’s confronting it head-on with strength, courage and dignity. I would ask that those who care about Ed say a prayer, remain hopeful and send their good wishes, because Colonel McMahon is still fighting the good fight. Ed, and his family, and friends are looking forward to celebrating his 86th birthday Friday.”
We send our best wishes to Ed and his family.
