The wife of R&B singer Usher is recovering in a hospital at Sao Paolo after suffering a cardiac arrest shortly before undergoing plastic surgery. The representative of the doctor who was to perform the procedure has confirmed the news on Thursday.
Sources have thrown more light on the news of Usher. According to them, Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman, added that Tameka Raymond has checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital last Friday for a "simple liposuction."
Dastry continued that Usher’s wife Raymond has continued to suffer from a cardiac arrest while being anesthetized for the procedure "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage." She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the Intensive-Care Unit (ICU). This is a procedure which, according to Dastry, was "absolutely normal" and performed in order to "avoid unnecessary complications."
On the same day Raymond was transferred to Sao Paulo's high-class and better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital where she is recovering.
However Dastry has declined to say anything in details.
At Sirio-Libanes, a spokeswoman also only said that Raymond remains hospitalized. She explained that the family of Raymond has made the request that no information regarding her condition should be divulged by the hospital.
Usher was supposed to perform at pre-Grammy party of music mogul Clive Davis that was held last Saturday. However he went to Brazil to be with his wife.
Thirty year old R&B star and his wife have tied their knots in August 2007. They have 2 young sons, 2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 2-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond. |
