Character actor Rondell Sheridan is hospitalized with pancreatitis, also known as inflammation of the pancreas. Sheridan, 66, announced his medical condition in an Instagram video on Wednesday.
The former “That’s So Raven” star and comedian explained that he felt ill while out on the road in April.
Sheridan says doctors initially thought he had an upset stomach and they sent him home. But he returned to the hospital days later, and this time he was diagnosed with pancreatitis.
The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin, which is essential for pushing sugar into the cells to be used for energy in the muscles and organs.
Inflammation of the pancreas is caused by infection, gallstones, chronic alcoholism, or trauma.
Sheridan said he was hospitalized for 9 days and discharged home. But now he’s back in the hospital.
He created a GoFundMe to raise money to pay his hospital bills. So far, he has raised over $27,000 of the $35,000 goal.
Sheridan also appeared in “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Kenan & Kel,” “Cousin Skeeter,” “A Different World,” “Touched by an Angel” and many more TV shows.
