Rondell Sheridan, most known for playing Victor Baxter in the Disney Channel sitcom, That’s So Raven, has been hospitalized after being diagnosed with severe pancreatitis.
On Tuesday, the actor posted on Instagram to share a photo from a hospital bed, where he explained that his symptoms dated back to last month.
“On April 10th, I was on the road and got sick. Went to the hospital and they thought it was gastric,” Sheridan said. “I got home on the 12th and immediately went to the hospital at North Ridge and was told it’s pancreatitis. Tons of tests. I was in the hospital for nine days. I got released and thought I was on the road to recovery but… my pancreas is inflamed and there’s not much you can do about it but just wait.”
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, pancreatitis is the swelling or inflammation of the pancreas. Symptoms include: pain in the upper belly that radiates to the back, fever, rapid pulse, upset stomach, and vomiting.
Since being in the hospital, Sheridan revealed that he hasn’t been able to work and created a GoFundMe page in case anyone wanted to donate to his hospital expenses. As of Wednesday afternoon, the page has earned over $28,000 toward the $35,000 goal.
“I didn’t realize I was going to be, and will be, out of work for quite some time,” he said in his Instagram video. “I’m setting up this GoFundMe to help with some of my medical bills and just expenses. If you have anything that you could donate, I’d gladly appreciate it. Thank you so much.”
