Elizabeth Taylor critically ill?
Posted on July 31st, 2008 by Hot Momma
Elizabeth Taylor was reportedly put on a life support machine after suffering congestive heart failure Wednesday evening. That’s if you can believe The National Enquirer. Congestive heart failure is when the heart is too weak to pump blood around the body.
The 76-year-old screen legend was said to have deteriorated after she was initially diagnosed with pneumonia last week, after a bout with the flu.
National Enquirer sources revealed that her children were at her bedside and doctors warned she might not survive. However, her condition is now believed to have improved and she can now breathe unaided.
A source told the tabloid: “The doctors thought they were going to lose her. She’s still very sick, but she’s past the crisis.”
We wish Elizabeth a speedy recovery!!
Update: A statement released by Dick Guttman, her Los Angeles-based publicist, did not say where Taylor was staying, nor did it specify what might have been ailing the 76-year-old actress.
“Ms. Taylor is fine,” the statement read. “Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.”
