'That's So Raven' dad Rondell Sheridan hospitalized, asks fans for help with medical bills
Comedian and actor Rondell Sheridan has been hospitalized due to severe pancreatitis, the "That's So Raven" star announced Wednesday on Instagram, and is asking fans for help with his medical bills and expenses.
Sheridan said he fell ill while on the road on April 10, paying a visit to the hospital where they thought it was "gastric."
When he was home on April 12, he immediately went to the hospital and was diagnosed with pancreatitis after undergoing many tests.
Sheridan said he was in the hospital for 9 days, but still posting from a hospital bed on Wednesday.
"I got released and I thought I was on the road to recovery," he said. "My pancreas is inflamed and there's not much you can do about it but just wait for the inflammation to go down."
A GoFundMe for Sheridan has raised over $59,000 as of Thursday.
'I didn't realize that I was going to be, and will be, out of work for quite some time,' Sheridan said.
Sheridan, 66, is best known for playing Raven Symoné's father, Victor Baxter, on the Disney Channel hit show "That So Raven," and in spin offs "Cory in the House" and "Raven's Home."
Sheridan recently appeared on Symoné's podcast with her wife Miranda Maday, Tea Time with Raven & Miranda, on April 3, only a week before his first hospitalization.
"He's been my TV dad since I was 15 years old," Symoné said in a clip of the episode.
Jake Thomas, who also appeared in "Cory in the House" alongside Sheridan, commented on the post, "Get well soon Rondell!"
Sheridan has been out of work since April 12 and will mostly remain bedridden during recovery, according to the GoFundMe.
"If we can all come together to help him financially for his medical and monthly bills while his body heals, I know this will be one giant stress we can collectively take off his shoulders, so that he can focus on resting, recovering, and healing," the GoFundMe description read. "Every little bit helps and he appreciates you immensely."

Disney Channel star says having kids is 'narcissistic'
Disney Channel star says having kids is 'narcissistic' Raven-Symoné has been married to Miranda Maday since 2020 but the couple do not have any children together and the former Disney Channel star has some strong views on the subject Raven-Symoné says becoming a parent is a 'narcissistic' thing to do (Image: BANG Showbiz ) Raven-Symoné has controversially labelled becoming a parent a "narcissistic" act. The 39-year-old actress, who has been married to Miranda Maday since 2020, doesn't have any children of her own. During a conversation with The Chi creator Lena Waithe on the Tea Time with Raven and Miranda podcast they discussed why anyone would choose to bring children into the world. Lena asked: "Whenever someone says to me they want to have a baby, or they want to be a parent I think my first question is: 'Why?' To which Raven responded: "It's a narcissistic act." Lena simply agreed: "True." In the same discussion the former That's So Raven star was exploring the concepts of labels and communities with Lena. Article continues below She said that abandoning "toxic mentalities" to embrace the wider world is the only way to "learn" as an individual. "When you leave that toxic mentality you're integrating yourself into the world and that's better for me," Raven added. "I love the fact that we are on a planet with so many types of thought processes and so many different types of cultures. We can learn from every single culture, from every single religion, and if you're just stuck in one group all the time you are never gonna grow. Article continues below "I have gotten in trouble a lot with things that I have said but that is ultimately what my brain wants to do. I want to travel to every single country and say: 'Oh, you cook chicken better than me, I'm gonna eat your chicken too.' Yay me! Y'all know who cooks that fried chicken, it's not just black people. This s*** is delicious. "I do wanna go to Africa and see the beautiful with the red clay on their skin, I wanna go to India and see the beautiful women with yellow clay on their skin. "There's so many ways and people to learn from and if you just stay in that circle and condemn your people for venturing out then that is toxic."
