Rickey Jackson underwent a one hour procedure to alleviate pressure on his brain this morning at Tulane Medical Center and he is resting comfortably.
Rickeyah Jackson, who is Rickey’s daughter, was present with him before he went into surgery and remains with him in post-operative intensive care.
“The procedure was a success,” Rickeyah said. “He is resting comfortably, very alert and talking like himself with nurses, doctors and all around him. I want to stress that he is doing fine and that any reports otherwise simply are not accurate.”
Jackson recently had a fall, hitting his head which caused a subdural hematoma.
