I wanted to put up a picture of Ed when he was younger, glory days.
Ed is in ICU and his condition is "extremely serious." As one person close to him put it -- "It's not great, to say the least."
We've learned Ed McMahon has been hospitalized for nearly a month with pneumonia and other medical problems.
We're also told McMahon's condition is "serious" which is pretty obvious given his age -- 85 -- and the fact he has pneumonia.
I grew up listening to Ed's unmistakable voice and watching him on Johnny Carson. My dad would watch that show religiously and I think he's just great, Mr. Publisher's Clearing House rep and all. I'm hoping he can make it through this. Sending positive energy Ed's way.

Sad. :( I know he's had a variety of medical issues over the last few years and hope he recovers soon from his latest illness.

Ed McMahon was exposed to high levels of toxigenic fungi (MOLD) in his home and was treated by my physician.
His current condition of pneumonia is absolutely consistent with mold exposure, as are his ongoing immune-related symptoms.
People laughed and late night comedians made fun of Mr. McMahon when he claimed mold exposure, and again when his mansion would not sell do to mold.
America -- are you FINALLY ready to take the epidemic-level of mold-exposure in our country to task? Are you finally ready to clean up our schools where countless students are being exposed to the worst indoor air in HUMAN HISTORY?
Please insist that congress pass legislation to make our growing indoor mold crisis a matter of the highest health priority. Mold-related medical conditions (known or unknown) are a significant part of our nation's health costs and general state of malaise, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and countless other growing mystery illnesses.
Excessive and toxigenic Indoor Mold is no longer a subject we can allow insurance to suppress and lie about to control their expenses. It is a matter of national security, not a joke for late night descendants of Johnny and Ed.
