From the Sun-Times web site:
Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert was in serious condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital Sunday following an emergency operation to repair complications from an earlier cancer surgery.
Ebert's vital signs appeared to be good after the hours-long operation, said Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper, co-host of the "Ebert & Roeper" movie review show.
On June 16, Ebert underwent surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. Around 8 p.m. Saturday, a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation.
Ebert, 64, has had four cancer surgeries, including two on his salivary gland in 2003.
Here's hoping for a quick recovery for Roger.
