Charlie Sheen’s wife was admitted to a hospital Wednesday with a high fever and an infection following oral surgery, which might delay again a court hearing in a domestic-violence case involving the actor, her attorney said.
Lawyer Yale Galanter said Brooke Sheen was running a fever of 105 degrees when she was taken to Sherman Oaks Hospital early Wednesday and placed in the intensive-care unit.
“She has an infection as the result of oral surgery earlier in the week,” Galanter said. “They’re concerned and trying to get it under control.”
Brooke Sheen was at her home in Los Angeles when she developed a dental problem that required oral surgery.
By late Wednesday afternoon, Galanter said she had received heavy doses of antibiotics to control the infection, which was improving, but remained in intensive care.
“She won’t be going home today,” Galanter said.
Meanwhile, Galanter said the prosecutor’s office in Aspen had acquiesced to Charlie Sheen’s request to visit his wife in the hospital. The Sheens are under a court order to stay away from each other.
