Staying in Sirio-Libanes hospital for 11 days due to cardiac and respiratory arrest, Usher's wife is recently released.
's wife, Tameka Foster, was released from a Sirio-Libanes hospital in Sao Paulo after suffering heart attack shortly before undergoing plastic surgery, as being reported by Associated Press. "She checked out yesterday," a spokesman for the hospital, told E! News on February 18.
Ellen Dastry, a spokeswoman for Silvio Sterman, the doctor who performed the plastic surgery, mentioned that Foster checked into Sao Rafael hospital on February 6 for a simple liposuction and came into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage."
Doctors then placed her in an induced coma at that time to avoid "unnecessary complications". After that, she was transferred to the better-equipped Sirio-Libanes Hospital for recovery.
In order to accompany his wife, the "Burn" singer canceled his performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Gala on February 7 to rush to Brazil. Then, on February 9, his rep confirmed to UsMagazine that Foster was in "stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery."
Usher (30) and Foster (37) were married in August 2007. They have two sons, 15-month-old Usher Raymond V and 2-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond. Foster also has three sons from a prior relationship.
