Damon Little Scheduled for Heart Surgery

Baltimore, MD: Quartet gospel music legend Damon Little, who is best known for hit songs such as “You Can’t Straddle The Fence,” “Do Right,” or his recent hit, “Make A Way,” has been scheduled for emergency heart surgery to take place Monday, April 22nd in the Baltimore, MD area.

According to Little: “As I ministered last week in the Carolinas, and was preparing for dates in Florida and Overseas; I noticed three times that I experienced shortness of breath. I had no chest discomfort but I remained concerned and mindful of the changes that were occurring in my body. The spirit led me to go home instead of to Florida and get myself checked out with a doctor.
      
“I went to the emergency room thinking I had a sinus infection and when I entered the emergency room, yes saints I lied—I told them my chest was hurting so that I could be seen quicker, the EKG was taken and came back great. I was told to go back to the waiting room but I then informed the nurses that my chest was really beginning to bother me.  I was then escorted away for a cat scan that found fluid in my lungs. This was the first sign of congestive heart failure.

“Saints, I am in the hospital where I will be treated by top doctors and you guys know I am always encouraging everyone—so I am taking this opportunity to encourage all my singers, fans, friends and family to take better care of yourselves. . . I am asking my pastors, promoters, radio stations, fans, family, friends, and colleagues, to lift me up in prayer and most importantly, ask the lord to `Make A Way’ for me, my wife and family.”
