BREAKING: RONNY IN HOSPITAL AFTER SURGERY

Last night, while with a group of friends, Ronny and the group were caught in a verbal exchange with another group near Downtown Santa Barbara. A scuffle ensued, and Ronny's group ran, while Ronny was left behind getting jumped by the other group.

Ronny was stabbed three times in the back.

He went into a nearby establishment, where personnel phoned 911. Ronny was taken to Cottage Hospital where exploratory surgery was performed to determine if any vital organs had been damaged.

He exited surgery at 7:45 this morning, at which point he gave his friend Andrea permission to phone Marina and Gramma Connie.

All signs are that his vital organs were not hit. Word is that he has a slash wound from his lower rib to the front of his abdomen. He is in a lot of pain, but is otherwise doing fine.

Close call, folks. Let's be glad it wasn't more serious, and keep praying for all of our safety every day.

UPDATE: The abdomen wound is actually an incision across the front of his abdomen made by the surgeon-- this is how they went in to check on the status of his internal organs.

UPDATE: Word is that Ronny will be at Cottage for about a week.
