Ernst Jørgensen Hospitalized (Updated)

July 27, 2005 | People
The Danish Elvis expert, who is responsible for the Sony/BMG and FTD Elvis releases, has been hospitalized due to a tickbite that have caused a Borrelia infection. Normally that is not a serious thing as long as you get medication for it, but due to the fact that his body rejects the medication the situation is a bit critical. We wish Ernst the very best and a speedy recovery.

Updated July 27: The E.I.N website added an update quoting Bill Burk

Ersnt is said to be recovering nicely from Lyme Disease after-effects in Denmark. No surgery necessary. EJ's status on being in Memphis for Elvis Week is questionable at this time. Family asks that this subject not be overly-discussed; that EJ's doing OK.

Hej Ernst! We are red, we are white, we are Danish dynamite, Or in other words: I'm proud that a Danish guy means so much to so many people in the universe of Elvis Presley and his fans. Get well soon so you can "Follow That Dream" we all have to present Elvis at his best. Cause that's what you do!!
