Former Saturday Night Live star and Chatham resident Chris Kattan had two emergency surgeries Sunday and Monday after falling ill in Springfield, Mo.<\/p>\n

Kattan, 52, performed several shows at the Blue Room Comedy Club, but was rushed to the emergency room after being diagnosed with Streptococcus pneumoniae.<\/p>\n

Maria Libri, Kattan’s girlfriend and former local on-air personality, said he was expecting to be released from the hospital on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Dick Austin, former Sangamon County board chairman and top GSA administrator dies at 74<\/p>\n

She said Kattan called her Friday and was short of breath, but he soldiered through his shows and was due to fly back to Springfield, Ill. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Before his flight, Libri said Kattan went to an urgent care facility where an X-ray showed his lungs filled with fluid. Kattan was admitted to a hospital intensive care unit and had surgery Sunday night.<\/p>\n
