Charlie Sheen skipped the glitzy Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) on Saturday night (23Jan10) to tend to his sick wife.
The Two and a Half Men star rushed to visit his partner Brooke Mueller when she was admitted to hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday (20Jan10) suffering from pneumonia linked to a recent operation to remove her wisdom teeth.
The actor was turned away because of a court order designed to keep the pair apart following their Christmas Day (25Dec09) fight, which landed him in jail in Aspen, Colorado.
A judge subsequently relaxed the protection order to allow Sheen to visit his wife in hospital, and he has been spending all of his time tending to her needs, according to Mueller's mother Moira Fiore.
She tells People.com, "Charlie has been great, very attentive and nice to Brooke. He is not even going to the SAG Awards... He wants to be with her.
"Brooke's liver and kidneys are better, but doctors are concerned that she still has pneumonia. She is weak and trying to blow into a plastic tube. She is having trouble doing that."
A hearing to review the protection order was postponed until 8 February (10) after Mueller fell ill.
