Morris Foster, member of East Texas, TX:
Ken
Burgin and family would like to thank you all so much for your prayers and
concern.
Ken
was released from the hospital today, and is convalescing at home.
It is
important that Ken is able to rest and recover. The family
requests no visitors until Wednesday. Those wishing to visit
Wednesday or after are asked to call the Burgin residence,
903-636-9124, first, to verify if Ken is up to a visit.
Please
pray that Ken's blood pressure stays in the ideal range, and that he will have
a thorough and speedy recovery.
Thank
you all again for your outpouring of love, support, and prayers.

Ken Burgin is in very serious condition
as he struggles to recover from his surgery this week to repair his dissected
aorta. This is a very serious open chest surgery.
All things considered,
he is progressing very well, but must be extremely careful not to
compromise his need for rest and recovery.
Ken & Sharon and family GREATLY
APPRECIATE your prayers, concern and visits. God's intervention has
been very obvious.
At this time, the family requests that only
family and close friends visit so that Ken can have the opportunity to recover.
Anyone wishing to email a message
may send it to PATIENTEMAIL@TMFHS.ORG The hospital will
print your email message out and deliver to the Ken's room. Or you
may call 738-2616.
Thank you again for your continued
prayers and concern.

I'm
here at the Mother Francis ICU
waiting room, and wanted to send a current update to everyone.
They
plan to keep Ken in ICU until
tomorrow so they can monitor his blood pressure, etc. They are keeping
his blood pressure below normal, so as to try to avoid any damage to the aorta.
Ken's color, and
vital signs are good. : ) Although this has been a
serious life threatening ordeal and he has been sedated a lot, when awake, Ken
has been his usual mentally sharp self, and has made a lot of very funny observations
and comments.
...He's
his same ole funny self that
we all love so much. : )
Thank
you all so very much for your prayers, support and concern. They are
appreciated so much by Ken, his family and his friends.

From Ken Treybig, pastor, East Texas & Texarkana, TX
I just received a phone call from Morris
and Linda Foster asking for an urgent prayer request to be sent out. Their good
friend Ken Burgin is in the hospital in Tyler (Mother Francis I believe). He
went in this afternoon after having some terrible pains in his neck and chest.
They just diagnosed it as a ruptured Aorta and are rushing him to surgery as
quickly as possible. Obviously the condition is extremely life-threatening, and
even the surgery carries a considerable risk, so the Fosters would appreciate
your prayers for Ken.
