continue to have therapy at home, and I feel that he can have a very good recovery."

During his hospital stay, Mr. Graham had daily physical therapy and took frequent walks to rebuild his strength. He often stopped to talk with hospital staff members and other patients and their families in nearby rooms.

"I am grateful for the wonderful care that I have received at Mission Hospitals," Mr. Graham told his staff upon discharge. "I have been a patient at many hospitals and I have never had better care anywhere in the world. I am amazed at the staff's efficiency and compassion. I actually don't want to leave. But as I do, I want to also express my appreciation for the support and prayers of so many people for me during this time."

Four of Mr. Graham's adult children have been able to visit him during his hospitalization. His son, Franklin Graham, President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, saw his father before and after his trip to Ecuador, where he led the Festival de Esperanza (Festival of Hope) on August 23-25. His daughters, Gigi Graham-Foreman, Anne Graham Lotz, and Ruth Graham, have all visited, and his son, Ned Graham, who lives in Washington State, has kept in close touch with his father by telephone.

During his stay, Mr. Graham kept up with current events on television and in the newspapers, and enjoyed reading cards and notes from friends and associates. His staff reports that his appetite has been excellent and that he remained in good spirits and fully alert throughout his hospitalization and treatments.

Mr. Graham, who is 88, lost his wife of 64 years, Ruth Bell Graham, on June 14, 2007.
