Brother Ken

Brother Ken is 82 years old and has dementia. Susan, his wife, and Ken live out at seven mile and have a ministry there. Susan is in her early 60's and suffers from seizures and can't really use her left hand for much.
I have been on the phone quite a bit with Susan this past week over the progressing disease that her husband has. Things were getting out of hand and he was getting way worse. She can't care for him alone!
Her usually town day came around on Tuesday and she went to Spanish lookout and her to San Ignacio to do her errands.
She stopped by to see us and received a phone call that her husband was missing for 2 hours and couln't be found.
We all prayed and Susan left to head home with her helper, Rudy. They looked for him and asked for help looking for Ken and the Menonites searched all night in the rain. Ken was found lying on the ground about 22 hours after he left. He was alive but according to the folks that found him, barely. They carried him out in a hammock and took him directly to hospital. Believe it or not, he was hypothermic because of lying in the mud and rain all night. Apparently he had fallen and couldn't get up again. To top it off he had bee stings, ant bites and other insect bites all over his body.
We drove up to the hospital to see him and he didn't look good at all. The doctor on shift was so nonchalant about it. Finally, they got him on IV antibiotics and he awoke last night and talked and was awake this morning eating! Thank God that he didn't die out in the bush. He was about 2 miles from his home is very rugged terrain.
I talked with Susan this afternoon and she said he was doing better. We continue to pray because we aren't sure if his body is just rallying for a day or so or if he will truly recover.
Ken told his wife this morning that he saw Jesus........
He is a very godly man when in his right mind. Ken is a very smart man, he was an architect, I believe.
So the past couple of days have also included this terrible scenario of not knowing or thinking he might not be alive.
