Dan Hoggart is Ill

This from an email written and sent out from Jana Childers today:

Dear Friends,

This morning I visited Professor Dan Hoggatt in the hospital where he is being treated for a pulmonary embolism. He is resting comfortably and being well supported by friends and family. Testing is going on to determine the best course of treatment, but we hope that Dan will be allowed to go home in the next few days. Dr. Hoggatt is very grateful for the community’s concern and prayers, however he has been advised that visitors and phone calls are not appropriate at this time. If you would like to send a note or card to his home address, he will, of course, be very glad to receive them there. But please do resist the (understandable) temptation to pick up the phone or stop by. As you can imagine, if all of us who love Dan did that, he would get no rest at all.

Dan is now on campus - call or email me or anyone else for his address. I deleted it from the note - afterall, this is still a public web page...

Dr. Charles Marks and Dr. Greg Love will be keeping in close touch with Dr. Hoggatt. Those who would like to receive updates on Dan’s condition are welcome to contact Charles or Greg – or, of course, the Dean’s Office.

For many of us the news of Dan’s illness is very disturbing. The illness he is struggling with is a serious one. However, Dan has asked me to reassure you that he is in good spirits, has confidence in his doctors and is buoyed by your prayers.

We will let you know how things progress as we get further news.
Meanwhile, thank you very much for your concern.

Dean of the Seminary
