Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren is fine and back home, his wife Kay said Thursday, following a hospital visit for tingling in his arms and hands.
He attended the Anaheim Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast this morning,” Anne Krumm, a Saddleback Church official, said. “They’re doing some more tests but for now he’s good to go.”
On Tuesday, Warren wrote an email to his congregation asking for their prayers for a “quick and accurate diagnosis and a fast remedy,” according to the Orange County Register.
The Orange County Register said Warren wrote, “Last night I started experiencing pain down both my arms and numbness in all my fingers, so I decided to have it checked out at a hospital.”
He added, “Currently, the doctor’s diagnostic guess is that an inner ear virus I picked up last week may have spread to the nerves in my neck and radiated down my arms. But that’s just a guess until they do a full day of tests. This means they’re keeping me at the hospital today and overnight.”
Warren’s hospitalization meant he had to cancel a scheduled Vision Night planned for this week. The Orange County Register reported that he was released from the hospital on Wednesday.
“I’m disappointed by this delay since I am super excited about what I have to share at Vision Night,” he wrote. “But I learned a long time ago to always go with the flow and trust God when plans get messed up. His timing is always best.”
You write so honestly about this. Thanks for sharing!
