BRIAN BEGDORIAN UPDATE. July 14, 2014 ? 03:00 am EST
It is with great sorrow that I write this report to inform you of Brian's condition.
Brian suffered a heart attack in the early morning of July 5, 2014 at home in Westland, MI. Brian's loving wife Victoria found him and his son Adam administered CPR until the ambulance arrived. He went to Oakwood Annapolis Hospital in Wayne, MI, ICU. After more than a week of extensive testing while on life support Brian will soon be moved from ICU to hospice. The timeframe for the move to hospice care is unknown at this time, possibly Tuesday July 15. I will update you as soon as I receive a firm day and time.
During this past week Brian's wife Victoria, their sons Adam and Ryan, their daughters Samantha and Danielle, his brother Gary and his mother Ann have been holding vigil at the hospital hoping for Brian to show signs of recovery. Friends far and wide have been praying, visiting and offering nutritious meals. Victoria has been relaying information to me and I have been reporting through social media, texts and phone calls. I have done my best to only report accurate information as it has been spoken to me, often in emotional dialog with Victoria on the phone. She has said several times each day how very much they appreciate your outpouring of love and support. Today she continues to ask for prayer support. Victoria has to make all the decisions about life support, hospice and is in the process of that now. PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL THE BEGDORIAN'S.
Hospital visiting hours for ICU and hospice are 24/7.

Victoria has stated that ALL are welcome to visit. Your prayers, love and support are appreciated so very VERY much! It has been a tremendous help to all of them knowing they are not alone.
I have received reports this week of visitors who say Brian looks "good". They have talked to him, held his hand, kissed his forehead. Brian has had his music played for him and his family and friends near him this past week.
Victoria has asked that anyone who may visit Brian and find that family members are not present for some reason to PLEASE LEAVE A NOTE AND CONTACT INFORMATION ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO THE BEGDORIAN CHILDREN ABOUT YOUR LOVE FOR BRIAN, THEIR FATHER. SAY A FEW WORDS PLEASE. YOUR WORDS WILL BE TESTIMONIES OF LOVE THAT THE BEGDORIAN CHILDREN CAN HOLD DEAR AS PART OF THEIR FATHERS LEGACY.
At some point the family will make an announcement of a celebratory event honoring Brian's life.
I love you all and appreciate your love for our brother and dear friend Brian Begdorian.
