He was sent from Baylor Heart Hospital in Plano, Texas, to an unspecified rehabilitation center, Webster said in a statement. "Thanks to all the fans and friends for your continued prayers and support as Randy continues on the road to recovery," Travis' fiancée, Mary Davis, said in an accompanying statement. Travis, 54, was admitted to Baylor Medical Center at McKinney, north of Dallas, on July 7 for a heart condition caused by a virus. He was later transferred to the heart hospital, where he suffered a stroke on July 10 and underwent emergency surgery. On July 15, doctors said Travis had regained consciousness and that his condition had been stabilized. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is known for hits such as "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "Three Wooden Crosses."
