I've got another update:
He's still in the stroke unit, but he is getting some therapy for speech, swallowing and range of motion. He needs more intensive therapy, but he’s not ready to be released to a rehab facility yet. They are going to do another swallow test today which hopefully will show improvement because he has been having trouble with the feeding tube and IV.
There is a lot of blockage in his carotid arteries, they don't want to do anything now, but hope to open one of them up with surgery or a stent in about a month.
He seems to be trying to say some words, but it will take time.
Our FRiend has been bringing their Shih Tzu to the hospital to cheer him up and that seems to be helping.
Thanks to all for the continued prayers and God Bless

Thanks for the update! I like the idea of bringing in a dog to cheer him up.
Continuing prayers!

Thank you, Lord, for Your powerful healing. Help us to accept Your timing whether progress is made quickly or slowly. We know that Your ways are always best. Grant patience and endurance for this trial and may this family emerge victorious as they trust in You. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

EXCELLENT NEWS UPDATE! Our FRiend's husband is off the feeding tube and is now eating pureed foods.
He is being released from the hospital either today or tomorrow and will be going to the finest rehab facility in the area.
Thanks again for all of your prayers!
God Bless
