I talked to Carol this afternoon. There has not been any improvement in Rod's condition. He cannot communicate, his eyes are mostly closed, he was able to hold Carol's hand using his left hand, but is paralyzed on his right side. Carol said the doctors have told her once Rod is able to leave the hospital he most likely will need to enter a hospice care facility. Although she is very sad with Rod suffering a stroke, she has know for a long time he has been dealing with heart issues. She said she felt fortunate that Rod's brother(who is married to Carol's sister) along with their daughter Annie, and I think 2 grandchildren are in the area.
