Rene- My thoughts and prayers are with you both. If there's anything I or the club can do for you or Bob, please don't hesitate to call. If you feel Bob is up to callers or visitors, let us know, and we'll be there.

One of the main arteries to his brain (L) comletely closed causing the stroke. Tfhe R side of the body was affected. His has good strength, mobility and balance but his right arm and face were affected. As of this morning his strength and feeling in the arm were returning, however his face has not, which affects his speech. Surgery is out of the question since the artery is 100% blocked, so he will be on blood thinners to keep things moving through the remaining 3 arteries. He is trying to speak, but his speech is a bit garbled. Obviously, he will not be able to attend the Las Vegas event. I thought you would like to know, and please raise a glass of homebrew to a full recovery for Bob. Once his blood thinner medication is stabilized, I will be able to bring him home, probably Wed or Thurs.
