you SO did the right thing to get him to the hospital immediately! that first hour is the most important, and most people don't know that. by getting him in so quickly, you probably saved his functionality, if not his very life.
stroke goes ignored so many times because people think that they can "wait it out" or "it will go away". it won't happen that way.
you all did good!!! please, folks, go here and read for a few minutes. the life you save could be your own--or the very precious one of someone you love!
