Indiana Governor Shows Improvement from Stroke

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Indiana Gov. Frank O'Bannon has shown improvement recovering from a massive stroke he suffered earlier this week but remains in critical condition, doctors said on Wednesday.

The 73-year-old, two-term Democrat is breathing better, his vital signs are stable and he can move his arms and legs, said neurosurgeon Wesley Yapor of Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

"These are small but significant improvements," he told reporters.

Woohoo! On his way to recovery!

5. Good News.

Meanwhile the Lt Governor is has assumed 'duties' but not the legal position of Governor - things seem to be going smoothly.

Best wishes to Gov. O'Bannon per a full recovery.
