LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Another story that we are following here is the health of former President Gerald Ford. He was treated this week for a stroke, discovered Wednesday after he attended Tuesday night's convention session. Our Pat Neal has been following his progress, and she joins us now from Hahnemann University Hospital -- Pat.</s>PAT NEAL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Leon. Well, President Gerald Ford is resting now, the hospital says that he has had another comfortable night, and that they'll soon have him up and exercising again. As you said, he walked into this hospital on Wednesday. Doctors say he has had one, possibly two strokes. They are small strokes. He is in fair condition at the neuro-intensive care unit, and he continues to improve. Physicians are focused on a problem he had for some time before the stroke, though, a swollen tongue. They are trying to determine its cause, and they say he has some slurred speech from that and the stroke. Yesterday, to treat the stroke conditions, doctors changed his blood-thinning medication.</s>DR. CAROL THOMAS, HAHNEMANN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: That is to prevent any further strokes or any further problems; that needs to be adjusted for several days with blood levels. So he will need to be in the hospital for a few more days. But we are very pleased with his progress and expect him to make a full recovery.</s>NEAL: Well, President Ford has received some high-level visitors, including his for running mates, Senator Bob Dole, and George W. Bush.</s>GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He looked great. He sounded good, and his family would -- is very optimistic, and everybody was upbeat. I was really pleased to see.</s>NEAL: Phone calls and e-mails have poured into Hahnemann University Hospital, and the hospital tells us that so many flowers have arrived for the Fords that they have been distributed throughout the hospital. Pat Neal, CNN, reporting live from Philadelphia.</s>HARRIS: All right, thank you, Pat.
