Last week, Dean Hopper of Southern Gospel group the Hoppers took on social media to seek our prayers for his dad Claude Hopper who suffered a stroke.Now, he has given an update about Claude's condition:
"Claude and Connie Hopper made the trip home from Kentucky yesterday afternoon, safe and sound. Dad was released with all of his motor skills and brain activity at 100%. In other words, he is still Claude! He speaks in complete sentences, only struggling to form the final words. God has blessed us as this can be treated with some speech therapy. We are humbled by your support in prayer, and blessed beyond measure at the mildness of this incident."
Earlier, Dean writes: "Last evening, while on tour in Frankfort, KY, my father, Claude Hopper, suffered a small stroke. He was airlifted to the University of Kentucky Hospital where he has spent the last 18 hours. Connie, who is by his side now, is blessed to announce that his speech and word formations were the only areas affected."
"We greatly appreciate your continual prayers for a speedy recovery."

Claude serves on the Board of Directors for the National Quartet Convention, Southern Gospel Music's premier event, which takes place every September and boasts annual attendance in excess of 60,000 people.
