Televangelist Pat Robertson is recovering after suffering from an embolic stroke late last week.

According to a news release from the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which Robertson founded, a family member recognized the onset of the symptoms and rushed Robertson to the nearest stroke center on Friday.

Within minutes of receiving blood-clot medication, Robertson regained awareness and movement in all his limbs, the release says. {mosads}
