Gordie Howe remains immobile, but has shown “minor improvements”, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
The Free Press spoke to Gordie’s son, Mark, who expressed that the 86-year-old NHL legend “isn’t in so much pain any more. No walking or speech, but at least he’s out of the bed.”

Howe, who was dubbed as Mr. Hockey during his playing career, suffered a stroke on Oct. 26 while visiting his daughter in Lubbock, Texas.
His family released a statement Nov. 4 saying the hockey legend was “recovering at a remarkable rate” before his health reportedly took another turn for the worse over the past week.
Howe is considered one of the greatest players in hockey history. His professional career spanned five decades, most notably with the Red Wings. He played 25 seasons with the Red Wings, making his debut on Oct. 16, 1946, and led them to four Stanley Cup titles.
