We are still in Miami, where Floyd was flown on Tuesday evening. We have not seen Floyd yet this morning. The visiting hours are limited to the afternoon and a couple of hours in the evenings. We are expecting to talk to Floyd's main attending neurosurgeon this afternoon.
As of 11:30 a.m. EDT, Floyd remains in a coma, in serious but stable condition at Jackson Hospital in Miami. He suffered a stroke, and then had the complication of bleeding into the brain. His vital signs remain good, but his condition has not otherwise changed since yesterday. We are in a watching and waiting mode to see whether he wakes up from the coma, and if he does, what affect the stroke has had on him.
Please do not send any flowers to Jackson Hospital, nor cards or anything else as they are not allowed in the NSICU. If you'd like, please add your comments, whether for Floyd or for Ginger, Mike and their family. We will print them and read them aloud to Floyd.
Mike and Ginger are exhausted. Both of them slept poorly overnight and are now napping. It would be very helpful to limit phone calls to Ginger or Mike as having to replay the events of the past few days is very distressing to both of them. But we know that many people love and care about Floyd and we want to keep everyone involved, so we have started this site.
We ask for and welcome your prayers.

About this site
This is a site to communicate the events of Floyd's final days and information about services and wishes to his family and great many friends of his 79 wonderful years.
This blog was created as way to immediately inform family and friends as to Floyd's condition after his stroke. We were in Mexico and unable to call.
The post begins with my account of the stroke, and the events as they happened. To read them in order, start with "The Stroke," which is the first post and read them in reverse order.
Be sure to have "OneForFloyd!" at your favorite pub/bar. We hope you'll be able to contribute to the establishment of the Floyd J Klozar memorial baseball field and scholorship for the children of Spokane.
Over 100 cards offerring condolences arrived at my dad's house the week of the ceremony. Thank you all for sending these, it is much appreciated. Unfortunately, we do not see the cards contents or senders names. Although we cannot send a reply, you have our gratitude.
I've unfortunately had to hide the overwhelmingly caring and thoughtful comments due to provocative and hurtful rants posted by my father's estranged daughter Sherry and her child Alaina. The comments were hurtful, inappropriate, and would have devistated my father to know such things were being shared on his memorial site with his closest friends and loved ones. He wanted the best for everyone. Always.
