"I want to let you know he's back home and has recovered," Gordon said Monday on CBN's program, The 700 Club.
Pat had an embolic stroke on Friday. At that point he was unresponsive and his right side was paralysed. Within 80 minutes of the onset of symptoms, Pat received a clot-busting drug called tPA.
Gordon said within ten minutes of receiving the medicine, his father was awake and responsive and able to move all of his limbs, with the neurologist declaring the rapid recovery a "tPA miracle."
Gordon also said God did other miracles the day his 87-year-old father had a stroke.
He said the Holy Spirit told his wife to visit Pat at his home that day, not Sunday afternoon like she usually did.
As his wife was making her way over, Gordon said his wife got a phone call from their son warning her that he was stuck waiting for a train to pass near their home and he advised her to go a different route, not even knowing that she was on her way over to his grandparents' home.
Gordon's wife took a quicker route and when she arrived at the home, she almost immediately noticed Pat having early signs of a stroke, particular unclear speech.
Gordon said: "He kept saying, 'I can't understand what's wrong with me, what is happening to me?' "
He added that they got help straight away.
"When they determined it was a clot, that test came back positive, then suddenly I appear...I walk in [to the hospital] exactly at the right time that they needed someone who had the authority to give permission to give tPA," he said.
"Pat was home in time to watch the Super Bowl and he has his speech back and full-range of movement."
Gordon stressed the importance of knowing the signs of a stroke and knowing how to get help quickly if it happens.
