More than two weeks after a health scare sent Alabama broadcaster Chris Stewart to the hospital, the voice of Crimson Tide basketball provided an update.

Without giving many details, Stewart said progress "has been good, just not at the pace I want," in a Facebook post Tuesday night. The biggest issue is continued double vision, he said.

Stewart turned 48 on Monday when he normally would have been the emcee of the annual Alabama basketball banquet. Jim Dunaway hosted in his absence and led the full ballroom in singing happy birthday to the recovering Stewart.

In his Facebook post, Stewart thanked fans who have reached out with support in his time of need.

"Trying not to rush this process," Stewart wrote, "because I realize I won't be 100% overnight."

Stewart was taken to the hospital April 16 requiring emergency surgery. At the time, Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne called it a "serious medical procedure." It was a tense afternoon but all signs were positive by that evening.

A 1992 Montevallo graduate, Stewart has called Alabama basketball games on the radio for the past 16 seasons. He's also been in the booth for Tide baseball since 2000 while picking up Alabama football sideline reporting along the way. He also hosts the weekly Nick Saban and Avery Johnson television shows.
