On Saturday Ken went for a walk and on the way back he stopped to talk to a neighbor. They talked for a minute and he just fell backwards. No complaint of chest pain or any indication that something was wrong. He literally just fell. Luckily the guy he was talking to knew cpr but it wasn't enough. The cpr brought him back for a minute. Luckily the ambulance arrived very quickly and after about 15 minutes of working on him( 3 to 4 shocks from a defibrillator, 2 shots of adrenaline into his bone marrow, and more chest compressions) they were able to airlift him to the hospital. At the hospital they did a cat-scan and they didn't find any hemorrhaging. Then he was put into icu where they reduced his body temperature to 33 degrees Celsius for 24 hours then allowed his body to heat back up over 12 hours. Now we are just waiting for him to wake up. So far the cardiologist at the hospital said his heart was only functioning at 15%, He also said that Ken will leave hospital with a pacemaker/defibrillator. We are still waiting to hear from Ken's cardiologist. So now it is just a waiting game.

Ken is great guy, my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. With him being such a large part of this site and Penturing in general, please keep us informed as information becomes available.
