This is Mrs. Kopek (Ruble in the MMP) with some serious news. I don’t usually post on these boards (except in the celebrity death pools) but I wanted to let you know that Kopek is in the cardiac intensive care unit in critical condition. I can’t go through the whole story right now, but he had an as-yet undetermined cardiac incident around 3:30 this morning and the paramedics and ER doctors had a hard time restarting his heart and breathing (numerous times). He is currently fully sedated, plugged into everything imaginable, and the doctors are most concerned about damage to his neurological functions due to oxygen deprivation. He is very sick. If you’re Facebook friends, please don’t post on there; I’m still trying to reach a couple of people. I’m also going to post this to the current MMP because I know he hangs out there. Good thoughts, prayers, etc. are all sought and fully appreciated. ---
