We haven't heard from Spence in several days now, and I was worried, so I emailed him to find out if everything was okay. Here are a couple of responses from Susan, Spence's girlfriend. The emails are self-explanatory, and I hope everyone gets behind this and sends their well-wishes to Spence.

Mr. Severin, my name is Susan and I am Spence's girlfriend . A couple of days ago he had a very bad gall bladder attack. I had to rush him to the E.R. And after a cat scan revealed the problem he was admitted to the hospital, met the surgeon, and was operated on 2 hours later. He is resting comfortably as we speak but is heavily sedated for the pain. I asked him if he wanted his phone but he had no desire for it or any other thing. Once he is getting better I'm sure you will here from him .Hi spence had an issue this morning and went into afibulation with his heart
They are working on that and think it was from stress related to his surgery
Will keep you updated
No problem with keeping others informed
Thanks for the concernFolks: I have an update on Spence. Susan has been kind enough to give me her email address, but I feel I don't want to overwhelm her with requests from the general population. If a board member asks, I will share it with them. I think we need to give Spence a chance to recover at his own pace, and I do not want to keep bothering Susan. I will send her one more email and let her know that we will wait, patiently for any further updates. I believe it is the best path. Following is her latest email, and you can judge Spence's condition and state of mind on your own. I know you will show the greatest respect for their privacy just now.I've been at the hospital all day. At 230am Monday morning his heart self regulated itself so he did not have to be shocked into regulation. They took him off the blood thinners etc. so now he can concentrate on recovering from his gall bladder surgery. He will have his phone with him now but really isin't interested in the Internet or anything else. SusanBob Severin
