From Brothers of the Bow facebook page.

This is Jenny, Gene's daughter and wanted to update everyone on some happenings of the last couple days -
My sister just posted on her wall asking for prayers for our family. Below is what is going on. Thanks to everyone that has texted/emailed and called and we will keep you update. *********
Our dad went Shed Antler Hunting on Wednesday and walked for HOURS and MILES. That night he got home and had a very high heart rate and low blood pressure. Yesterday morning he went to ER and was admitted. They got his rate normal and were just monitoring him. He was joking with the nurses and totally fine. This is the guy who has never been in a hospital for anything since he was born. He was going to go home this morning. So this morning I get a text from him that says ---
Figured out where I XXXXXX up. I drank 4 bottles of water while dehydrated but added Mio Green Thunder, which I thought was just flavoring but in reality is an energy drink. So essentially I downed 4 Red Bulls on an empty stomach that jump started my heart. Something to remember! Pass the word! Then he called 2 hours later this morning and they are transferring him to Iowa City for a better hospital and cardiologist. They think that he might have had a mild heart attach and so are going to run some tests at the new hospital and see if he needs a stint. He is not worried at all. So thank you everyone for keeping him and our family in your prayers

Even in his illness, he is still teaching. Tell him he has plenty of time to get well before October! Oh, did he find any sheds?
