The surgery took a while and now he's in ICU! Another Tweet read: "Kiptyn is out of a 4.5 hour surgery & headed to ICU. Please keep him in your prayers." Tenley's most recent tweet made it sound like hopefully he's on the mend. "There were definitely Angels involved in this emergency. Grateful. And so thankful for all of you encouraging us..." Update: Official statement from Kiptyn, Tenley and Kiptyn's family: "Kiptyn Locke had a rare case of severely ruptured discs in his neck that were dangerously compressing against his spine. Thanks to the amazing doctors who acted quickly, his 4.5 hour surgery was a success and he is on his way to what doctors feel will be a full recovery. Kiptyn, Tenley and his family want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We will give an update at a later time. We appreciate your continued prayers." Our thoughts and prayers are with Kip!
