UPDATE 08-13-2026

As many of you know, William, the spouse of our vice president & therapist Michele, had a really bad car wreck back at the beginning of May that landed them in the hospital w/ a broken hip and while in hospital it was discovered William also had some serious heart conditions.

It's now mid-August and it has been a ride thus far. William is walking fairly well with a cane and has an ortho follow-up in Oct., but so far so good! They are still taking new meds for their heart after having a cardio version in July and are still under multiple doctors' orders to rest, continue to wear a LifeVest (wearable defibrillator) to begin cardio rehab soon, and be prepared for the likelihood of having surgery to get an internal defibrillator.

William's original return to work plan was to start back with short shifts & light duty in mid-October, but that might get delayed if surgery is necessary. They have an electrophysiologist follow-up in mid-September that will likely determine whether or not surgery is necessary and if there will be a further delay returning back to work.

We're still asking the community to help support Michele, William, & their children during this time. Every dollar, meal, and share goes much farther than you can imagine.

UPDATE 2026-07-17:
Michele's spouse was recently hospitalized again and discharged last week. William had a cardio version that appears to be successful, but found out they had a heart attack at some point in the past that left almost a quarter of their heart essentially dead.

The good news is that William's heart is in sinus rhythm and their cardio team assured them & Michele that with continued rest & taking necessary meds, William's heart can restructure and heal. And William has been weight bearing on their hip, slowly walking & regaining strength!

Unfortunately, for the family, it looks like it will be early October before William can start back at work with light duty & short shifts. So, we're asking the community to continue to dig deep and support our board member & therapist Michele and their family during these trying & uncertain times. Any dollars, meals, or shares help more than you realize. ❤️‍🩹 Stay tuned for more information as we're given the okay to share!
