Despite initial treatment, her condition rapidly declined, and her oxygen levels continued to drop.

Brian Anderson

Before facing health challenges, Brian Anderson led an active and fulfilling life. He spent his days riding his electric bike, cheering for Bison football, and creating wonderful memories with his grandchildren. As an employee at Forum Communication Printing, Brian found purpose in his work and valued his independence. In August 2024, Brian was hospitalized due to enterococcal bacteremia and endocarditis, which necessitated an aortic valve replacement. Although the procedure went well and he was later discharged from the hospital, his recovery took an unexpected turn. A few weeks later, Brian woke up confused and had difficulty finding words. Doctors discovered that he had suffered a stroke and needed a craniotomy to relieve pressure in his brain.
