What does the When Calls The Heart star have to say about this situation and how can you help Michael Hogan?

WCTH Star Erin Krakow Asks Fans To Help Michael Hogan

On Tuesday, Erin Krakow went to Instagram to ask #hearties to help with a very serious situation. Michael Hogan was seriously injured in a fall. The serious injury resulted in bleeding in the brain. He has been in healthcare facilities. As people can imagine, during this time of Covid-19, it is very difficult. Most of all, it is very expensive. This is why friends have created a GoFundMe for Michael Hogan.

Although best known for his work on Battlestar Galactica, Hogan had guest starred as Archie Grant, Nathan’s (McGarry) father, on WCTH Season 7. He was on for two episodes, but he is clearly beloved to the cast.

She shared, “Michael charmed us all last season… he always showed up to work with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye and warmth for anyone who interacted with him… He’s regained his speech and he’s largely coherent, but there’s still a very long road ahead…”

What exactly happened?

How Exactly Did Michael Hogan Get Hurt?

Back in February, while he was attending a FanExpo, science fiction convention, in Vancouver, he fell. He hit his head. This happened at dinner, after he had been working at the Battlestar Galactica fan fest.

Not realizing how hard he hit his head, Michael Hogan went to his room and went to bed. The next morning, he would not wake up. That is because he had a brain bleed. He went into emergency surgery and they had to use nearly 60 staples to close his skull.

This injury has left the 71-year-old WCTH actor with partial paralysis, memory loss and inability to swallow.

Then the coronavirus struck, and this made the situation for his family much more difficult. Now, he is slowly progressing, but he still needs a feeding tube. His wife, Susan, can visit him. But, she cannot touch him, nor can he see a smile on her face. She has to wear a face mask because of the extreme danger of the coronavirus.

His situation is difficult and he has to remain in a long-term care facility for some time. This is why they asked for help. These costs are very expensive.
