During BravoCon 2022 in New York City, Patricia Altschul shared an update on Michael Kelcourse. According to a reporter from The List, The "Southern Charm" star told fans that Kelcourse is paralyzed from the chest down since he suffered his spinal stroke over a year ago. Altschul explained that only 1% of people are affected by spinal strokes, as strokes in the brain are much more common.
Altschul confirmed that Kelcourse is still living at the Shepherd Center in Florida, near many of his family members, and that he has been rehabilitated to the point where he can now drive a van. She spoke highly of his "wonderful attitude" and shared, "He loves 'Southern Charm,' loves the fans." Altschul then thanked the BravoCon attendee for asking about Kelcourse and urged fans to send him a message on Instagram. "That would be really nice," she stated.
In June, Kelcourse shared a picture on his Instagram feed of a gift a fan had sent him. "Friday I received this lovely card and book from a fan of southern Charm," he captioned. Many wrote how much they missed him on the show and hoped he was doing well. One fan asked, "What would you need or like Michael?" He simply replied, "Mrs. Altschul has provided me with everything I need." Kelcourse's relationship with his employer is a special one and it just proves how treasured he is to those around him.
