By the grace of God, he has now transitioned to a rehabilitation center, where our family remains present, hopeful, and focused on his recovery.”
The family acknowledged the challenging road ahead, but emphasized Rotunda’s inherent strength and resilience. “It has already been a long road, and we certainly know there is still a long road ahead, but our faith in God remains strong,” Mika continued. “Anyone who knows my dad knows that it’s his strength, work ethic, and athleticism that have carried him through not just this, but every challenge life has thrown his way. If there’s one person I have faith in, it’s Captain Mike.”
