Mike is now outside of the six month window that transplant organs are most likely to be rejected in. “My best day is someone else’s worst day. The fact that somebody had to lose their life for me to do better, somebody else had to perish. That does weigh on you quite a bit.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823834349-JG1CHGAFAUUONH5QN2DL/Scheller_Narrative_002.jpg A Second Chance Dash, one of Mike and his wife Hailee Hart’s two dalmatians sits on his lap, in Stewart, Ohio. Mike affectionately refers to their dalmatians as “Velcro dogs”, as they desire frequent physical touch, "and are basically attached to you." Dash, Mike said, was initially unexpected and not entirely wanted. “Hailee bought him for me for my birthday and I about shit a horse.” Over time, this feeling has changed dramatically. “He’s my boy,” said Mike. “He’s the best pet I’ve ever had. If I had to pay $5000 for another day with Dash, I’d do it in a heartbeat.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823838607-5SO6JSQG0YDV5O9PI0TW/Scheller_Narrative_003.jpg A Second Chance Mike takes a moment in between wiring one of the fire engines to talk about his philosophy on running the fire department, in Stewart, Ohio. “A firehouse is supposed to be spotless,” said Mike while speaking about projects that, due to the double organ transplant, he now has energy to complete. “Part of that is that if a tax payer walked into this place I would want them to think, ‘wow they really take care of this place.’ It’s out of respect for the community.” “I tried to serve in the military but got turned away because of flat feet, so I decided if I can’t serve my country I’ll serve my community.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823841475-VPI3SI85Q4ETB5C11CNO/Scheller_Narrative_004.jpg A Second Chance Mike, left, pats Levi Snedden, the son of Mike’s childhood friend, Tim, on the head during a training burn in Stewart, Ohio. Mike and Hailee are god parents to Tim and Staci Snedden’s children, Levi and Gracie, and serve on the fire department with them. “Mike has always been a huge part in Levi and Gracies life,” said Staci. “We knew instantly who we wanted to be their godfather.” Serving with Tim and Staci on the fire department, the Harts say, has without question strengthened their friendship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823846414-5DPH1SMNMZH0ZYBECTY7/Scheller_Narrative_006.jpg A Second Chance Mike, a self-identified night-owl, works on a project at the fire department as night falls, in Stewart, Ohio. Hailee, on the other hand, is usually in bed at an early hour. For two years prior to his double organ transplant, Hailee would help Mike with at-home dialysis for four hours a night, four days a week. Due to the allotment of time that dialysis takes and the differences between their sleep schedules, the early days of dialysis were at times challenging, Mike said, but that with time they found compromise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823851016-SCYRSFPH3915X7IYL144/Scheller_Narrative_007.jpg A Second Chance Mike, left, and Randy Fleming rehearse with the band Heart Break Ridge in Mike’s garage, in Stewart, Ohio. Mike recounts a story of when first playing with a live band, he turned his amplifier way down because he didn’t want to be heard. But after awhile, his amp seemed to be operating at normal levels and he would again turn his amp back down. Eventually he caught the drummer turning his amp up to which the drummer told Mike to, “cut that shit out, you’re doing fine.” Mike has played in a band ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619823853860-2YG74SNPVWPF17KMV8V8/Scheller_Narrative_008.jpg A Second Chance Mike’s belt buckle is illuminated by fire light as he burns and clears brush in his yard in Stewart, Ohio.

I can’t help but think about my donor,” Mike continues. “What kind of life did that person leave? Did they [their organs] go to somebody worthy enough to make them happy? It makes me want to work harder. And it makes me want to work better.

Over the years, Stewart has seen a slow but steady decrease in economic activity. For some communities in Ohio in similar situations, their decreased economy can be linked to the decline of coal mining. However, Stewart has never been dependent on coal, so while there are a number of events that have probably contributed to the economic situation in the community, the reason for this is unlikely to be linked to a single event, says Bill Barnhart, a resident of Stewart who has previously served as a Rome Township trustee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1619821987461-W2086ZJTUZUA0HCIFMRP/Scheller_Essay_Social_015.jpg Stewart, Ohio Beverly Dixon, right, refills her husband Rex’s cup of coffee as they watch an Ohio State University basketball game, in Stewart, Ohio.

Hayes-Mcinnis has a stomach complication that occurs monthly that makes it difficult for her to keep food and liquids down. “That year [that I first moved into my house] I was in the emergency room probably a total of four times. Two of those times were in the same week,” she said. “If you’re not able to eat and keep anything down, you’re not able to take the insulin. And if you’re not able to process the insulin your organs will start to shut down.” The cost for these four visits Hayes-Mcinnis is responsible for she estimates to be about $11,000, while she estimates the total amount of her medical bills resulting from hospitals visits from the past few years due to being a Type 1 at around $20,000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916701532-11R30OTMYQKFWDN4QZQO/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0165.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916709264-YRE8BLBJFH965W2ZPQNC/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0207.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916710405-UW6JT1AM62XE2ZX858HS/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0266.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916717396-WAN9FF7EU9X4INKS4FTN/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0279.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916726503-CG7YQCUZP6UNO713E48U/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0459.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916726775-JVSR1L62O36489DQPIFU/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0547.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice Hayes-Mccinnis, laughs with a friend while standing for a portrait outside her home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Candice is Type 1, a CPA, and the founder of Providom, which is a non-profit to help with financial literacy education.

You don’t typically feint on a high blood sugar. Which is different. So it was really kind of just…I call it the grace of god, some people call it luck.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916735708-2QC2TQ0GECVOXFM5U945/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0567.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916736278-CM0MUFE4LJOSJD7FFUQO/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0623.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916743737-I7NNLXK12VL82ZUNNC84/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0625.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916745334-SG0IP6AYYCIHLOHU2N0O/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0669.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916752130-CS35UTUQ2P49BL0V668L/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0683.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916754951-8IWV8N0TGN9QFG8X7PF3/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0686.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Candice HayesMccinnis in Cincinnati , Ohio, on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1648916761249-L081K1HD2F4W62AMOWS7/102321_CandiceHayesMcinnis_0888.jpg Rough edit, insulin story Victoria Sumner, second from right, laughs with Candice Hayes-Mcinnis while bowling in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Oct. 23, 2021.

I thought this might be something that I would have to do.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1732919042844-2J53JCBB0WJS65P0BXVO/113024-sntd-nws-caregiving-01.jpg Baby, Are You OK? Wayne Roberts reaches over and touches his wife Lynne Roberts’ shoulder as she gazes out a window in their home on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 in Butte. “I’ve been preparing for this for 13 years,” Wayne said while speaking about being Lynne’s caregiver. “She was 9 years older than I was when I married her. I thought this might be something that I would have to do.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1732919620587-DVN0WPA7KQC02JDSDR61/Baby%2C+Are+You+OK+Website+Intro.jpg Baby, Are You OK? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/674a3ebdb8623973b35dfee5/674a3ed5c6201d6dd44320e1/1763527248748/ Baby, Are You OK? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527316514-ANOC34MON24UVBDK16XF/waynelynne-web-0002.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne Roberts looks over at Lynne Roberts after she completed an in-home occupational therapy session on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024. When Wayne first moved in with Lynne, all he had was a bag of clothes and a stick bag for his drum sticks. “I’m not just her caregiver, she’s mine,” Wayne said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527325617-GL9FSAZZV8WAQS1XGY8B/waynelynne-web-0003.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Lynne Roberts looks at Wayne Roberts as he gently touches her shoulder on Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023. “My love for her in a lot of ways has grown because of what she’s going through,” said Wayne. “And all I can do for her is to make it as easy for her as I can.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527329568-U6OVAMETVYRA143KHM04/waynelynne-web-0004.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne reaches out to hold Lynne Roberts’ hand as they leave their home in Butte, Montana before driving to lunch. As Lynne’s mobility decreased, she and Wayne went out less and less for travel, eating and entertainment. It became a rare occurrence for the couple to leave the house for non-essential reasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527342642-UJ51J2LASNVXWEZXB1PI/waynelynne-web-0005.JPG Baby, Are You OK? In the early hours of the morning, Wayne tosses newspapers on the ground at Safeway in Dillon. Wayne’s delivery route is 158 miles, which he drives three days a week in all weather conditions. Wildlife collisions, while not frequent, are not uncommon when driving this route. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527349120-QBRRA0N2CXVWYRNHYCDI/waynelynne-web-0006.JPG Baby, Are You OK? While waiting for the newspaper truck to arrive, Wayne eats a light meal late Monday night. Wayne works for The Montana Standard delivering newspapers which can take him into the early morning hours to complete. This allows him to work when Lynne is sleeping, and to be home when she is awake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527349579-3YHWOFG7VVM122VKOO4O/waynelynne-web-0007.JPG Baby, Are You OK? As Lynne’s dementia and health condition worsened, Wayne installed cameras with two-way microphones so he and Lynne could communicate easily when he was out delivering newspapers in the dead of night. Wayne’s absence could cause Lynne to become distraught if she woke up in the middle of the night and he was not there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527376654-W3QUL1AP43KXY5IH5QH0/waynelynne-web-0008.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Carrying yellow flowers for Lynne, her favorite color, Wayne leaves the grocery store to drive home to celebrate the anniversary of the day they met. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527375118-N1ZEYGOMVK5X3MTEHEIC/waynelynne-web-0009.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Lynne laughs as Wayne helps her out of the car during a shopping trip to Walmart. Lynne stopped driving after an episode early after her diagnosis: she was getting her hair cut, and when she got back to the car she called Wayne because she could no longer remember how to operate her vehicle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527401948-R9X2WQ5PII808AMN1ZS8/waynelynne-web-0010.JPG Baby, Are You OK? During a medical appointment, Lynne looks over at Wayne as he speaks to Dr. Serena Brewer. Lynne had difficulty understanding others when they would speak to her, but she would understand when Wayne repeated their words back to her. Wayne was her medical advocate, and in many ways her liaison to the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527409216-MSC4JS8YJ5KTNX0HMP51/waynelynne-web-0011.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne reaches over to give Lynne her medication. As dementia progressed, Lynne’s ability to manage her own day-to-day activity decreased. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527434402-N2NCW8434U7F4PTF5BQ1/waynelynne-web-0012.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne helps Lynne try on a pair of pajamas they purchased at Walmart. Lynne’s limited mobility makes changing her own clothes difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527433997-HSU918PMDA4BPSUOKFXG/waynelynne-web-0013.JPG Baby, Are You OK? A barefoot Wayne relaxes next to Lynne in their recliners with two heaters set to ‘HI’ near their feet. As Lynne aged, she had increasing difficulty staying warm and even wearing multiple layers she would still shiver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527465467-RC1SBWF2WDTN32UJ2QFE/waynelynne-web-0014.JPG Baby, Are You OK? The New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans NFL football game is reflected in Wayne’s glasses as he watches while relaxing next to Lynne. Wayne used to attend local football games with friends, but he has abstained from this pastime since Lynne was diagnosed with dementia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527462622-CVH1CWC993B6RU1TEIMC/waynelynne-web-0015.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Lynne makes her way through the kitchen back to her recliner after using the bathroom early one Wednesday morning. Wayne began following her to ensure her safety, regardless of the time of day, as she started to fall and injure herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527491856-FJGUW2M4O6LKYJ92Y4B2/waynelynne-web-0016.JPG Baby, Are You OK? With Lynne already sound asleep, Wayne reaches up to turn out the light for the night after arriving home from his newspaper delivery route. They started spending the night in their two recliners, which accommodated Lynne’s limited mobility. Wayne chose to be next to Lynne, where they slept side-by-side for four years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527490253-JNRTJ6HCDNT8WH04ZQBX/waynelynne-web-0017.JPG Baby, Are You OK? The warmth from the Roberts’ house illuminates a cold winter morning. While Wayne was at work, on April 6, Lynne wandered out of the house wearing nothing but pajamas and socks. It was 28 degrees. Wayne saw her leave through the two-way camera he installed and raced home to find her clutching a fence. “Where are you going, baby?” Wayne asked Lynne, later when they were inside again. She told him she was going home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527528769-RVUEOJZY2OZS4WDK521K/waynelynne-web-0018.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne comforts Lynne after she struggled to get out of her recliner for a bath with Nichole Newby, a home health aid. This was the first time the Roberts’ accepted in-home health care services, which reflected Lynne’s need for medical assistance outside of Wayne’s capabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527531058-XI44SBY9B3D5BPC96N4Z/waynelynne-web-0019.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Nichole Newby helps Lynne bathe while Wayne watches. Lynne took a liking to Nichole, but said, “I’d rather take my own bath.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527558061-HPSJV68WNC6NQT29HIH1/waynelynne-web-0020.JPG Baby, Are You OK? The Roberts sleep next to each other in their recliners in the early morning. He sleeps next to Lynne so that he can be available if she wakes up in the middle of the night. “My goal is to make her last part of life fright free,” Wayne said. “I never want her thinking she has to go alone.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527548588-1X1F8WIZ0AFSIX9TTT3P/waynelynne-web-0021.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Now in hospice, Lynne tightly grasps Wayne’s hand while lying in bed. Lynne is having increasing difficulty swallowing and has moved away from solid foods. She now drinks water through a straw or by sucking on a wet sponge. “This is no way to live,” Lynne said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527594189-KE708VYQI95NZN2RIJWJ/waynelynne-web-0022.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Hospice Nurse Tina Pfertsh lifts Lynne’s head while adjusting her pillow as Wayne comes to help. Lynne began hallucinating, and saying she wanted to go home. Wayne suspected she was talking about her old ranch in northwestern Montana. “I loved it,” Lynne said of her old home. “I never should have sold it. All the wide-open spaces…And there were no close neighbors. You could have any animal you wanted…I had several horses and dogs. It was wonderful.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527580863-QM8335H9CL62SH4TMESO/waynelynne-web-0023.JPG Baby, Are You OK? “It tastes like shit,” Lynne had previously said with a chuckle. Among other drugs, Lynne was on heavy doses of morphine and methadone to help manage her pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527605037-CEJLBJ8UPFO55RZ3RNET/waynelynne-web-0024.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Yellow roses from Wayne rest in a vase above where Lynne sleeps in a hospital bed. As her cognitive function declined, Wayne noted that she seemed to find more comfort in having her favorite-colored flowers nearby. “She was one of the toughest women I’ve ever been involved with,” said Wayne. “And smart - you couldn’t get anything past her.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527641714-UJMMTWMLFMZ53GBFRG59/waynelynne-web-0025.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Wayne sits with Lynne in what he expects to be her last day of life, on Monday, May 27, 2024. “It’s a conflict. I want to take care of her, I want her to be happy. And I want her to die,” said Wayne. “It’s the worst thing. I mean she’s been a free spirit her whole life and then to have someone tell you that you can’t get out of bed ever again…? How do you reconcile those two feelings?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527633327-AZJS2WNH8JMA5X3D34FW/waynelynne-web-0026.JPG Baby, Are You OK? Lynne Roberts died at 8:45 am on Thursday morning, June 6, 2024 in her home. Wayne grasps the hand of Funeral Home Director Bri Mulvaney as Lynne’s covered body is taken away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527948248-O277DL3U9310LA0PC8SJ/waynelynne-web-0027.JPG Baby, Are You OK? After briefly fighting back tears, Wayne divides Lynne’s ashes into small containers for family members. Wayne moved out of their home almost immediately after Lynne’s death. She was cremated without a funeral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527945860-9Y996UKD0Z9394OXVM4M/waynelynne-web-0028.JPG Baby, Are You OK? “Lynne and I met in the twilight of our lives and we loved every day,” Wayne said. “She came into my life when I needed her most and I still owe her so much. I will carry her with me the rest of my life. But I miss her. A thousand times a day, I miss her.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb1981bf89b0151b04c503c/1763527977192-YBGR6XXT8WYCDT47IK3C/waynelynne-web-0029.JPG Baby, Are You OK?
