Another accident for Frank
My son Frank was in another car accident last Wed. He is in a coma. First it was the motorcyle accident in 2005, now this. Poor kid. Please send prayers. The bad arm is so meaningless at this point. Be thankful for your good working arm.

Re: Another accident for Frank
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Frank and your family. It seems like just yesterday that we held vigil over Dustin's bed as he was in a coma. I remember how just opening his eyes for a few seconds thrilled us so much. He has come so far and we hope to hear wonderful recovery stories as Frank improves.
