4TH PATH : BRIAN FRANK STRONG

Brian Frank is an Illinois State Trooper, husband, son, brother, and incredible friend. On Monday February 15, 2021, while he was parked in his squad assisting vehicles, with emergency lights activated, another car crashed into the back of Brian’s car. Brian was airlifted to a local hospital with serious injuries to his brain, and underwent an emergency craniectomy. This blog is intended to keep those following Brian's story updated; and allow for focused prayer for Brian's recovery.

An open letter to the fearful...

We have been home from Texas for about a month now. We are doing our best to continue the 4+ daily hours of therapies that we learned at NeuroSolutions 3-5x a week. Brian continues to improve and make gains. His wakefulness throughout the day is longer, he's getting physically stronger, his head control & tracking is excellent, he has new responses to commands, and stem cells will continue to regenerate for up to 6 months. Dr Crawford would like to have us back by end of year for round 2! I had the great honor of sitting and podasting with Dr Brandon Crawford while we were there. You can watch and/or listen here: WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFF-3RYJXG0 LISTEN: https://www.drbrandoncrawford.com/podcast/episodes/strength-in-silence-the-unspoken-journey-of-tbi-caregiving I have zero regrets about getting Brian to Austin for the treatments.

Court Hearing // My Impact Statement

There is no sentence or judgment that can be made that will change where we are today or what we have been through. The judgment today will not bring Brian back. So - I’d like for you [Angel] to listen to how your actions have impacted our lives. Today is a day I’ve dreaded the most because it is forcing me to look back. To grieve what once was, and to relive the most painful and scary moments of our lives. It pains me to have to do this today, without Brian whole, when deep in my heart I hoped and believed he would be the one to speak today. Before I share how the crash has affected us, I just want to say to Brian, that caring for you and speaking for you has been my greatest honor. You are not a burden to me or to any of us who care about you. The things I'm going to share are difficult to communicate but important for the court to hear today. The things I share are to help convince the court that you receive some measure of justice for the joy stolen from you in your role...
