Under the care of Dr. Brandon Crawford and his dedicated team, who believe in the potential for heightened awareness in patients with brain injuries, Brian began to show remarkable progress.<p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;min-height:22px;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Supported by donations and assistance, Brian and Lauren embarked on a medical flight to Austin, TX, where Brian received treatment at the clinic. Within days, he demonstrated increased alertness and even began communicating through simple gestures.<p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;min-height:22px;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">However, unforeseen challenges arose when their return flight was canceled due to a malfunction with the aircraft. Despite this setback, Dr. Crawford recommended extending Brian's treatment until April 19, 2024, recognizing the potential for further improvement.<p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;min-height:22px;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Brian Frank, a selfless servant of the Illinois community, now stands at the threshold of a remarkable recovery journey, thanks to the treatment he's received. As workers' compensation failed to provide support, it's now incumbent upon us to rally behind Brian and Lauren. Through the generosity of Jet Air Inc., who facilitated their return flight at a reduced cost, and  the Defending Heroes Project and MEG-Making Everything Good working together, we have the opportunity to alleviate the financial burden on the Franks and ensure they receive the support they need.<p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;min-height:22px;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-optical-sizing:auto;font-variation-settings:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Let's unite in solidarity with Brian and Lauren, demonstrating our unwavering support and love. All funds raised will directly contribute to covering treatment and lodging expenses, with any surplus dedicated to the ongoing care and well-being of Trooper Brian Frank and his devoted wife. Together, we can rewrite this chapter of their lives with hope, resilience, and compassion.
