Mike Frank Update 11.18.08

Michael Frank is a 1992 Aquin graduate. His brother Steve and sister Christine are also Aquin graduates. The Frank family owns and operates Honeyhill Apple Orchard in McConnell. Mike suffered a massive stroke in June, 2007. He spent over 9 months in different hospitals from Chicago to Rockford to Freeport. He received and continues to receive speech, physical and occupational therapies. Mike returned home in early April with trach and feeding tubes and is continuing to progress with the help of his family, therapists and CNA's.

Mike was scheduled to have surgery early in October for a dislocated hip and to close the hole from his trachea. There were some complications and the surgery was cancelled. He went back to Madison at the end of October for the surgeries. His right leg is now in a cast from hip to toe. The surgery to close the trachea hole was also done. He did have a few complications though. His lungs collapsed and they needed to insert a tube. He also had bronchial pneumonia. He ended up staying in the hospital for 2 weeks.

Mike returned home on Thursday, November 13. He will be in the cast for 6-8 weeks. He still has a feeding tube in, but hopes that he soon will begin to eat and the tube will be removed. After the cast is removed, he hopes to return to physical therapy so he will finally be able to walk again.

Needless to say, Mike's medical expenses continue to grow. As the holiday season is nearing, we are asking friends, alumni and community members to remember Mike and his family in your prayers. Please feel free to send him a holiday card and best wishes. The Michael Frank Fund is an ongoing account at Aquin. If you would like to make a contribution, please send it to:
