Forrest Frank Says He’s Been Miraculously Healed after Breaking His Back, ‘Thank You Jesus’
Barely two weeks after a terrifying fall left him with two fractured vertebrae, singer Forrest Frank says he's experienced a miracle -- and has been healed. A visibly joyful Forrest Frank posted a video to Instagram on Saturday, sharing that he had woken up pain-free -- so much so that he forgot about his injury and picked up his two-year-old son before remembering what had happened. Subsequent X-rays, he said, showed the fracture was gone.
Frank sustained the injury on July 19 while skateboarding in front of his house, and a subsequent X-ray and CT scan revealed fractures in his L3 and L4 vertebrae. While bedridden during recovery, he recorded two songs: God's Got My Back and Lemonade (the latter a collaboration with The Figs).
Those fractures, though, are now gone.
"So I broke my back exactly two weeks ago today -- [this is] day 14," a smiling Frank says in the video. "... I wake up today, forget to put on my back brace. Just start doing the morning. I pick Bodie up, and then I realized, 'Wait, I'm not wearing my brace. What is going on?'… [I] order an urgent X-ray, and go get the X-ray. I have complete healing in my back. I have no fractures in my back -- no sign of a fracture in my back. So praise God -- we saw a miracle."
Frank noted that he "could not move an inch without excruciating pain" after the fall. In the video, he was still wearing a brace as a precaution, but said he believes God healed him.
"Did we just witness a miracle happen or do i have the fastest bones OF ALL TIME," he wrote on Instagram with a smiling emoji. "I'm pretty much convinced God would've healed me day 1 from all these prayers, but He wanted these songs & this testimony come to life. Regardless, i'm here for it all … ruined for the ordinary. THANK YOU JESUS."
The Christian community had rallied in prayer for Frank, who is one of the most popular artists in the industry -- especially among teens. Last week, singer Tauren Wells led 5,000 fans in a prayer for Frank during his performance at the Ohio State Fair, later posting the moment to Instagram and tagging Frank, who said he was humbled by the outpouring of support.
Over the weekend, the Christian community joined Frank in celebrating his recovery.
"Praise God!!!!!!! This is incredible," Kari Jobe wrote.
"What?!!! Look what He did!!!!! PTL," Candace Cameron Bure wrote.
"YESSSS! That is our God!!!! Thank you Jesus," Phil Wickham added.
Wells was rejoicing, too.
"OH MY!!!!! THATS THE GOD WE SERVE!!!! PRAISING GOD RIGHT NOW!!!!" Wells wrote.
