Here is an update on the condition of Mitchell Crawford, the 11 year old son of Kingsmen baritone Randy Crawford:
UPDATE: April 19- Randy Crawford sent Singing News the following update:
"Thanks to everyone who has prayed for Mitchell following his accident. He is home from the hospital and doing great. He has 120 stitches in his forehead, a broken right femur, and a sprained left ankle. It could have been much, much worse. We are told by his doctors he should be up and running again in 8 weeks or so. God has been faithful to us during this time. He has heard all your prayers, and comfort and healing are the result. God truly hears from heaven and is faithful to His word. Caroline and I can't express our awe and gratitude at the outpouring of love. Southern Gospel fans once again prove they are not just fans, but family. We love you all."
