Some anniversaries are marked with balloons and fanfare. Others just bring quiet, reflective attention.

So it was on Monday, Sept. 28, when the Wiggins Family of Perry marked the one-year anniversary of a horrific automobile accident which left their son, Zachary, with a number of injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (with swelling and bleeding on the brain, as well as shearing). “Both lungs were punctured,” his mother Cathy remembers. “His pelvis was fractured in two places; he had internal bleeding and stage four liver trauma with stents placed in the arteries to his liver. He was on a ventilator and in a coma.
