Gary Coleman is hospitalized, reportedly in 'critical condition' after falling
Several outlets are reporting that the former “Diff'rent Strokes” star is hospitalized in Utah and has undergone emergency surgery.
Details are sketchy. Coleman, 42, was reportedly transported to the hospital after, family members say, the actor suffered a head injury during a fall. Coleman's brother-in-law told TMZ that the actor was in critical condition.
Coleman is no stranger to a hospital room. He suffered seizures in January and February.
He also suffers from a congenital kidney disease and requires frequent dialysis.

PRAYS ARE WITH GARY. TOO BAD HE DID SUCH STUPID THINGS AND ACTED LIKE AN IDIOT OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. THIS IS YET ANOTHER LESSON TO BE LEARNED; LEAD A GOOD, LIFE, BE NICE TO OTHERS AND TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT.

Hey Steve! I'm sure that Gary really appreciates your prayers while at the same time you're condemning him for being "an idiot." Perhaps you should read and learn something from your quote saying that people should "lead a good life, be nice to others and treat people with respect."
Why are Christians always so judgmental? I mean, isn't it clearly outlined in your bible that you're not supposed to behave that way?

Get Well Soon Arnold and much love from Kelly and Chevon

Because Gary, some Christians cannot practise what they preach...can’t even practise what is preached to them by their ministers.
That is why I don’t follow that path anymore; too many hypocrites out there; and really don’t want to associate..prefer to call myself spiritual.
Gary, blessings are sent to you and your family; may you recuperate soon.

My prayers are with him. May this turn out to be just another small bump in the road, and he will be back up and active again, very soon.
