Pray for JR (Anthony Jr.) Vigil

Last Tuesday night JR Vigil, the son of PIU staff, and our long time close friends May and Tony Vigil, was badly injured in an automobile accident. The picture here was taken a few days ago as JR has been helping us with the renovations on Mike and Sam’s house. As Mike and Samantha mention in their blog it is a miracle that he is still alive. He is in a medically induced coma to promote healing for his body and his vital signs have been good. Yesterday (Friday) his left leg was amputated below the knee. Tony just called me with an update from the doctor that they are trying to save the right leg but they will make a determination about it on Monday. Please pray that the blood supply to the right leg will improve so that he can keep the leg. We were encouraged that the brain bleeding was decreasing and we are praying that he will be ok when they bring him out of the coma later this week to test brain function. Please keep him and his family in your regular prayers. I am posting regular updates on JR’s condition on my Facebook page.
