PIU Students Bless the Vigil Family – JR Update

  This week is student leadership team training at PIU. The student dormitory leaders (RA’s) are here for training and discipleship. They will be training all week. This morning I had a chance to talk with them about where we are as a school and their responsibilities as student leaders. After the morning session they headed up to the hospital to minister to JR and the Vigil family. They brought up some pizza and drinks for lunch and visited with May and Tony. Some of the students went in to the ICU to pray with JR and then they all joined together for a time of prayer in the waiting room.

 

Here is the latest update on JR’s condition. The good news is that JR spoke his first word (through the tracheotomy) since the accident, "mom." He is still struggling with pneumonia in one of his lungs. The next step is to get him an MRI of his spine and head, and then to get him to the PI before the end of August so he can get the care he needs. He needs to be stable with clear lungs before he goes.

Tony and May were blessed by the students’ visit and they are very thankful for everyone who is praying. Keep those prayers going up! Thanks! Nice self-portrait Daisy!
