Plea For Healing

Please join me in praying for JT, a member of the Cedarville family. On Wednesday, August 16th, he suffered heart failure and collapsed while playing a pick-up game of soccer. Although EMS personnel were able to save him, he has been in a coma since his collapse. Throughout the last several days medical news has become increasingly discouraging, as he developed seizures which doctors have been unable to control.

Most recently neurologists told JT's parents that, should he wake up, he will do so in the next two to three months. However, there is a discouraging 80% chance he will remain in a coma.

Please pray that God would raise JT out of this coma, if it is His will. Also, remember the family, as JT's sister and dad returned to National Guard jobs this week, leaving JT's mother and younger siblings with him here.

Please pray for wisdom as the family discerns whether they should move JT to Philadelphia to be closer to their home, and for safety is the trip is made in the coming days or weeks.

What a comfort it is to know we can approach the throne in confidence, knowing that He hears our prayers on behalf of others. Thank you!
