Urgent Prayer Request

We have a very urgent prayer request. Francis Weingard was in a serious car accident Thursday morning (October 2) and is in ICU at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, CO. He has multiple skull fractures, a serious compound fracture in his left arm, a compound fracture in his right wrist, and 3 broken ribs. His lungs and heart are badly bruised. His left lung is also partially collapsed. His right eardrum ruptured, as well as a blood vessel behind his nose. It was determined today that he did suffer a heart attack sometime after the accident. He had been on a blood thinner prior to the accident due to his heart, and that is causing some complications now. The doctors are also concerned about infection. Please pray for Bro. Weingard and his family during this time. He is still in critical condition.
***UPDATE***
Sunday - The doctors are concerned about bleeding in the brain, and think that the artery from Bro. Weingard's heart to his brain could be damaged. There is also concern that he could have another stroke. This could, of course, cause serious complications. There is no sign of infection in the left arm, and we do praise God for that! Please continue to pray.
