Johnny and Janet Update from Marilyn Kasal
Hi All,
Just some quick updates that I was asked to share with everyone . . . Johnny Anderson was transferred from Loyola's Pediatric ICU to the Intermediate Monitored Pediatric Unit yesterday. The family wanted me to let everyone know that he is doing much better and is now able to communicate to the family. They thank you for your prayers.
I spoke with Janet Crosswhite as well who is recovering from a head injury and a fractured shoulder after a cycle collision which occurred a few days ago. She is in the 2 ICU at Loyola. She is feeling much better as well. She wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers.
Our prayers are being answered!

More prayers for Johnny Anderson
For those who had not heard the details . . . Johnny Anderson, son of Joe and Margie Anderson, was hit by a car on Main Street Thursday afternoon. After being taken to Good Sam he was air lifted to Loyola's Pediatric Trauma Unit.
He is currently in a drug-induced coma and has sustained multiple injuries including a broken collar bone, severely bruised kidneys and liver, a punctured spleen and the most concerning at this time, two severely bruised lungs.
In the first 24 hours after injury the lungs won't show the trauma, but the next 48 hours after that are the most critical. With that in mind there will be two more opportunities for us to pray as a St. Joseph Church Community. After 5pm mass on Saturday 6/21 and after 5pm mass on Sunday 6/22 of this weekend.
We will also be praying for Janet Crosswhite, a mother of two children that both went to St. Joseph's and are now at DGN. She was in a bicycle accident, colliding with another cyclist in a forest preserve in Brookfield and is now at Loyola as well. Janet is in a coma but last night began turning her head in response to peoples voices.
There is so much to pray for. Please feel free to share this email with anyone you know that might want to attend or could simply pray for Johnny, Janet and their families.
Let's Storm Heaven!!!

Johnny Anderson prayer service tonight
St. Joseph's is holding a prayer service tonight at 7pm for 5th grader Johnny Anderson who was hit by a car on Main Street yesterday. He is in critical condition at Loyola. For those of us that want to flood him with prayers as a Community please join us.
As a relative of the Anderson's put it:
"He will be monitored very closely in critical condition at Loyola, but the opinion at this time is that it's a miracle that he is in the position he is in. Keep him and all the Anderson's in your prayers."

Last Chance for YLC!!!
There are several students who have told our Youth Minister Marta Spiezio that they wanted to go to YLC, but have not yet turned in their forms.
And for anyone else who's considering this awesome experience Marta says, "If you sign up, you will look back and be like, "Ya know, I'm glad I chose to go to YLC during the summer of '08" ~ so don't let the pressure to hang around DG get to you! If money is an issue for you please let me know. I don't want you to miss the FAB weekend because you can't get the $$'s together."
The forms and money need to be to Marta by 10am Thursday (6/5) morning in order to get the count in to the Diocese. You can even bring it late Wednesday night to the Parish Center or to Rosary.
Questions, call Marta at the Parish Center at 964-0216.
