SEQUIM — Jesse Morgan, 21, of Sequim is in critical condition and in a coma at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after a freak accident on Easter Sunday, April 24.
Morgan was upstairs in his grandmother’s home. He was reaching for his cat when he lost his balance and tumbled over a railing, falling 15 feet, head-first.
His uncle, Jason Parkinson, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an auto accident when he was 20, says the prognosis is grim for Jesse.
“He could be in “a vegetative state for the rest of his life,” says Parkinson. “Or he may get pneumonia and not recover. They have sort of suggested that we pull the plug. No one in our family wants that.”
Parkinson has created a website for Jesse — www.savingjesse.com — and believes the power of prayer will bring about Jesse’s recovery.
He wants everyone to pray for Jesse this Sunday — Mother’s Day.
“We are asking for a concerted prayer effort on Sunday for Jesse,” he said.
“Prayer — or positive thoughts, or whatever you believe — in numbers matters. Do it Sunday — Mother’s Day — please, for Jesse.
“Every prayer counts! Every prayer makes a difference!”
To help cover his medical costs, a “Jesse Fund” has been set up at all branches of US Bank, and donations can also be made at the Sequim Subway store, 680 W. Washington St., where Jesse was the morning manager.
