“Please Keep Her in Your Prayers”: Mother of 25-Year-Old Injured Rock Climbing Star Makes a Saddening Appeal to the Community

Rock climbing is an adrenaline-rushing adventure sport. It has some brutal consequences if anything goes wrong. Last August, everything didn’t go well for Jessie Liddiard, a South Jordan rock climber, when she was climbing at Hellgate Cliffs. Despite taking all safety measures, she was found at the wrong place at the wrong time and got hit by a falling rock on her head. Recently her mother requested people to remember Jessie in their prayers through a non-profit organization, Righteous Voices’ Facebook page.

Although Jessie has already gone through a lot in these five months and was gradually on her way to getting better, she once again got into trouble with an infection, possibly due to her previous treatments. She ended up being hospitalized again because of it. What happened to Jessie this time?

Jesse spent four weeks in the ICU, 40 days in rehab, seven days for cranioplasty, and much more. She fought against all odds for four months, as the family hoped she would be fine soon. On December 30, Jessie felt a horrible pain in her head and started throwing up.

When they took her to the ED, she was diagnosed with Bacterial Meningitis. The infection causes the membranes around the brain and spinal cord to inflame and can cause life-threatening problems as well. The rock climbing star was already on her way to re-learn every basic necessity, like swallowing, speaking, chewing, and talking, all over again. The infection pushed her one step back.

Watching her daughter in immense pain, her mother requests everyone to pray for her. She wrote, “Can I ask for more prayers for her, please?! Please, please keep her in your prayers, and she needs them all.” Let’s have a look at a few of the good wishes that came her way through the comments.

People came together to pray for the young rock climber. 

Injuries, near-death experiences, and even more serious fatalities have happened during rock climbing. Climbers might have had the best, as well as the worst experiences of their lives in this adventurous sport. Jessie’s accident could be counted as the latter, as she continues to struggle. As her mother appealed to the people to pray for her, many prayers did come her way. Let’s have a look at a few of them.

People commented, 

“Prayers for God to touch this precious young lady.”

“Prayers for her and prayers that Drs. find out what’s going on “

“Father I lift her up to you heal and deliver in Jesus mighty name Amen!!”

“Prayers coming your way Jess! “

“Prayers for a speedy recovery “

“Thank God because she’s healed. Don’t listen to your mind but believe.”

The courage and fighting spirit of Jessie and her family has kept her fighting all the way till now. As comments pour in, in her support, the climbing enthusiast battles ahead.
