‘Keep the prayers coming’: Family continuing to play waiting game for boy swept into storm drain
“Blood pressure has been an issue and things seem to get worse at night so keep the prayers coming.”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The family of the boy who was swept into a storm drain during severe weather last week is continuing to hold onto hope.
Rutherford County Director of Schools Jimmy Sullivan said his family was woken up in the early morning hours on Monday to being told their son Asher stopped having breaths on his own.
“We were woken up at 2:00 a.m. this morning and told Asher stopped having any breaths on his own and that his eyes weren’t responsive anymore,” Dr. Sullivan said. “We had planned to have some rough conversations this afternoon.”

However, an update from doctors at noon shifted the family’s plans, Sullivan said.
“At roughly 12:00 p.m. he showed the ever slightest movement in one pupil so doctors put everything on hold and we are continuing the waiting game,” he said. “Blood pressure has been an issue and things seem to get worse at night so keep the prayers coming.”
