NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The family of the boy who was swept into a storm drain during severe weather last week is praying for improvement to his brain after a “pretty uneventful day.”

Rutherford County Director of Schools Jimmy Sullivan is calling for prayers for his son Asher’s brain to improve after suffering severe damage.

“The reality is that the things Asher could do before, he will not be able to do if he recovers (without unexplainable healing). We will love and cherish any version of Asher we are blessed to keep if that is what is best for Asher,” Sullivan said.

The family shared the following specific prayer requests:

  • The swelling of his brain subsides and the brain herniation resolves.
  • Asher starts to take some breaths on his own again.
  • No new negative changes
  • Pupils show more responses
