Urgent Prayer Request

I'd like to really beg for prayers for this little 5 year old boy, the son of a friend of mine

Yesterday, Patrick  wandered into the family van alone unbeknownst to anyone at some point in the afternoon. They don't know how long he was in the hot van, but when his Mom found him, he was breathing but nonresponsive. They immediately called an ambulance and they took him to the ICU of Children's Hospital.

Since then, he has been in a coma and, in fact, has taken a turn for the worse.  The nurses and doctors are working with him constantly. He is losing blood and they are doing transfusions. They think it is something worse than heat exhaustion. He might have ingested something poisonous. His heart rate is high. He is is on medications that are keeping his blood pressure down.

His Mom is telling us that things are not looking good.  She asks for prayers to St. Jude.

Thank you for your prayers!

PS: Veronica (the little 5 year old girl who had a stroke and was in a coma) is coming back to her house this weekend!   She is doing miraculously well.  She is using a walker, but it looks like she will eventually make a full recovery.  Thank you so much for your prayers for her!
