The worst case scenario appears to have come true for 10-year-old Asher Sullivan, his father, Rutherford County Schools Director James “Jimmy” Sullivan, said Sunday evening after a “really really rough night.”

“He’s not in imminent danger at this very moment, but recovery does not seem possible,” Sullivan said on Facebook. “Please pray for our family and our sweet Asher.”

Since Wednesday, Asher has been in the hospital fighting for his life after he was sucked into a storm drain and swept under neighborhood streets after storms moved through Middle Tennessee hours before. He came out in a drainage ditch and CPR was started in an effort to save his life.

Asher was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment.

His father has been posting updates on his condition via social media ever since. The posts have seen hundreds of shares and comments, with people promising prayers and well-wishes for the family.

Hundreds gathered Thursday outside Christiana Elementary to pray for Asher, his family and for a miracle before singing “Amazing Grace” at the close of the vigil.

Sullivan said Friday there were small signs of neurological activity. Asher opened his eyes slightly and he occasionally breathed on his own, but doctors thought Asher would not survive, the post said.

In the Sunday Facebook post, Sullivan wrote that he and his wife have an impossible decision to make “that no parents should have to face.”

“MRI shows part of the brain herniating into his brain stem, and severe damage to just about all areas of his brain,” Sullivan said. “Despite what we are seeing with Asher each moment, we still were hoping against all odds. Unfortunately, the worst case scenario seemed to have come true.”

The Sunday post follows an afternoon outing made by Declan Sullivan, brother to Asher. The boy spent time with the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team in the dugout for Sunday’s 3-0 win over Tennessee.
