PF.“11-Year-Old Boy Falls into Artificial Coma After Sudden Stroke — Family Prays in Desperation as Hope Seems as Fragile as a Thread”
💔 THE LIFE-OR-DEATH BATTLE OF AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY: JACE WATKINS FALLS INTO A COMA AFTER JUST ONE WEEK OF FLU, FAMILY PRAYING EVERY SECOND 💔
Hueytown, Alabama — what seemed like a magical holiday season suddenly turned into an unnamed nightmare for the Watkins family. Just days before, they were smiling, enjoying peaceful moments and silently praying for a safe holiday. But by the weekend, everything changed in the blink of an eye.
Jace Watkins, an 11-year-old fifth-grade boy, began to feel unwell with the flu — an illness everyone thought was just “normal.” But when Saturday arrived, the nightmare unfolded: Jace convulsed, stopped breathing, and was rushed to Children’s of Alabama, where medical staff performed resuscitation after he was deprived of oxygen for 15 minutes.
Currently, Jace is in a coma, breathing with the help of a machine, while doctors closely monitor his heartbeat and vital signs. His family lives in utter terror as doctors have frankly stated that no further medical intervention is possible at this point. All that remains is hope—fragile, but never extinguished.
His grandmother, Joann Parsons, has sat by his bedside all week, watching his every movement, every breath. “It’s been a nightmare,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. The family is not only praying for Jace’s recovery but also for the strength to get through the coming days, to hold on to their hope in the face of despair.
Family and community are calling for prayers, encouragement, and a glimmer of hope—anything that can help the family hold onto hope for Jace. Every minute, every second that passes is a potential miracle, an opportunity for the boy to fight on, every breath, every moment.
🔥 THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER
Amidst a season of miracles, the Watkins family is living in pain and fragile hope. A story of strength, love, and resilience, but also a chilling reminder that life can change in an instant—and miracles sometimes come from the smallest things: a prayer, a glance, a handshake.
