The Grammy award winning artist took to social media with an urgent plea for prayer after his 2-month-old son, Leo Oliver Smallbone stopped breathing during a nap.
“Yesterday I was mowing the lawn when I heard my wife frantically yelling for me to call 911. I wasn’t immediately sure why until I saw her holding our little boy, Leo, who was very gray and looking lifeless. She felt God impress on her to check on him while he was napping and after many prayers and some CPR, our little boy started to breathe again,” Smallbone revealed.
The 30 year old singer later uploaded a photo of his son in hospital to give update about his son’s health.
“We’re all currently at the hospital running tests and not sure about all that happened. We understand now more than ever that these kids aren’t ours, but God entrusts them to us for a time. We will hold him that much tighter and we’re that much more thankful that he spared Leo’s life. Leo is stable and doing great but would covet your prayers!” He wrote.
