Usher & Tameka Raymond’s 5 year old Son In ICU Following a Pool Accident
On this past Sunday Usher posted this photo with him and his son Usher Jr. along with the words
"The love of a family is one of life's greatest blessings."
Usher’s 5-year-old son was rushed to the intensive care unit of an Atlanta hospital after a horrific swimming pool accident.
Usher Raymond V nearly drowned after getting his arm wedged into drain of the family swimming pool Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The boy's aunt, Rena Odin, and a maid had tried unsuccessfully to free the child, who had been trying to retrieve a toy that fell into the drain, but a pair of workmen managed to free the boy, according to Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos.
A paramedic could later be heard on the call telling the dispatcher that Usher Raymond V "drowned but he's breathing now."
Campos said the boy was "conscious, alert and breathing" when paramedics arrived before 4 p.m. He was at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite.
Though the boy is still in the hospital, doctors expect a full recovery.
Usher Raymond V is one of two sons of Usher and Tameka Foster, who divorced two years after getting married in 2007. The singer went through a long legal fight with his ex-wife and was awarded primary physical custody of his two sons last year.
Wow! speaking of bad luck with water, if you remember Foster is still recovering from the death of a son from a previous relationship last year. Usher’s stepson, 11-year-old Kile Glover, died in July 2012 after being struck in the head in a jet ski accident on Georgia’s Lake Lanier.
Tameka Foster's son & Usher's Stepson, Kile Glover, Died in a boating Accident!
Our prayers are once again with the family of Usher who is a very devoted Father.

"My nephew was in the pool and he went in and I couldn't get him," Odin frantically told an emergency operator in the 911 call. "I tried to get him. They got him and did CPR on him."
