CLEVELAND – Browns receiver Ryan Switzer said his son has been hospitalized again and is undergoing a blood transfusion.
Switzer posted the latest Twitter update about Christian on Sunday, saying he has another transfusion after his hemoglobin dropped overnight. Switzer said doctors need to increase the boy’s blood count so that it is stable enough to undergo additional tests.
Switzer asked his disciples to pray.
Earlier this week, the 26-year-old father posted a video thanking the audience for the overwhelming outpouring of support for Christian, who underwent surgery last week after being hospitalized for bleeding. Switzer said doctors are still not sure what causes the bleeding. Christian, who was born in May 2020, also tested positive for COVID-19.
Switzer wrote Saturday night that Christian has several “significant bleeds” and that he is back to the hospital.
“We are frustrated, but more than exhausted, to see our son suffer,” Switzer wrote. “We ask for prayers for doctors as they work to find a diagnosis and strength for Christian as he struggles.”
Switzer spent last season on the Cleveland training team. He was with the Pittsburgh Steelers for two seasons after being drafted by the Dallas in the 2017 North Carolina NFL Draft.
