Ryan Switzer said Saturday that he and wife’s nine-month-old son, Christian, is in the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers and current Cleveland Browns wide receiver asked for prayers and noted that Christian woke up in his own blood:

I’m asking everyone that this tweet comes across to please just take a second and say a prayer for our son Christian. He’s 9 months and currently in the hospital after he woke up in his blood. He’s Covid positive.

Hours later, he would update that doctors were trying to find the source of bleeding and said Christian needed a blood transfusion:

The doctors are still trying to find the source of the bleeding. He’s been getting fluids and medicine as he waits for a CT scan. They’ve made us aware that he needs a blood transfusion. Praying that he avoids surgery. Only 1 parent is allowed in the room so my wife is with him.
