Sharon Stone shared devastating family news and pleaded for prayers from Venice, where she is shooting a picture.
River Stone, Stone’s 11-month-old nephew and godson, was discovered”in his crib w severe organ failure ,” she said on Instagram. The boy was taken to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, according to Tasha Stone, the boy’s mother. She posted on Facebook that he was there in a coma.
Tasha Stone wrote, “He is currently in a coma and I am dying.” River’s father is Stone’s younger brother, Patrick Stone. “This is literally killing me every single second. I simply need my darling, sweet child back. If he survives, the doctor predicted that he will never be the same. I humbly request for prayers so that my baby can be healed and reunited with his family, who adore him dearly. I’m very devastated.”
In addition, the 63-year-old “Basic Instinct” actor posted a picture of the infant in what appears to be an ICU bed, surrounded by tubes and monitors on his face and body. Additionally, Stone requested prayers for the infant. We require a miracle.
Sharon Stone and her sister-in-law did not disclose any other information regarding the boy’s condition or what led to the organ failure, including if it was an unexpected emergency or if the boy had an ongoing medical problem.
According to The Daily Mail, a number of Stone’s relatives have recently struggled with major health issues, including COVID-19 cases. Stone revealed that her godmother and grandmother had passed away from the virus’s consequences, while Kelly, her sister, had also become ill but had recovered.
Whatever is going on with River, Yale Medicine reports that sepsis is an alarmingly frequent cause of organ failure in infants and young children. A life-threatening illness known as sepsis, which affects around 75,000 kids annually, occurs when a child’s immune system “spins out of control” while battling a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.
Organ failure and tissue damage can result from severe inflammation throughout the body. According to the Yale Medicine website, the body can enter a stage of sepsis termed “septic shock” when organs start to stop working. At this point, death is a real possibility.
What’s particularly concerning is that any youngster can develop sepsis, and it can begin with a wound as little as an infected scratch on the arm, according to the website. Children with compromised immune systems, infections, or hospitalization make for particularly vulnerable adults.
It’s further concerning that sepsis is difficult to recognize in youngsters; early symptoms include fever, lethargicness, nausea, vomiting, generalized pain and discomfort, lightheadedness, and dehydration. Intensive care units in hospitals are typically used to treat infants and kids who have sepsis.
The star’s celebrity friends and others filled her comments section with encouragement and requests for prayers as Stone’s nephew was receiving treatment. Sharon Osbourne, a former co-host of “The Talk,” commented, “Bless him sending so much love and prayer,” while Kate Hudson wrote, “Sending light and healing love.”
“Holding you and your family in prayer,” the filmmaker Ava DuVernay wrote in her letter. The remark “God plz gather angels to surround this adorable boy” by Carnie Wilson was followed by a large number of prayer emojis.
Stone posted a picture of River in a car seat to commemorate her birth almost a year ago. The actress captioned the September 13 image, “Look who’s heading home: River William Stone.” “The newborn child of my brother Patrick and his wife Tasha.”
Some images of River as a contented baby can be found on Tasha Stone’s Facebook page. Tasha commented on how he was self-feeding some solid food in one set of photographs commemorating him at five months old. He was also cuddling with his bigger sibling.
Quinn, 15, Laird, 16, and Roan, 21, are the three sons that Stone is the mother of and has raised alone. All of her sons were adopted, and in a 2017 essay about becoming a mother through adoption, she said, “Motherhood didn’t come easy, but it came gently to me by angels. Our family is content and fortunate. Our guiding principle is that.

Four days after being evacuated to a Pittsburgh hospital for what the actor described as “complete organ failure,” Sharon Stone on Monday posted a video of her 11-month-old nephew, River, with a note confirming that he had passed away.
“River William Stone, September 8, 2020 – August 30, 2021,” Stone wrote in the description of the Instagram video of her blue-eyed godson laughing and rolling around on a bed. “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton plays in the background of the video.
