I received this update from his grandmother this morning:

Please let everyone know that Alec our 5 year old grandson has taken the turn.

He has spiked a high temperature and is sounding gurgley. He is on one hundred percent oxygen and is going from sweating to freezing.

He should not make it more than this evening.

Prayers for the family are requested.

Thanks, everyone. I forgot to mention that last week he told his mama (through signs) that he was tired and ready to go "home", as in heaven.

I received a picture after he received annointing and communion and he was just in ecstasy. It's so beautiful.

I'm still waiting on the bank account information, for those that have requested this information.

Our family will offer our communions at Mass today for Alec.   His passing seems like such a marathon of suffering, Alec sounds as if he is resigned to God's will for him. St Faustina often spoke of praying for those in their 'last agony' praying that it would pass quickly and peacefully - we will pray it does - I sure what purgatory he may have if any - is being done now!

Alec has really been near death's door for a few days, this agony was so hard. Our Good Lord and Our Lady took him home, out of this valley of tears, at 6:20 this evening. He was surrounded by his parents, siblings and grandparents.

I don't know any other details yet.
