SO SAD

Usher’s stepson’s family may have to switch off life support if insurance firm don’t cough up for huge medical bills

Usher’s ex-wife could be forced to take her 11-year-old son off life support by early next month – because her health insurance coverage is about to expire.
Tameka Raymond has still not lost hope that Kyle Glover can make a recovery – despite being declared brain dead by doctors after he was struck in the head in a jet ski accident last week.
But while Tameka is praying for a miracle, she can only keep him on life support if her insurance company agrees to pay the enormous hospital bills, TMZ reports.

Tragedy: Usher with his ex-wife Tameka back in 2007. New reports say she may have to switch off her son’s life support if the insurance firm don’t pay up
The website claims the insurance firm has not set an exact deadline yet – but will only cover the costs for two months maximum.
The insider also added that Usher has been incredibly supportive – but has not offered to pay the medical bills and that Tameka does not see him as a ‘viable financial option’
Earlier this week Kyle’s family asked for prayers as they keep a bedside vigil following the tragic accident.
He was struck in the head while in the collision while riding an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, last Friday.
His family said in a statement to CNN: ‘We know God’s in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time.
‘We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it’s the best way we can all support him now.’
Usher (real name: Usher Terry Raymond IV), 33, and Foster, who divorced in 2009 after two years of marriage, were in the throes of a bitter custody battle over their sons Usher Raymond V, 4, and Naviyd, 3.

But they are understood have put their differences in the wake of the devastating accident.
Investigators analysing the collision are waiting to see the outcome of his condition before they come to a decision.
Sergeant Mike Burgamy of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources explained that the accident was still under investigation, and that the lead investigators had yet to talk with the district attorney’s office.
He told ABC News earlier this week: ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen with the 11-year-old. We’re going to have to see what his condition is going to be before we present findings of the case.’
Kyle was with an unidentified 15-year-old girl at the time and both children were airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
A friend of the family, 38-year-old Jeffrey S. Hubbard, was allegedly operating the jet ski at the time of the collision.
Sgt Mike said: ‘A pontoon was pulling the two adolescents on an inner tube, and the personal water craft went over the top of them.’
He added about the driver: ‘He was interviewed, and it’s possible he may be reinterviewed.’
