The family of 2-year-old Aidan Wright said the boy was still in critical condition today after being found unconscious over the weekend in a pond near Kannapolis.
Aidan, who turned 2 today, disappeared Saturday as his parents and other family members were setting up an early birthday party for him at a residence on Hilton Lake Road.
The boy was taken to Carolinas Medical Center--NorthEast in Concord.
The family released a statement today thanking those who helped Aidan after the accident.
"The efforts and quick actions by immediate family members (father Russell Wright and grandmother Sonia Sinclair), as well as additional rescue personnel who later arrived at the scene, have been, and continue to be, greatly appreciated," the statement said.
"Today is his birthday. As of this date, Aidan has been stabilized, but his current condition remains listed as critical. He is receiving round-the-clock care by the dedicated staff at the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital, and we, as a family, remain at his bedside.
"Many concerned people in the community and media have expressed concern regarding Aidan. Appreciating your interest in his condition and ongoing care, at this difficult time, we kindly ask for your respect of our privacy....
"Prayers and best wishes on behalf of Aidan are most welcome," the statement said, "and we greatly appreciate the numerous offers of support from so many people throughout the region."
In response to requests to assist the family financially, a special account in Aidan Wright's name has been established through any branch of Wachovia Bank.
