Thank goodness the little one is alive and has been taken to a hospital. The little one is reported to be "in stable condition."
Hoping the problems that the little guy had are now gone and will allow him to bring joy to someone who will shower him with love, happiness, and eventually bring joy to someone who deserves him.
Thank goodness the baby was still able to cry -- and thank goodness someone heard it. Another few minutes may well have had a very different situation for that little human being.
