CLEVELAND – Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ryan Switzer said his 9-month-old son was stable after undergoing surgery to stop the bleeding.
Switzer reported on his son Christian’s medical situation over the weekend on Twitter, generating a show of public support.
Switzer latest post Sunday came after the operation was completed and he said his son is “resting”.
Christian finally got out of surgery. The GI specialist found several bleeding sites. He took samples that were sent for biopsy to see what could be causing this, I think. He is stable now and resting. pic.twitter.com/56vMmRkJVS

On Saturday, Switzer said his son “woke up in the blood” and tested positive for COVID-19. He said doctors are trying to determine the cause of the bleeding.
In his latest update, Switzer said a gastrointestinal specialist “found several bleeding sites” and the samples were sent for a biopsy.
Switzer, 26, spent the last season on the Cleveland training team. He was drafted by Dallas in 2017 and spent two years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Switzer initially contacted his Twitter followers asking for prayers for his son, who he said needed three blood transfusions on Saturday due to low hemoglobin levels.
Switzer said he and his wife, Gabie, were “impressed by the number of people who reached out to support Christian”.
