Tameka Raymond Asks For Prayers For Kile, Family May Remove Life Support

Posted: 15 Jul 2012 10:02 AM PDT

Tameka Raymond has taken to her social network for the first time since her son Kile's jet skiing accident.  Get the updates inside...

After 1 week with 11-year-old son Kile Glover on life support after he was involved in a jet skiing accident on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Tameka Raymond has asked for prayers via her social network.  She tweeted for the first time since the accident, "#Pray4Kile".  She also changed her Twitter background and avatar to a picture of Kile to garner support.

Her ex-husband Usher has been by her side the entire time.  But since Kile was declared brain dead, it seems there have been no significant changes in his health.  But Tameka has not lost hope.

TMZ reports that Tameka's family is considering taking Kile off of life support as early as the beginning of next month.  Or as long as the insurance company will continue to fund as, reportedly, she will not be able to cover the large hospital bills herself.

According to our sources, Tameka can only keep Kyle on life-support as long as her insurance company agrees to pay ... otherwise she doesn't have the funds to cover the enormous hospital bills.

We're told the insurance company hasn't set a specific deadline, but they've made it clear ... they're only willing to shell out coverage for a couple months ... tops.

Our sources say that Usher -- who helped raise Kyle for several years -- has been incredibly supportive in this difficult time... but has NOT offered to pay for any medical bills. We're told Tameka does not see him as a viable financial option.

Meanwhile, we're keeping Kile in our prayers.

Jason Kidd is celebrating signing to the New York Knicks...plus he and his new wife Porschla Coleman (who already has a bangin' post baby bod) have a brand new baby girl at home. Pics inside.....

 

 

In addition to celebrating the birth of their baby girl a little while ago, NBA baller Jason Kidd and wife Porschla Coleman celebrated news of his trade to the Knicks this week.  The Knicks gave them the VIP treatment with a helicopter ride this week to get them to the press conference where Jason copped his brand new jersey. 

 

Porschla tweeted:

The Knicks organization treated us so nice today, Loved the Helicopter!! Back to the life now; headed to grocery store :-)

And Jason recently tweeted pics of his growing family and one of his 2-year-old son sleeping next to his new sister.  Cute!

Obviously, Jason's really happy about his 3-year deal worth $9 Million.  We would be too. He tweeted, "Big day signing with the Knicks, excited for the future and grateful for the past. ‪#Mavs‬ and ‪#Dallas‬ were good to us and we'll miss you all."

 

It looks like Mr. Kidd loves being a family man.  With 6 kids and all you'd almost have to be...
