His mum, Tameka Raymond, cuddles her child lovingly with gifts of balloons and toys in the background.
She posted the picture of the touching scene with son Usher Raymond V on Instagram. The touching scene of Usher Raymond V
Tameka added a caption: "My favorite 5 year old. What a blessing!
“I have always loved and appreciated my sons but tragedies and close calls make this even more evident.
"URV had an angel named Kile Ishmael and our Lord and true savior to look after him.
“Words cannot express the relief and how thankful to God I truly am.
"Thank you Jehovah God, Jesus and Kile also The AV worker that saved my son is my Hero!!! Period."
And singer Usher has now thanked them for their heroic actions.
He said in a statement: "I am blessed and fortunate to say that my son Usher V is doing well and is recovering.
"I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, love and support for my family’s well-being.
"I would like to thank my Aunt Rena as well as the doctors and nurses who are working with us around the clock.
"I would especially like to thank the two men who saved my son's life, Eugene Stachurski and Ben Crews.
"They are true heroes and I am deeply grateful to them." Tameka and Usher together
Usher's son is still on an intensive care unit in hospital and is being cared for in a private area, according to TMZ.
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond has not left her son's bedside since the accident earlier this week.
But the tot is recovering and is sitting up in bed and laughing.
This
is not the first time Usher has suffered heartache in his family - his
stepson, who Tameka was mother to from a previous relationship, passed
away after a jet ski accident a year ago.
