Complications from his condition could possibly lead to grave problems like organ failure. When his symptoms appeared on July 12 and did not subsist, Price immediately called paramedics who rushed Harvey to hospital where he currently is.

This is now the second time this month that Harvey has been rushed to hospital. During his sister Princess’ 13th birthday party earlier in July, the boy complained of chest pains which turned out to be a chest infection.

While his condition has been called stable by doctors, his condition is serious and doctors have elected to keep him in intensive care. A rep for the family says that Harvey is ‘in a bad way’.
