Landyn is still fighting for his life at the Children's Hospital of King's Daughter (CHKD).
The community came together on the lawn outside of CHKD to pray for him and his family.
Landyn's parents say he was put in medically induced coma and has brain damage. His parents also say he had a CT scan done on Monday and good results came back.
"Then we’ll see what he’s able to do and what he’s capable of doing with the damages he has to his brain," Emily Rigsby, Landyn Davis's mother, said.
