Boy, 5, rushed to hospital after recovering from gunshot wound to the head in the Bronx

A 5-year-old boy who returned home just before Christmas after miraculously recovering from a gunshot wound to the head was rushed to a hospital on Saturday.

Little Jaheem Hunter suffered stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the intensive care unit at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia, his family said.

Jaheem’s sister and guardian, Aja Holmes, told the Daily News that doctors were monitoring his condition and trying to determine whether he needed surgery to alleviate fluid on his brain or if antibiotics could heal him.

“I’m just praying,” said Holmes, who took him to the hospital after finding him Saturday morning lying on the floor and speaking incoherently. “It’s in God’s hands.”

Doctors are reluctant to perform surgery, Holmes said. Jaheem has already endured several operations since a bullet pierced his skull on June 5.

“If they open his head up again, it will definitely mean more surgeries in the future,” Holmes said.

He returned to Holmes’ Yonkers home two weeks ago, after spending five months recuperating from his injuries and learning to speak, walk and write again.

Holmes said she was frustrated Jaheem was back in the hospital and “he has to go through this after everything we’ve been through.”

“He was doing so well,” she said.

The tough tyke went through a battery of surgeries, including one to temporarily remove his part of his skull.

The News chronicled his miraculous recovery and his joyful holiday celebrations — including a special visit from three of the Knicks last week and a suite at Madison Square Garden during the team’s Christmas game.
