Smullen first reported the accident on February 23rd, the day after his son was injured in the crash on February 22nd. He and his wife asked for prayers.
"Megan and I need your prayers, our son AJ was grievously injured in an accident yesterday while playing with some of his friends. He is in critical but stable condition in the Pediatric ICU at Albany Med after emergency surgery. Thank you for your support, AJ is a fighter and needs all your love." Facebook
It's unknown how old the boy is, nor is it clear how the accident happened. However, the Albany Times Union has reported that that was a car-pedestrian accident in Niskayuna last week.
Smullen thanked people for their thoughts and prayers, and continued support in a Facebook post on Monday.
"Megan and I sincerely appreciate the love, prayers and support for AJ," he wrote.
Smullen's district includes the Mohawk Valley in eastern New York and all of Herkimer County. The seat was previously held by Assemblyman Marc Butler, who is now the Mayor of Newport.
