Maddie was airlifted to a New Orleans hospital Sunday after her ATV flipped, leaving the child’s head submerged in water for several minutes.
Jamie Spears, Maddie’s grandfather, told Entertainment Tonight, “All I can say is pray for our baby.”
Maddie is said to currently be in critical but stable condition.
