Lil Wayne in critical condition after suffering multiple seizures

Sadly, things are not looking good for Lil Wayne.

According to reports, Lil Wayne is currently in critical condition in ICU after experiencing multiple seizures caused by a Sizzurp binge.

Via TMZ:

We broke the story … the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars Sinai Hospital in L.A. Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures. He was released Wednesday but just hours later one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious.

Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, but this time he did not stabilize. He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.

We’re told Wayne is currently “unstable,” and has been placed in an induced coma. He is breathing through tubes.

We’re told several people are at Wayne’s bedside crying, and a number of rap artists and family members are on the way. Sources say the scene is violent as Wayne shakes uncontrollably.

Sources say there’s evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.

We’re told Wayne’s stomach was pumped 3 times to flush the drugs from his system.

Update:

5:16 PM PT — We’re told Wayne is being given his last rites … with his family surrounding him to say their goodbyes.

Prayers up for Lil Wayne. This is so sad and heart breaking.
