Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
You haven't given the complete history related to your Son's health, what exactly has happened to him? Going by what you are saying, he has had a cardiac arrest and he has been resuscitated successfully. May be he s been put on adrenaline drip to keep his heart pumping so that the vital organs get adequate blood supply. He needs ICU admission and nothing can be said until the next 24 hours. Don't worry, he will be alright and Good Luck, take care.
