Former NFL running back Peyton Hillis' kidneys have become concern for doctors as he remains in critical condition at a Florida intensive care following last week's swimming accident.

Hillis reportedly rescued his two children from drowning at a Pensacola beach on Wednesday, but was airlifted to a local hospital with lung and kidney damage as a result. Since then, the other issues have improved, while his kidneys remain a concern, according to Memphis' WREG.com.

WREG's reporter was told that Hillis is 'battling and definitely needs as many prayers as he can get,' according to an article on the website. It's unclear who offered that update to the reporter.

A prayer vigil was held in Hillis' native Arkansas on Sunday. Hillis has been volunteering as an assistant coach on his son's team. Both that son, Orry, and Hillis' young daughter were uninjured in the swimming accident.
