Please pray, think good thoughts, whatever you do, please do it..

Generally the "golden hour" following the injury to the brain is the most important in terms of medical operations. If he got in within about an hour, which it sounds like he did if he was air lifted, then that is good.
A coma is a strong predictor of a poor outcome, but semi accurate outcome prediction depends on other factors as well, which right now we don't know. I think it's best that we don't know--it would only depress most of us. Typically with severe TBI a person either dies, or recovers enough to live on their own--very few cases are in between those outcomes.
I am not religious, as I said before, but I know the doctors will do, and are doing, everything they can.
I'm sorry this happened. Tell the boy's mother it is not her fault...life is dangerous. She could no more have prevented this than she could have stopped his school bus crashing, him getting hit by a drunk driver, etc.
It was not her fault, it wasn't her choice. The circle of life isn't always kind, or fair--but it keeps going.
My best wishes go out to everyone who knew the boy, no matter little they knew him, and the boy himself.
I'm really, really sorry. Stories like this tug at my heart strings--everybody's heart strings...but we have to keep going, even when we don't want to.
Stay strong. Provide support when you can, and take care of yourself and your emotions when you need to.
