Billy Ray Cyrus' Mother Ruth Ann Casto Hospitalized

Billy Ray Cyrus' mother, Ruth Ann Casto, is in critical care after being hospitalized over the Easter weekend.

"Please say a prayer for my Mom 'Ruthie,'" the country singer tweeted on Sunday. "She is in critical care at the hospital this morning. On my way to be with her. God Bless You All."

Before his mother took ill, the "Hillbilly Heart" crooner was enjoying a laid-back holiday weekend with the rest of his family, and even posted a Twitpic of himself and daughter Miley on a motorcycle trip before they were given the news. "Good Friday. Back in the wind with my buddy again," Cyrus tweeted with the photo.

However, that carefree moment was a fleeting one after the Cyrus clan got the call that their matriarch was in critical condition. Yesterday, Billy thanked his countless fans for their continued support, but said, "We are not out of the woods yet."

Here's to a speedy recovery for Mama Ruthie.

who cares about your credit scores or mate meeting strategies? this comment space is to pass on comments for the family and their sick loved one. On that note: Billy (and family), Ruthie will be in my thoughts and prayers. You had an influence in my teen years and your daughter Miley has been a favorite personality of my teen daughter now and as a Paramedic I tend to empathize more with the families and attempt to show them support. Keep praying and remember that it is God's will, not ours that Will be done.

oh,nice topic. i have heard that a saying goes in China like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him ,nothing matters, let alone the age .i met my BF via~~--Age'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! , he is almost 12 older than me ,but we think we did find the true love .BTW,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? Free of the embarrassment and annoyance, go for what makes you really happy.If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends
