A 5-year-old boy caught in the Boston Marathon bombings is fighting for his life.

The child is one of two patients still in critical condition following Monday’s attack, Dr. Peter Burke, chief of trauma surgery at Boston Medical Center, told the Boston Herald.

The second critically injured patient is in his 60s.

“This particular event was very much focused on the lower extremities, it seems,” Burke told the paper.

The hospital performed seven life-saving amputations as a result of the attacks, and received 23 patients in total. Of those, 19 remain hospitalized.

Doctors found a stomach-churning variety of concrete, wood, metal and plastic in the bodies of patients caught in the two blasts near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race.

Burke told the newspaper eight patients would go under knife again Wednesday.

“I will not be happy until they are home,’’ Burke said. “I will not be satisfied.”
