“I believe he will be healed," the 48-year-old (whose real name is Christopher Sarantakos) told Us Weekly.

But the tot isn't out of the woods yet. He's still undergoing intense chemotherapy treatments, blood transfusions and spinal taps in Australia, where he lives with his mom, Shaunyl Benson, Criss' ex-wife.

“What doctors found is you have to continue treatment to kill all the cells, as there is no guarantee,” the entertainer explained.
