Levi Wright, the young son of rodeo star Spencer Wright, has tragically passed away.
The three-year-old succumbed to a traumatic brain injury sustained from a near-drowning incident on May 21.
Levi was driving a tractor toy and fell into a river. He was rushed to the Salt Lake City hospital where he was hospitalized. Local law enforcement located Levi unconscious around a mile downstream.
Levi was initially declared brain dead and was not expected to survive, but he still showed signs of improvement.
“LEVI WOKE UP! I am shook, we don’t know much but the doctor said it was okay for me to get excited about that and I AM! My baby is so tough!” his mother Kallie Wright posted on Facebook.
Sadly, the results of the MRI done the following day “weren’t good.”
“We’re shattered but it is just images that suggest a certain quality of life. Our real teller of all will be what Levi does over the course of a few days,” Kallie shared.
His fight continued as family and friends prayed for his recovery.
Unfortunately, the family was forced to make a heartbreaking decision.
“After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world’s best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear,” she wrote. “Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this. We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go.”
Following a number of scans and tests, as well as consultations with the medical personnel, the family decided to take Levi off life support.
The news of Levi’s tragic passing was confirmed by Mindy Sue Clark, a friend of the family.
“I cannot even begin to explain how hard the last two weeks have been. From the moment my phone rang the night of his accident, to last night receiving the message that he had to go. I don’t want to focus on the bad or sad, even though it feels like someone ripped my heart out and squeezed it right in front of me. I want to focus on the many miracles we all got to bear witness to in those 12 days.
“The most perfect three year old there ever was. So perfect we didn’t get to keep him. This baby boy moved mountains the last 12 days. He brought so many people together. In a world so dark, we got to see light at the hands of a child. He’s everything his mom and dad could’ve wanted him to be.”
We are so very sorry for this devastating loss. Rest in peace, Levi.
