Rodeo Star Spencer Wright’s Son Fighting for Life After Tragic River Accident
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the family of rodeo star Spencer Wright is facing a harrowing ordeal as their three-year-old son, Levi, fights for his life following a tragic accident in the Utah River.
Levi’s mother, Kallie Wright, shared a heartbreaking update on social media, revealing the grim reality of Levi’s condition after he nearly drowned when he fell off a toy tractor into the river. Despite initial fears of brain death, Levi briefly regained consciousness on Friday, providing a glimmer of hope for the family.
However, the optimism was short-lived as the results of Levi’s MRI scan painted a bleak picture, leaving the family “shattered.” Kallie Wright emphasized that while the images suggested a certain quality of life, the true indicator would be Levi’s progress over the coming days.
Family friend Mindy Clark offered some solace, sharing moments of hope amidst the despair. Levi’s EEG monitor showed signs of brain activity in response to his sister’s voice, dinosaur sounds from his favorite book, and his mother’s kiss, providing a ray of hope for his recovery.
As Levi continues to fight for his life at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Spencer and Kallie Wright are appealing for prayers and seeking the best medical opinions and care for their beloved son. Despite the overwhelming challenges they face, Kallie remains determined not to give up on Levi, rallying support from the community and medical experts in their quest for answers and healing.
The tragic incident unfolded on Tuesday when Levi was playing outside his family’s Beaver County home and fell into the river while his mother briefly went inside. The frantic search led to the discovery of Levi unconscious in the water about a mile downstream, prompting an urgent call to emergency services.
Initially faced with grim prospects, the family’s hopes were reignited as testing conducted on Wednesday hinted at the possibility of a positive outcome. Amidst the anguish and uncertainty, the Wright family clings to hope, rallying around Levi as he continues his courageous battle for survival.
