Kallie Wright, the wife of rodeo star Spencer Wright, shared a heartbreaking update on their three-year-old son, Levi, who is in critical condition after an accident in the Utah River. Levi nearly drowned and was feared brain-dead after falling off a toy tractor into the river on Tuesday. Despite initially discouraging MRI results, Levi showed signs of progress that gave the family hope. Family friend Mindy Clark shared that Levi’s EEG monitor showed brain activity when he heard his sister’s voice and other familiar sounds. Kallie Wright asked for prayers as the family seeks the best medical care for Levi.
Levi was playing outside his family’s Beaver County home when he disappeared, prompting his mother to post a plea on Facebook for help finding him in the water. The Beaver County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a boy falling into the river off a toy tractor and later being found unconscious downstream. Kallie dialed 911 and jumped into the water to find Levi, who had been carried quite a distance. Initially, the family’s outlook was bleak, but testing on Wednesday brought hope as the doctor felt strongly that Levi needed more time for a potential miracle.
Spencer Wright, a renowned saddle bronc riding competitor ranked 40th in the world, and his wife Kallie have been the subject of media attention, with the family featured in the book “The Last Cowboys” and on “60 Minutes.” The Wright family, which includes three other rodeo-star brothers, made history in 2014 when all four qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Despite their fame and success in the rodeo circuit, the family is currently focused on Levi’s recovery. Spencer Wright was the champion of the Rio Grande Livestock Show and Rodeo earlier this year and has found support from friends, fans, and the rodeo community during this difficult time.
The family remained hopeful as Levi showed signs of progress, with the EEG monitor indicating brain activity in response to familiar voices and sounds. Kallie Wright requested prayers for her son as they sought additional medical opinions and hoped for a miracle. Despite the initial discouraging MRI results, the family was determined to hold onto hope and give Levi more time to recover. The outpouring of love and prayers from the community has been a source of strength for the Wright family as they navigate this challenging time.
Kallie Wright expressed gratitude for the support the family has received, acknowledging the kindness and prayers that have been shared since Levi’s accident. While the medical situation remains uncertain, the family is staying focused on Levi’s recovery and seeking the best care possible. As Levi’s mother called for continued prayers and shared updates on his condition, the community rallied around the Wright family, offering comfort and support during this trying time. The family remains hopeful for a positive outcome and is taking each day as it comes, holding onto faith and love as they navigate Levi’s recovery journey.
