Rodeo star Spencer Wright asks fans to help boy in hospital room next to his son Levi who is also fighting for his life

Rodeo star Spencer Wright has asked fans to help donate to the young boy lying in the hospital room next to his son Levi.

Three-year-old Taysen Baum has a rare form of meningitis that caused a blood infection known as sepsis.

Doctors said the infection has affected the three-year-old boy’s brain, leading to blood clots, strokes and brain injuries.

Taysen’s parents, like Levi’s, pray for a miracle that their son will survive. Both are being cared for in the Intensive Care Unit at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Last Tuesday, Levi nearly lost his life and suffered a traumatic brain injury when the toy tractor he was driving ended up in a raging river near his home in Utah.

He was unresponsive when first responders arrived. He woke up from a coma, but continues to cling to life.

Levi’s mother, Kallie Wright, asked the community to “wrap their arms around Taysen,” as they have done for their son, to “ease the financial burden his parents are also facing.”

“Taysen’s room was across from Levi’s when we first got here,” Kallie wrote. “We were able to talk to his parents and share our stories. When you experience this together, you feel like family.’

Kallie posted a flyer on her Facebook page asking community members to “join the fight for courageous 3-year-old Tysen Baum.”

“What started as an ear infection on May 10 has turned into a parent’s worst nightmare,” she wrote in part.

‘The road ahead is still very unknown to this little boy. Please continue to share this wonderful family’s story and offer as many prayers as you can to bring the sweet boy home.”

Taysen’s aunt, Candise Callister, asked for prayers as her cousin continued to fight, posting thathis love and support mean so much!’

a GoFundMe was created to aid in Taysen’s recovery. As of Tuesday, more than $9,800 has been raised toward their $12,000 goal.

Levi was initially considered brain dead, but miraculously woke up from a coma. His devastated parents, Kallie and Spencer, prayed for a miracle at their son’s bedside.

Many in the community organize fundraisers for their son. On Saturday at the Junior Roughstock World Finals, Desert Region Rodeo, it was posted that each of the childrenrode a little extra strong for Levi Wright.’

Heartbreaking photos showed the young riders on one knee, bowing their heads with cowboy hats in hand for a moment of silence for little Levi.

“Each of the children wore blue clothes for Levi,” the message read. “They say this is the first rodeo of the entire season where all the young, rugged riders had a little extra spirit and tried.”

On the day of the ordeal, Kallie was outside watching her son play on his tractor and ran into the house to check on her 9-month-old child.

Within that split second, Levi was out of sight. The panicked mother dived into the creek to look for her son in the raging river.

Levi’s devastated parents prepared for the worst, saying they planned to “discontinue care and hold him close until his last breath on earth.”

But Levi miraculously woke up from the coma on Thursday evening, two days after he was initially expected not to survive.

‘LEVI WAKE UP! I’m shocked, 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 cool!’ she said.

“He got a little wild, so we had to calm him down again, but my heart!”

On Friday they received the devastating news that an MRI showed a poor prognosis for the boy.

On the advice of a new doctor, the parents were told to give their son some time.

“We have time for a miracle!” the family wrote on their Facebook after their son woke up.

“Levi’s heart is beating on its own, he has a will to breathe, but his sweet little brain was without oxygen for too long and there is no recovery,” an earlier update said.

Photos on social media show Kallie in her son’s hospital bed, cradling him in her arms, as his father stands nearby.

On Sunday she wrote: ‘This is an experience, I pray deep in my soul that you never have to know how I begin to know.

‘This is a roller coaster that you go through unintentionally and blindfolded, you don’t know what’s coming. All you have to do is wait and ride out. We take it day by day.’

She talked about the type of brain injury her son could suffer, and the uncertainties that lie ahead.

‘The term ‘brain injury’ is very broad, there are different degrees and different degrees of severity. No two brain injuries are the same, even if the accident is similar. No two brains recover or heal the same.

“There is a lot that medical professionals don’t know, but what they tell you is based on legitimate medical literature and history.”

Kallie expressed how grateful she is for her doctor’s guidance. She said: ‘This has given us the most precious gift of time. Something we almost didn’t have.’

“Our doctor is nothing short of outstanding and I believe with all my heart that her heart is invested in him.

“Whether it’s time to see if God gives us a miracle, or whether it’s time for us to explore, learn and process all of this to make the most informed decisions.

In the heartbreaking post, she continued to ask for prayers “for years to come.” She said, “I’m afraid we haven’t even gotten to the hardest part of this yet.”

“Any decision Levi’s father and I will make will be based on what we, the two people who know him best, think he would want. In all of this, he comes first.

‘We investigate the therapies mentioned, talk to those we think can support us and ensure that as many professional eyes as possible are focused on them.’
