Transcript

00:00 "My best bud."

00:09 Spencer Wright's 3-year-old son Levi, taking off life support following his near-drowning

00:14 incident last month.

00:16 The rodeo star's wife, Kelly, sharing the heartbreaking news on Facebook alongside this

00:20 sweet video writing their family is letting him go.

00:32 Levi has been hospitalized since driving his toy tractor into a river on May 21st.

00:37 The Beaver County Sheriff's Office says his family called 911, saying they couldn't find

00:42 him.

00:43 But he was quickly found and received life-saving measures before being taken to a nearby hospital.

00:48 The toddler was in critical condition due to his brain being deprived of oxygen for

00:52 too long.

00:53 Kelly writes in her post, "After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations

00:58 with the world's best neurologists, and millions of prayers, we are here in the face of our

01:03 biggest fear."

01:04 Adding, Levi showed them just enough to buy them time for all of this.

01:08 "We see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go.

01:11 I told you my baby was thoughtful and considerate.

01:14 I truly believe he did that for us."

01:17 And after discussions with doctors, Kelly says the family would be ending further medical

01:22 intervention for her son.

01:24 But during this difficult time, Levi brought out humanity across the nation and reminded

01:28 them what truly matters in this world.

01:30 "Here soon, I'll climb into my bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the

01:34 last time on this earth.

01:36 I find comfort in knowing he will be restored to the perfect little boy he was and have

01:40 the ability to do all the things he loves.

01:42 I know there are angels up there waiting to hold him until I can again."

01:51 We love you baby beans and I can't wait till the day you can work the ground with me again.
