Kallie Wright, 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 he fell off a toy tractor into the river on Tuesday. Though he woke up briefly on Friday, the boy's mother said on Friday the family is "shattered" after seeing the MRI result. 

"The MRI wasn't good, we're shattered but it is just images that suggest a certain quality of life," wrote Kallie Wright, who has been posting updates about her son on Facebook. "Our real teller of all will be what Levi does over the course of a few days."

Levi was admitted to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City after his accident on Tuesday. Although the MRI results appeared discouraging, there were signs of progress earlier that gave the family hope.

Family friend Mindy Clark, who has also posted updates about the boy on social media, shared Friday that Levi's EEG monitor showed brain activity when he heard his sister's voice telling him "how she was hoping he'd get better and couldn't wait for him to come home." The monitor also reacted when the family played him dinosaur sounds from one of his favorite books and when his mother kissed him, Clark said.

Wright asked for prayers as the family continues
