    Rodeo star Spencer Wright’s 3-year-old son has woken up — days after he was considered brain-dead and unsavable after riding his toy tractor into a river.

    “LEVI WOKE UP!” Wright’s wife, Kallie, posted on Facebook shortly after midnight Friday.

    “I am shook, 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 tough!” she added.

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

    The hopeful update on Levi’s condition came less than two days after the Wrights assumed they had lost him, saying that they planned to “stop care and hold him close until his last breath on earth.”

    However, they changed plans on the advice of a new doctor who “felt strongly that we needed to give him more time,” family spokesperson Mindy Sue Clark had said Wednesday.

    “We have time for a miracle!” the family said ahead of the one that apparently just arrived.

    Levi was initially not expected to survive after he drove his toy tractor into a river in Utah on Tuesday.

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

    “We cuddled him all night and feel strongly that his spirit is no longer with us,” the post continued.

    On Thursday, Kallie Wright shared a post thanking the rescuers who pulled the little boy out of the water.

    “To whoever decided to spend close to an hour reviving him and not giving up. I’d hug you if I could,” she wrote.

    “The water was up to my chest and I don’t know if I could have known what to do if I did find him,” the mom added of the frantic scene.

    Spencer Wright, 33, was ranked 35th in the world in 2023 by ProRodeo.

    He comes from a long line of famous cowboys — including his father, ProRodeo Hall of Famer Bill Wright.
