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

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

Doctors said the infection has affected the three-year-old boy's brain, resulting in blood clots, strokes and brain injury.

Taysen's parents, like Levi's, are praying for a miracle their boy will survive. Both are being cared for at Primary Children's Hospital Intensive Care Unit in Salt Lake City.

Last Tuesday, Levi nearly lost his life, and sustained a traumatic brain injury when his toy tractor he was driving landed into a raging river near his Utah home.

He was unresponsive when first responders arrived. He woke 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 for their son to 'help lighten the financial burden his parents are also facing.'

'Taysens room was across from Levi's when we first got here,' Kallie wrote. 'We've been able to talk to his parents and share our stories, something about going through this together makes you like family.'

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

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

'The road ahead is still very unknown for this little boy. Please continue sharing this amazing family's story amd semd as many prayers as you can to bring or sweet boy home.'

Taysen's aunt, Candise Callister asked for prayers as her nephew continues to fight, and posted that 'the love and support mean so much!'

A GoFundMe has been created to help with Taysen's recovery. As of Tuesday, more than $9,800 has been raised towards their goal of $12,000.

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

Many in the community have been organizing fundraisers for their son. On Saturday, the Junior Roughstock World Finals, Desert Region Rodeo, posted that each of the kids 'rode a little extra strong for Levi Wright.'

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

'Each of the kids wore blue rode for Levi,' the post read. 'They say this is the first rodeo of the entire season that each and everyone of the kids young roughstock riders had a little extra grit and try.'

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

Within that split second Levi had disappeared from sight. The frantic mother dove into the creek to look for her son in the raging river. 

Levi's devastated parents were preparing for the worst and said they planned to 'stop care and hold him close until his last breath on earth.' 

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

'LEVI WOKE UP! 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 said.

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

On Friday, they received the devastating news that an MRI gave a poor prognosis for the youngster.

At 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 too long and there is no coming back from that,' an earlier update read.

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 you never have to know the way I am beginning to.

'This is a roller coaster that you go on unwillingly & blindfolded, you do not know what's coming next. You just get to wait & ride it out. We are taking it day by day.'

She shared the type of brain injury her son may sustain, and the unknowns that are ahead. 

'The term 'Brain Injury' is very broad, there are ranges and different severities. No two brain injuries are alike, even if the accident is similar. No two brains recover or don't recover the same. 

'There is a lot Medical Professionals don't know, but what they do tell you is based off legitimate medical literature and history.' 

Kallie expressed how grateful she is for the guidance from her doctor, she said 'has provided us the most precious gift of time. Something we almost did not have.'

'Our doctor is nothing short of outstanding and I believe with all of me that her heart is invested into him.

'Whether that is time to see if God provides a miracle to us or whether it's time for us to research, learn and process this all in order to make the most informed decisions. 

In the heartbreaking post, she continued to ask for prayers and 'for years to come.' She said, as 'I fear we haven't even reached the hardest part of this.'

'Every decision that Levi's Dad and I will make will be made based on what, we the two people who know him best believe he would want. In all this, he comes first.

'We are exploring the therapies that have been mentioned, engaging with those we feel can be of support for us & getting as many professional eyes on this as possible.'
