I am riding in memory of our son, Levi.
On April 5, 2021, Levi came into this world with the bravery of a buffalo facing a fierce winter storm. He was born at Children's Hospital Colorado with a long list of congenital heart defects including Heterotaxy Right Atrial Isomerism, AV Canal, AVSD, DORV, TAPVR, Pulmonary Atresia, and obstruction of his pulmonary veins. He had his first open heart surgery at six hours old. Levi fought an uphill battle with chylous effusion, fevers, pain, poor perfusion, and infection. He persevered through ECMO, emergency open heart surgeries, cardiac catheterizations and quadruple amputation. For 119 days he brought light and joy to everyone who cared for him. On August 2, 2021, he was called home to receive his angel wings.
We promised Levi his story wasn't over and we are here to carry on his legacy.
