Levi’s Story

Site created on October 18, 2018

Welcome to Levi Briskie’s caring bridge site!  Levi is an extremely active 3 year old who loves biking, wrestling, hockey and basically anything that gets his strong body moving. He has a loving mom (Kate), dad (Matt), and big brother Elijah.  Levi was taken to Adirondack Medical Center ER on Sunday October 14th with extreme lethargy and trouble keeping fluids/food in his body.  He was airlifted to Albany Medical Center and remains there in the Pediatric ICU.  It was soon found that he had toxic shock syndrome caused by a serious infection of bacteria-strept pyogenese in his bloodstream.  This site is created so that Levi’s  friends and family can be updated on his journey.  Please feel free to share prayers and testimonials here as well.  God is moving in HUGE ways through this terrible situation.  He has a plan for our little Levi warrior (King of the Dark) and is showing in big and small ways that he has never left Levi’s side.  Prayer is powerful and Levi’s family has incredibly strong faith.  God is working through and in all of them.  They’d love to hear if Levi’s story and the power of faith being demonstrated through their family and the broader community is touching you or someone you know.

Journal entry by keela grimmette —

Hi friends, Levi is still dealing with a bone infection and is currently in Boston he will probably be there about a week. He will be having extensive surgery tomorrow with a possible second surgery on Monday. He will also have a new picc line placed and receive more antibiotics. The doctor on his case said that normally with an infection like his the person would be immobilized by the pain and unable to function, but as we all know Levi is an incredibly tough warrior and this whole thing has barely slowed him down. Matt is with him in Boston and Kate is staying here with Elijah.

A new prayer room has been started.  Check the HOW TO HELP area for the link.
