Hello Everyone!

Levi is much happier at Grandma Anne’s house. He is taking IV antibiotics twice a day for two hours to fight the infection in his head. The doctors want to be very careful, so he is on quite a bit of antibiotics. When he isn’t on the drip he is always wanting to go do things out of the house. He has to be very careful and wear his helmet and he wont be able to be real active for around six months.

We have an appointment with the neosurgeon next week to see when they will put his bone back in, it should be sooner then we think because the incision is healing so well, probly in four or five weeks. That surgery will be his last if there aren’t any complications. After that he should heal very quickly, but the risk of extreme long term injury will be high for the next six months. So it is a long road, but it would have been longer if he weren’t with us.

Its Buffalo Bill Days in Golden and we saw a few people walking around last night. Levi has alot of love around him and its always so good to see familiar faces. Thank you to everyone for their support and concern, we love you all. We will be in Golden again tonight for the festivities so maybe we’ll see you there!

Lots of Love, Robyn & Levi

PS if anyone ever has any questions please feel free to ask!

Hi this is Levi,

I am finally out of the hospital. I want to say thanks to everyone for their support and prayers. Thanks to Thomas Zittel for making this site, Jill and Scott Twehous (The Board Cartel) for spending so much of their time to helping me and my family, and Lucas Bond for helping me out with my skateboarding career. Thanks also to Pregnitosaurusrex (My fiance, Robyn) for being by my side day and night. I’ll be back on my skateboard as soon as I can. P.S. six months from now- Robyn. Love you Guys

Levi is recovering well since the second surgery. Hopefully he’ll be able to go home tomorrow. He’ll be staying at his Grandma Anne’s house so they can keep a constant eye on him. He won’t be able to get the piece of bone put back in his head for a couple months. For those who haven’t heard Robyn and Levi’s wedding is postponed until further notice, probably next spring sometime. We want Robyn and Levi to enjoy their wedding and it is decidedly too soon after the accident for them to do so. Thank you for everyone who came to the benefit on Saturday. They were able to raise over $2000 for Robyn and Levi! So awesome. Love you all and thank you again for all of your support.

Hi everyone!
Levi is no longer at Spalding. He has to have surgery to repair some of the incision on his head. That will be tomorrow, and hopefully he’ll be able to come home in a few days and have at home care. Thanks to everyone who participated in the comp today. I couldn’t personally make it, but I saw some footage and it looked like alot of fun. Love you all thank again!

Hello Everyone,

It’s Robyn. There is an overwhelming amount of support from all of our friends, family, and others who want to help Levi, Me & the little one on the way, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Levi is now located at Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital in Aurora. His schedule is kind of intense there so far, but if anyone wants to visit its best in the mid afternoon from 4-6. That may change though. If you would like to come down please call me and I will be able to tell you if its cool. They are definitely more strict about visitors then the other places he was at, but I know he needs to see people to keep him sane, so please don’t hesitate. 

Levi is doing well. Eventhough he can talk perfectly normal, he doesn’t quite understand what the hospital is going to help him with yet. That is: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Attend to his wound from his surgery. His physical strength is definitely surpassing his mental condition. He can walk, but his balance is still uneasy. He is at serious risk of falling, so they have to be very careful, but he is very good at putting his helmet on when he gets up. You can tell he is frustrated and wants to go home, but this facility is wonderful and will get him back to Levi in no time. They are going to have a confrence tomorrow to set his projected release date. We will definitely let you know when that will be.

Levi and I will be finding out early next month whether our baby will be a boy or a girl. Levi knows we are having a baby, but for some reason he has asked me twice if we are keeping it! He’s coming around, he better because we have a wedding at the end of August and I’m not walking down that isle alone.

Thanks again everyone. I hope to see you all this Saturday at Woodward Skatepark for Levi’s benefit Skate Contest! It should be a great time, we may be able to bring Levi too, but we still have to check on that. See you soon!

Thank you to everyone who came to the 4th of July bbq and benefit at my parents house, it was a greater success than we could’ve dreamt of. Also thank you to those who came down to Kindred yesterday to celebrate Levi’s birthday with him. He was definitely stoked to see everyone. Today they will try to find a room for Levi at the short term care facility, but if that doesn’t work out, Jeannie says she wants him to come home. Either way Levi is getting better and better each day. Hopefully he will be able to make it to the benefit skate comp., but at this point we don’t know if that will happen. I will keep you updated.

Friday 3:15pm

Levi is doing so well that on Monday they will be moving him to the short term care facility! He walked to the bathroom for the first time this morning! Unfortunately he can’t make it to the bbq tonight, but we want to celebrate his birthday on Sunday with him. Friends and family are invited to Kindred Hospital to celebrate with him as well. 2:00pm Sunday at 1920 High St. in Denver, you’ll need to get a badge at security as well. Be there peeps!

They moved Levi from St. Anthony’s to Kindred downtown at 5:30pm this evening. It was a hard move for him and is sleeping now because he wore himself out. We don’t know how long they will keep him there, but he’ll have to go back to the hospital to have the bone plate put back on his head. Hopefully soon, so he can really start the, hopefully short, road to recovery. I’ll will notify everyone once he is ready for visitors. Thank you.

This morning Levi is very tired so he slept a good while. The neurologist said the speed of Levi’s recovery is “unbelievable” and a “miracle”. It just says something about how remarkable Levi really is. The doctors said it’s possible he will be moving from the i.c.u. at St. Anthony’s to a Kindred care facility within the next few days. Please keep sending your prayers and positive vibes, as we know they have been helping. Thank you.
