Brons has lost so much weight, he almost looks like a little Bobble-head!
Poor kid!
.
.
.
But hey, we are just thrilled to see him, skin & bones, sitting up by himself
and holding up that big, giant noggin without help!
And seriously, look at those poor, tired, baby blues...
He can barely keep his eyes open!
Our little guy has just been through the ringer!
Cross your fingers for a good night's rest...
Heaven knows we could all use one!

Loved watching the videos. What a miracle!!!

This video just made my day! Thank you so much for posting it. I am the one that had the baby that stopped breathing in his sleep. (I posted a comment before). I am thrilled that you have a happy ending like I did. What an adorable little man.
thanks for posting the videos. It is so great to see him doing so well. Our thoughts and prayers are still with you for a quick and healthy return home.
I've been following your story in Kentucky and have shed so many tears for you...the tears haven't stopped but at least they're tears of JOY now!!!!
He has the sweetest smile!! I'm so happy for all of you!
WOW can we really get more, it seems like it was not alot to watch, LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for the updates that you are doing for all of us.
Beautiful! That post brought smiles to me this morning!
What are the dr.s and nurses saying? Are they just astounded?! Any talk yet about getting to come home? It looks like he is really doing great! :)
This is amazaing! Extactic to see your baby doing so so well! Blessings.
Miracles do happen, what a precious little boy... I am so happy I can't stop smiling. Thank you for sharing this inspiring life trial with all of us... You are an amazing mother. What a darling family you have. Prayers will continue to come, my three year old daughter doesn't even forget to mention little Bronson in her prayers... Lots of love!
I love it! Thanks for the updates...I could hardly wait yesterday! :)
What a beautiful sight to see him sitting up and smiling. He is a true miracle. Love to you all!
Thanks for posting these and please continue, for all of us who have been secretly following you :).
All I can say as I wipe the tears is, "Praise God! Praise the Lord Jesus for what He did way back when for little Bronson, the blood that was shed on Bronson's behalf and Bronson shall live and declare the works of the Lord forever!"
My thoughts and prayers are with you all and especially your sweet, gorgeous little tiger. May god bless you all with a wonderful, restful sleep and that Friday (or maybe its Thursday? - I live in Australia and its Friday here tomorrow) brings you more joy and happiness and closer to taking your little man home.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I have a little boy who'll be two in April and a little girl who's 5. Your heart wrenching story is another reminder to me to not take their health and safety for granted. You, my dear, are a beautiful, kind, thoughtful mother and you did what millions of mothers all around the world do - YOUR BEST to look after your family. Don't you ever forget it! Things happen for a reason and this has happened so you can share your story and save other lives through prevention.
Hugs and blessings to you all,

All of the videos are amazing. He is a true miracle... Bronson looks amazing!! I am so happy for your family and for your sweet boy. Thank you for posting the videos and sharing his story. It's all so inspirational. God Bless you all!
So happy to see his progress. Your family will continue to be in our prayers.
:) Love these videos! Go Bronson!! Such a strong willed boy!!! YAY!
Sara,
So good to see Bronson sitting up and smiling with the whole family! We continue to pray for you.
Again, my eyes are filled with tears of JOY! Way to go Bronson!
So AMAZING and EXCITING! We couldn't be more happy for your little man and family! What an incredible miracle. He is just the cutest!
Such absolute joy to see all of those videos and that smiling face. Another stranger just lovin your boy!
A picture is worth a 1000 words but, a video is pricesless. Even if it is sideways ;) God is great. Prayers that Bronson will flurish on his track to a FULL recovery, he will grow and gain his weight back FAST, he will run and play ball and sing his favorite song over and over and over with his HEALTHY lungs. Smiles all around this cold morning here in GA. Miracles are Gods specialty.
What a difference he has made. It is nothing short of a miracle. I am so happy.
yay! love, love, love the videos! your boys are all so cute just snuggled right up around him, singing, cheering him on. so precious. he will be home in no time at all!
xoxo
Thank you for sharing! I get such an overwhelming feeling of joy with each positive update!
All my love to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing the videos. This was a wonderful start to my day. I thought about your family all day yesterday and was hoping that this was the kind of day you were having. He is such a beautiful boy and I am so so happy for all of you! Here's to a swift recovery and to being home soon!
so when i saw the cookie monster, i almost cryed. when my little guy (who has a severe heart defect) was in for one of his open hearts, someone gave him that same cookie monster, and a cookie monster t-shirt. that was 6 years ago, to this day he is still known as "cookie monster"!
so happy for your darling bronson and your family!
I wish I knew you so that I could give your entire family hugs. I can't wait to see more updates showing progress! What a beautiful and strong family.
What a sweetheart!!!!!!!
I am just so amazed--- I feel like he is a miracle. I was so worried when I saw your photo of him doing the "backbend," and am just in AWE of how great he is doing now!
Seriously a miracle...no other explanation!!! I could just watch your little B boy for hours. SO ADORABLE!!!!!
Our whole family is gathered around the computer watching and celebrating the miracle that is Bronson. We couldn't be happier for your family. Prayers full of gratitude and thanksgiving.
Tears of joy for your family!!!!
My wife told me about your experience the other night- we have two little boys, a 2 yr old and 10 month old, and following your experience has touched me deeply. I have felt so grateful for the miracles you are witnessing! We are so happy for you and will pray for you still. Thank you for sharing a very intimate and personal experience and helping others increase their faith in God. I can say as an over-protective father, that Matt's reaction in the ER is an example of love and long-suffering to us all. It is so hard not to get mad and frustrated and play the "if only" and blame game in a crisis such as this. Again, thank you so much for sharing with us. You are in our prayers.
Wahoo! Looks just like any other one year old...perfect!!!!!
wow!! so thrilled for you and your family. found out thru pics and kicks, and verrrrry happy that your story has begun to wrap up so happily. godspeed.
Glad he is progressing. I hope you all got that good night's rest that you so desperately needed. May God bless you and yours.
I came across your blog thru one of my friends. Can I just say how HAPPY I am for your family. He looks like he is doing wonderful! I am so happy for your whole family. May the Lord continue to bless your lives and his recovery. Thank-you for sharing this with us so we as parents can have a reminder and not necessarily go thru it ourselves.
It is great to see his excitement with you guys. I hope the miracles keep pouring in. Please know I am here if you need anything.
Much Love,
Melanie Gorney Schipaanboord
God Bless your precious hearts!! I've never witnessed such a strong family....such faithfulness and support.....miraculous!
Sleep well, sweet dreams and how lovely to know when you go to sleep that you wont have to endure that hideous moment when you wake up and haven't remembered and then it all comes crashing back in. Now you can go to sleep and wake with joy to watch another days miracles unfold.
God is so good! Rejoicing with you!
Truly amazing! I am so happy for Bronson and your family!!!
I kept checking yesterday for updates! LOVE the family videos thanks for sharing
You don't know us but we are a friend of Karen Petersens. She told my sister about your blog who told us and we have been following your updates. My little three year old has loved watching the videos as well as us. We are so happy for you that he is doing so well. We will keep you in our prayers. The Smiths, Heber City, UT
That sweet little Bobble-Miracle made my morning. The videos are great! So happy to see him wiggling those little legs and sitting up on his own. Go, Bronson!!
So amazing to have witnessed this miracle! Thanks for all the updates!
And... if it makes you feel any better... my little one (who is just a few months younger than B) naturally has a really big noggin. 95th %ile head on a 75th %ile body... so he is ALWAYS our little bobble head... and a cute one too ;-)
Sara, I am so over the moon for you guys!!!! I have been checking your blog for updates several times a day. I wept when you posted that he was truly awake. Much love to you and yours!
Love,
Lu
Tears of joy for your family. Thanks for posting the videos...he really is a miracle boy!
How amazing to see him doing SO well! Thank God! What a miracle. I'll be praying for you guys.
What a wonderful miracle we've all witnessed! I can't wait to hear that he's going home! Yay Bronson!! :)
So, I just found out you're neighbors of my in-laws! What a small world.
I am so so happy to see little Bronson's progress!
Thank you for sharing your miracles - they strengthen all of us. So happy for you all that he is back! I think I will always feel that he belongs a little bit to all of us who prayed so hard for him.
As we say in the military Bronson, HOOAH!
Origins of Hooah in the U.S. Military
"It means we have broken the mold. We are battle focused. Hooah says, Oh Look at me."
We're looking at you as you fight your way back. Without a doubt you're a battle ready warrior. Lucky for you the Big General in Heaven is leading the way.
Prayers continue for full recovery.
I have loved seeing this little boy come back to your family. What a joy it is to see him so alert! I'm so happy for your family. We continue to pray that things will keep going so well for you all!
Each one of these videos are so so sweet! What a precious miracle Bronson is...we are SO happy for you...words cannot begin to express...you are a wonderful mommy and you have a beautiful family! I love seeing Bronson with his 3 big brothers, it is so tender. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Bronson's smile is SO wonderful!!!!
I have cried each and every time I have visited your blog. I have cried in saddness over your family tradegy...agony for you, Mom...an now total, amazed tears of JOY.
He looks so wonderful.
I am just in AWE at this little boy! Look at him sitting up, smiling, and being alert! WHAT A MIRACLE, and what a blessing for your family. I think a new nickname is in order: Miracle baby!!!!!!
Wow! I have been following your story and praying for a miracle. What a testimony builder to know that our Father in Heaven truly does answer prayers and there are still truly miracles on the earth today! You have such an amazing and strong family. I admire all of you for your strength! What a little blessing he is! He is adorable and I wish you continued miracles!!
I am so happy for you and your family that Bronson is back in your arms. Like many I have become invested in his story and while in the past my tears were from sadness; today they are from joy. Sara, you have no idea how much your strength and testimony means. You are an inspiration of faith and Bronson is a miracle of that faith and prayer.
All the videos are so wonderful and make me so happy to see.
So so grateful for your miracle.
My little boy wanted to watch DO AS I'M DOING over and over again. So great! So great!
We went to the temple for my birthday two days ago and put your Bronson's name on the prayer roll... its amazing to see such miracles happening.
We are so grateful for your strength and courage! Congratulations! Tears of joy over someone we've never met....
We are so so happy for your family miracle! Thank you for sharing it with the world. Our Father in Heaven is truly a God of Miracles!
We just want you, precious Bronson, and your beautiful family to know how thankful we are for the miracle you have and continue to receive. Your inspirational and beautifully written blog has touched and inspired us beyond measure. Our prayers continue to be with Bronson and your family.

So glad to see him smiling and taking everything in. Thanks so much for sharing your story and your testimony-your family has touched many. Thanks again and here is to a speedy recovery.
I'm so happy for your family!!!!
OH Sara, he looks so good and it's so good to see these videos. Thank you for sharing. We are still praying for his recovery to go smoothly.
Ah, my daily dose of Bronson complete with video - you've given us straight up, to the left and the right - now you must post video upside down so my collection is complete!
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. My sister came accross your blog and shared it with me and I have shared as well. I am a mother of 4 young children and it so easily could have been me in your shoes. It's so easy to leave for that quick second to grab something or help one of the other kids, something I have done many times. I feel like your story came to me as a wake up sign to stop worrying about the little things, they will always be there and infact they are just little things that don't matter. I cherish everyday with my kids and am so thankful that you will still be able to also! We are praying for Bronson and hoping that he will be home with you all very soon. He is an amazingly stong little boy, you are truly blessed! Thank you again for sharing your story, honestly and from the heart. I have cried many tears, sad and now happy for you...
You have a beautiful family and the videos show the love you have for one another. I loved watched those and seeing him so wide awake and happy to be with his family again. My prayers will continue to be for a speedy recovery but will also turn to thanks for this wonderful miracle we have all witnessed!
So happy for you!
We are so happy for you guys that Bronson is doing so well. It is a wonderful miracle and I'm so grateful Heavenly Father is watching over your family. Feel the love from Houston!
Your little Bronson is proof that God still works miracles. Thank you for sharing your story and for the reminder just how precious the little things on a day to day basis can be.
We've been following you from here in California as well as Utah. It's great to see Bronson. Best wishes for returning home soon.--Joyce and family
Bronson is BEAUTIFUL, even with a big weight loss. What a miracle. God has truly blessed you and your family. So happy to see this. Praying he recovers fully and gets to go home where he belongs, very soon.
My three year old saw this, started clapping and said, "yay, he's feeling better!!!" We are so happy for your miracle:)
What a sweet, sweet boy!!!! What a miracle he is. He went through so much and now look at him....incredible...simply a miracle. So glad we get to see him on video doing awesome. Still in our prayers.
Crying again with joy in my heart!!
Love you guys and now I am always going to be singing that song in my head when I need to be strong in any given situation.
XOXOOX
The smile. That is pure joy. Tears. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story. For helping to boost my faith. For something for our family to cheer together for. To pray for. To have faith together for. That smile is going to be my push today to be a little better myself.
Really truly SO HAPPY for you & your family!!!!!!!!!
Words can not express how happy we are right now. I prayed and thank God all day yesterday for the Miracle he was doing in room 2314 for little Bronson. Today....I sobbed more tears of joy and thankfullness to our God when I saw all of the precious videos. Thank you for taking the time to do that for all of us who are so concerned for your family. thank you god for this Mircale that is Bronson. We love him so!!! Thank you Sara and Matt for being such great examples and testiments to the power that is God. So happy for your family. We will continue to Pray and you all are in our thoughts constantly throughout each day and night. Hugs!!!
I am LOVING the videos... just amazing! ABSOLUTELY a miracle :)

This is the most wonderful thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sitting here with joyful tears in my eyes - that smile is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time!
I don't know you personally, but your blogged has profoundly touched my life, and reminds me to hug my babies a little bit closer. I'm so grateful for the miracle Heavenly Father has provided for your family, and thankful that you've shared your story to allow others to experience His goodness, as well.
I got the link for your blog from a friend on Facebook. I am so blessed to have watched your miracle unfold before me. It has showed me the true powers of Our Father in heaven. I will pray that Bronson will continue to recover and that God will keep your family in His loving arms.
I have been following your story and shed many many tears. Every time you post something new I cry. Tears of joy, tears of heartache, tears of mother to mother. You have so much strength and you are truly AMAZING. I am so happy to see improvement. I dont know you or your family but through this tragic time I feel like I do. I am praying for your family. I hope that you have more good days than bad. Good luck to you and I look forward to the updates! God bless!

I could just kiss him all over his cute little face....so happy that he is "back"!
I am so happy for you guys! a Miracle Baby for sure.
I just can't tell you how happy I am to see his smile. A boy I have never met! My husband and I have been praying for you and I when I saw the video I RAN into the other room to show him your little guys smile! Praise God!!!

I am so happy for your happy ending.
Yeah!!! No more tubes and stuff on his precious little face!!! So wonderful! Can't wait for you to be able to bring him home!
He's such a little cutie!
Love it!!! Wish I could squeeze those cute cheeks! What a precious little smile. Love you guys! Any news on when he will get to go home with you???
XOXO!!!
I just read through your blog and what happened. I do not know who you are, but can not imagine the nightmare. SO GLAD to see your baby doing well. And as a busy Mom, no judgments are passed at all, we all could of done the same thing with all that we have going on. Bless you and your family and to all of us a lesson learned to not move so fast in this life.
God is GREAT! The power of prayer is AMAZING what a testamoney builder.. your son went through all of this for a reason, as you have said. He has brought all of these strangers together.... those of many faiths! He is an angel and he had touched my life forever... i don't know him but feel so much love for your little boy... I'm amazed :)
I LOVE all of these!! :) I could watch them again and AGAIN! Love you B!
What a beautiful gift from God! You have an amzing boy on your hands! I have 3 little boys myself and your mistake could've easily been mine. Please try not to feel guilty, God has forgiven you already and I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Think of how many lives you may save from this, I know I for one will never, ever leave my kids in the tub again, not even for a second. Thank you for sharing your story!! It makes my heart so incredibly happy to see Bronson so happy and alert.
I am so very happy for you guys. How my heart was just aching for you. As a mother of four too I could almost feel your pain. He is adorable and has blessed so many lives. Thanks again for sharing your story with us. {hugs}
What a precious! He looks wonderful. I am SOOOO overjoyed at this outcome! Can't wait for you to be able to take him home.

Oh, just look at that smile! What a true miracle -- thank you for sharing it all with us and allowing us to join our faith with yours. He is still in our prayers!
I love that tears of sadness have turned to tears of complete joy!! Thank you so much for continuing to share your experience with us! You not only saved your son's life, but most definitely have saved many lives by sharing your story!!
It's amazing to see Bronson smiling and standing with help. He looks like he is doing amazingly well. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that little smile, he is doing so well! I am so happy for you. Still praying for you in Washington.
Definitely a miracle! We can't imagine the joy you must be feeling. Thankful prayers we will now be sending. love, The Jackmans
My heart is happy for you all the way from Montana! He is in my prayers, as is your family, and you! No one is perfect by any means, I hope you remember this. From one Momma to another we do the best we can, and I hope you know you have a friend here.
Jess
What a great smile! What a miracle! We'll keep sending love and prayers.
I am so happy to see little Bronson so alert! What a miracle! You said it perfectly in an earlier post, "pure joy!" I hope he continues to recover completely & can soon go home!
Much love!
Words just cannot express how happy I am for your family!
This is nothing short of a miracle. What a sweet little face. Hopefully now you can all relax a bit and enjoy your boy!
Amazing!!! I have been praying so much for you guys! That smile sure did light up my day!
Bobble heads are the best--and yours is the cutest!
A true Miracle! I am so happy for your family. God is so miraculous!! What an AWESOME GOD we have.
Love to your family,
A friend in prayer in Southern California
This morning Landen came into my room & asked me how Bronson was doing today. So tender! The best part was getting to show him Bronson's little videos. Even Crew loved watching them. Thanks for sharing with us. We love you guys!
You don't know me, I heard your story from a friends blog. This is truly a miracle. You have made me more aware. I have a little boy not much older then Bronson. I don't know if you have heard the song by Mark Schultz- He's my son. I think Hevenly Father heard you. Thanks you for sharing with us.
There is nothing that warms my heart as much as a child's smile. I am so glad Bronson can smile again!! I will continue praying for his health.- From Minnesota
Hip Hip Hooray! He is beaming as I am sure you are as well. Thanks for posting such intimate videos of the whole family bonding!
XOXO~The Kallas Family
P.S. Are the Dr.'s so thrilled with his progress? Where do you go from here?
I am so happy for your family! I am crying tears of joy! Prayers everywhere have been answered for your little boy.
This is so awesome!!!! Thrilled for you all! God bless!
Michelle
What a miracle! He is just as cute as can be! Is he eating on his own? Is he talking? Do the doctors have any idea how this has affected him? Oh so many questions, but oh so happy that he is ok!
I came across your blog just by chance, and am so touched. Thank you for sharing your experience....What a wonderful mother you are!I am glad to see him sitting, smiling, HAPPY! What a blessing!
Just a miracle watching him interacting, playing, smiling. You must all be overjoyed.
I have followed your story so closley. I can't pass my computer without checking your Blog for updates. I am a mother of a 2 yr old and 1 yr old. Your story hit so close to home...I have done the same thing many times, and too have been distracted. This could just as easily have been MY story. I can't thank you enough for sharing this with the world (your story has traveled world wide) I am so happy that Bronson is doing well. I am now a believer. GOD bless you and your family!
Obrero, Sweden
A miracle no doubt. And it has strengthened my faith. Thanks for sharing, this story has changed me. :) I will continue to pray for Bronson and your family.
sara he is SO PERFECT!! I am so happy for your family. Those brothers are so adorable singing with him. Their lives have forever been changed as well too.
Much love to your darling little family...
Oh, thank you for posting these, Sara. My girls (ages 5 and 2) are happy to see Bronson doing so well. We're so thankful you opened your heart and life to us (and the world). We too are grateful to God for your blessing and miracle. I don't know you but I love you and your family and little Bronson like family. I can see that many people have been touched by your faith and the power of God in this story. God is over all!
He is amazing! A miracle! So happy for all of you, one blessed little boy!
I cannot express how happy and overjoyed I am for your family. We don't know each other but I've been reading your blog and praying for you and your family. I hadn't read your blog for a few days - and when I came on today tears filled my eyes as I saw your son's progress. This is truly God's miracle!! Much love and prayers to you and yours as this miracle continues to enfold! :) We're rooting for you Bronson!
THank you for lifting my faith. Your family and little boy are truly inspirational!
These videos are so great! He is doing so well and you can just see how happy he is. I love how happy your older 3 boys are too, just being around him and knowing that he is ok! I can't wait for the post that tells when you are taking him home! Yay Bronson!!!
Sara - I feel like I can breathe easily again!!! AAAAHHHH!!! I am so ridiculously happy for Bronson, for you, and for your darling family!! My son Luke was singing "Do as I'm doing..." all morning after watching your latest video. I'll always think of Bronson now, every time I hear that song. What a beautiful memory. :)
So wonderful!!!
So happy for your sweet family. Your story has touched my life and I have a continual prayer in my heart for your baby Bronson. I am so happy to see him doing so well. Thank you for strengthing my testimony by sharing your story.
Sarah
I don't even know you, but seeing pictures of his beautiful face, sitting and playing brings joy and happiness to our family. We pray evey day for him, my kids never forget! I have a much deeper appreciation for your strength as I sit in the ICU with my husband tonight, looking just like Bronson did last week. Tubes and wires everywhere! Long 4 hour emergency surgery...he's only 36, he will be here for two weeks, with no visits aloud from our 8 little ones. What a long two weeks this will be, but i find much strength when I think about you and your sweet family!
You have touched many lives through your blog. My friend and I have both been praying for your family and especially Bronson.
You did a beautiful job on the news. Here is a link to the news story if you want to see it: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=9654005
Many little lives will be safer in the bathtub because you were so willing to be open and honest. Thank you for that!
Amazing! I am so happy for your family. He looks great!!!
My heart is overflowing! I am so happy! I have been praying for your family and Bronson since I Natalie Norton mentioned you on her blog. Prayers of thanks, God is so good!
I can't help but judge you for this entire ordeal. You should be ashamed of yourself. Thank god he is alive but seriously, grow up before you decide to have a family. I hope CPS investigates you.
I found out about this the other day and just ached for you guys as I read through your posts. I came back tonight and am SO happy things are looking up. I've been praying for him!
I know there are soo many comments on here and you may not read mine, but I at least wanted to express my utter and complete joy for little Bronson's recovery and coming out of his coma. I found out about this blog from a friend last week and had many tears of sadness for what happened and kept praying he would be ok and be healed. I just read the posts and saw the videos today, wasn't able to get online the past few days, and I just cried with joy. Seeing that adorable boy's smile and seeing him standing and sitting up, my word. How completely wonderful, Heavenly Father certainly works miracles and I am so so glad Bronson is with you again today. I have a 15 month old boy and I just couldn't imagine. You are such a great mother, don't forget that. God bless you and your family and your miracle baby Bronson :).
Look at that precious boy! Alive and well. God is good and so very real. Prayers continue for you all...
I have been following your blog from my home Dalian, China. Thank you for sharing your faith and hope with us. Our family is so excited for Bronson to be home!!
as I have read this blog, and cried and now have joy in my heart for you. I can also see the change in mommy. As B comes back so do you.
Welcome back mommy and Bronson.
Oh...the videos just make me SMILE!!! He is just a cutie!!!
