Another 4 am Spontaneous Breathing Test came and went perfectly
while Matt and I slept a few hallways away.
.
This morning the doctors feel confident that he is strong enough to handle extubation!
Wahoo!
.
Bronson can not WAIT to get that tube out!
Matt can not WAIT to get that tube out!
I can not WAIT to get that tube out!
It is the golden ticket that will land him back into my arms!
.
.
I can not WAIT to hold my sweet, beautiful, strong, amazing boy!.

They've just turned down the Precedex...
As soon as he wakes up...

There is nothing better than holding your child. Do you think that is how our Heavenly Father feels too? We are praying for all of you.
I don't know you personally, but wanted to let you know we're praying for your son and family.
I'm glad you get to hold him today. What a blessing!
Praying for you and checking the blog constantly for updates...thank you for sharing your story.
I don't know you, but I came accross your blog from http://www.natalienortonphoto.com/
I am almost a mother of 2 from Utah and just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family. God is good and I know he is watching over your son. Know that even people you've never met are thinking of you because being a mom unites us all :)
So many prayers for you and Bronson...
Go Bronson Go!!!!!!!
I received the email from your Dad this morning telling about Bronson and my heart hurt until I got to the part telling of his miraculous recovery. We will add you to our prayers. My daughters, Ginger Johnson, Angela Schulthies and Lesli Groves have attended your Dad's seminars and two are certified, so your family has blessed the lives of all of our children and grandchildren. We use the Emotion Code and Body Code daily for healing. We are all so happy that Bronson is doing so well. I will check your blog each day. Sincerely, Luci Jones from Pasco,Washington.
I just found your blog through Natalie Norton and wanted to let you know....I will be praying for your sweet family and sending good vibes you way. Hang in there.
We're but strangers, but I wanted to extend positive thoughts and prayers to your baby Bronson and your family.
Yay!! Go Bronson! More prayers for little Bronson and your Family!
God is truly a God of Miracles. It is so amazing to see the way a community pulls together in love for someone who is hurting. I know for certain that you and yours have been constantly in the thoughts and hearts and prayers of many of us since we heard. And as each of God's miracles is revealed we are all crying tears of joy for his goodness and of relief for you and Matt and your family. Way to go Bronson! Keep the miracles coming! We're still praying for them.
I am so happy for you guys!!! Prayers are amazing! Still thinking about you and praying for more miracles...have a good day!
I just saw your blog and I have a little guy about your little boy's age and man am I glad to hear the good news. We will keep you in our prayers too!! I hope he just keeps getting better and better.
Hi, You don't know me, I hope you don't mind that I'm reading and commenting your family blog. I follow Natalie Norton's blog and she wrote about your family's tragedy and begged for prayers this morning, so I had to come read for myself. I want you to know that my little boy is just 4 months older than your sweet baby Bronson and he always takes baths with his older sister and I ALWAYS do what you just described... while they're bathing, I let myself get distracted with putting away laundry and getting their bed clothes ready for when they get out. Don't beat yourself up. If everyone's honest, we've all done that! Your story touched me so much, because it reminds me so much of myself. I, too, take my little ones in the shower with me to save time and plus, it's such sweet time. Anyway, I am praying for you and I'm praying that your baby boy returns to you perfectly healthy. You deserve nothing less. I'm going to continue following your blog and I'm going to post a prayer request for you and your family on my own blog. My whole being is hurting for you as I look at my sweet Noah. It could just as easily be me going through what you are going through. I hope you can feel the love and prayers that I know everyone is sending your way.
YAY!!! I'm so happy for your little family. I will continue to pray for you! How are your sons holding up? I feel asleep worrying about them.
Sara- I too just saw your blog... You & your family are in our prayers. Here's to miracles!
-Meredith
I am so happy that is great news!! I am so glad he is doing better. I know when that ventilator comes off its just one step closer to getting to go home! Keeping ya'll in my prayers!
Sara, This is such good news today! I have three boys (7, 5 and 22 months), and I can only imagine what you're going through right now. But I'm so encouraged to hear what wonderful progress Bronson is making! Our prayers continue to be with you.
Just read your story and am sending prayers up for Bronson's full recovery. Love and prayers from TX.
It's so wonderful to log on and read the great news, ever greater news. Prayers work, and love works, and we know the source of that love. It sounds as though hundreds and hundreds are pouring out all that they have for your little guy. Isn't that just amazing? Here's a little more love from B1.
I am so grateful that prayers of faith are being answered in such miraculous ways. Get that tube out and put that precious baby boy back in his loving mommy's arms. Go Bronson!
And GO Matt and Sara! Waking up and going through the motions every single day must be difficult, especially not knowing what each day is going to bring. Your faith, your courage, your strength to take one day at a time is inspiring.
We're hanging on your every word and we anxiously anticipate each new update. I'd tell you to hang in there and keep being strong, but you're doing that already!
-Rachelle Szymanski
heard about the need for prayers from natalie norton's blog, and wanted you to know that you have 2 people in the bahamas who are lifting up your little bronson, as well as you and your family and those doctors, all up in prayer.
be encouraged!
-mary saou
Woo-hoo!!! Please wrap him up tight in his Jane-blanket while you hold him tight, then maybe he'll feel my love around him too!!!
Go Bronson! He amazes me...as do you.
Wow, Sara look at all these prayers. Only just a few short hours ago while Bronson slept so peacefully did I last look at your blog. I was so excited this morning and will definitely check on you later. Brianna
I also found you through Natalie Norton and I just poured over your blog and got caught up on your story.
I'm hoping that all is well right now with your sweet baby Bronson. I can tell that you are such a sweet and loving mother. Your boys are lucky to have you. I will pray for more miracles for your family.
Best of luck to you and your sweet family.
Heard the news that you needed prayers from Natalie Norton's blog. It looks like they are working, so glad to see your sweet baby is improving. We will continue to keep ya'll in our prayers. Hope you get to hold precious Bronson soon. Love and Hugs from NC

Your dad, Dr. Bradley Nelson, sent a request to his Emotion Code list today for prayers for Bronson and your family. I've prayed for Heavenly Father's tender mercies to continue to expand His great love for you and your family. I'm sure that the unfolding of your blog posts will serve to validate your family's miracles for years to come. It has touched my heart!
I heard of little Bronson's story through Natalie's blog...natalienortonphoto.com. I am praying for your little guy. I am so glad he is progressing so well. I am LOVING my 3 boys a little more today.
You don't know me, but I am praying for your family today! After reading your story I am hugging my own little boys a little tighter.
I am on the other side of the country and prayers are being said on your families behalf. Miracles abound.
I, too, am a stranger and heard about this through your dad's Emotion Code list. Two years ago yesterday our son was life flighted to Primary Children's where we began a 7-week stay that ended in our letting our son return to our Heavenly Father. I see so much of what we went through in your experience, and I feel so thankful that your little Bronson is doing so well. I will pray for him and you. Even though our son was not able to recover from his seizures, I felt so much peace as we knew we had so many people praying for us. I want so much for you to be able to take your baby home with you!
I just wanted to let you know that our little family is praying for you and Bronson.

I found your story yesterday at around 2am and my eyes welled with tears as I read it. I'm a mother of four and just want to tell you that part of being a mother is making mistakes, learning from them and of course....moving on! My family is praying for your little boy and your family. Stay strong and fight! Many prayers from New York.
Sara, I don't know you or your family. I came across your blog from a link from my friends blog. I have been sitting here reading and bawling. We have now added your little boy and family to our prayers. I have a little boy that was born a couple weeks after your little guy and this breaks my heart. May god hear all the prayers for your family and help your little boy get better. Stay strong and know that people are praying for you.
so touched by your story. many prayers for your sweet baby boy.
Thanks for sharing your story. Wow. I am so excited for him. What a miracle! Prayers for your family are going your way.
So very exciting!! It will be SO nice once that tube is out :) Praying for you guys still!
Hi Sara, stopping by from Natalie Norton's blog. Just wanted you to know we're praying for your sweet little Bronson. I hope he is on the road to recovery and SOON!

Wahoo! What a great God we serve!! Praying for his healing to continue and for him to be in your arms soon!!

xoxo!!!
Just wanted to let you know that we're sending our prayers heavenward for your little Bronson!!
Hi Matt and Sara, This is Julie Nordfelt Doherty. Just heard about Bronson through Facebook and went to your blog and read and cried all morning. We are praying for you. I can't get you out of my mind. I just want you to know, Sara, that this could have happened to any of us that are Moms. We all make mistakes in our mothering, and for whatever reason, God allows things like this to happen. We have learned from personal experience that God tries those he loves! Thank you for your example of faith and your beautiful, eloquent words. You have reminded me to enjoy my children. You have reminded me that we have a God of miracles. You have already seen some. We pray for your strength and for Bronson's recovery- for many more miracles!
I don't know you and you don't know me, but apparently we live in the same town :) My heart is with you through this. I have 3 kids and have always worried about bathtime and what can happen. I am so sorry for you. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Stay strong Bronson!!
I found your blog through my friend, Natalie Norton... then I realized that I know your family (Mauri and I were in the same yoga class and our boys have done some play groups - small world). Your experience is a true wake-up call to me as a mother. Thank you for your inspiring words. Little Bronson is in my every thought and prayer. What a little fighter!
Prayers sent up that today will be amazing!!! Go Bronson!!! What a strong little man!! Hugs to your whole family!!
i also found your blog through natalie norton's blog. your story is amazing and i'm praying for continued miracles to be showered upon you and your family... god bless!
Matt & Sara,
Just wanted to send you our love and support during this trial. Bronson has become a permanent feature in our family prayers and my wife hangs on each new posting of yours. The triplets will spontaneously ask about him and mention him in their prayers throughout the day. I’m so grateful to see the outpouring of support, hope, faith and love from friends, family and total strangers.
Love,
Kurt, Elizabeth, Austin, Kate, Chase and Kai
Our family is praying for your sweet little boy, and for your heart to be healed. You are touching so many people through your experiences and faithfullness. You have forever changed my life with your sweet testimony of prayer.
Keeping my fingers crossed and praying for another great day for little Bronson...
Sara, you are amazing. I hope you know that!
Love,
Jenn
I saw your blog linked to someone else's...{isn't this blogging world a great and marvelous thing} and I wanted to say that we are all rooting for you and your sweet family!
Love and prayers from New Mexico!
Oh, to snuggle his warm little body next to you... sheer bliss! Can't wait to see pics!
I came across your blog by reading about the trial you and your family are going through from http://www.natalienortonphoto.com/.
I don't know you, but wanted you to know you are in my thoughts daily and I am praying for you and your family. I hope the Spirit is with you and that you know there are strangers that are aware of what a fighter you have for a son!
Like many other people, I heard about your battle via Natalie Norton.
My thoughts are with you and your family during this time. He sounds like a very strong boy and there are so many people wishing and praying for him...for you...and for your family.
Chin up!
I also stumbled upon your blog. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sara, I also do not know you, but Natalie (www.natalienortonphoto.com) is a friend of mine and she shared the link to your story. Just one month ago she was where you are now and I am grateful that she was lead to your story and shared it with all of us. Her army of thousands from all over the world is joining with yours in prayer at this time for your beautiful baby boy. So thrilled to hear of the progress he is making, though I know he is far from out of the woods, so we will continue to pray for more and more happy progress. Praying God will lift and carry you guys through this day, keep you healthy so you can care for your sweet baby and also that he will be there beside your other three little warriors through their struggles, to hug and hold each of them and provide comfort to you all. Our family will continue to pray for yours.

Hi Bronson I love you and hope you get better soon!
Tears Feel my eyes as I have read your story. I often try to get a head of daily work and get distracted. Your story is a reminder to me. Things can wait. My prayers are with you. Hold strong to those around you. Lets hear it for Bronson! Go Kido Go! Also thank you for the reminder of how fast things can happen with kids. (hug)
Sara,
You don't know me...yet I feel as if I know you from your beautiful blog. My prayers are with you. I pray that Heaven will rain on you precious blessing. I pray your heart will have comfort. I stopped for you...I thought of you.....I prayed for you and your family. Oh please God let this family feel comfort. Let your hands reach down to them. Let them feel your love for them.
With all my love,
Mindy
Laie, HI
Sara~ I too am a stranger to you and your family but I can connect with you in so many ways. We too, have spent time with our baby in the PICU at PCMC. What a place! What a miraculous and humble place to be. I am praying with all my might that you leave that hospital with your sweet baby in your arms. He is a trooper and Heavenly Father loves your family so much. THis I know. I pray that you feel peace and comfort from our loving Heavenly Father. Let his arms embrace you.
Many thoughts and prayers

Way to go Bronson. We're praying for another great day for Bronson. Hang in there!
All our love,

Sara, I also heard about you on Natalie Norton's blog. I first read your blog last night and as a mother of two young sons myself, my heart ached for you and your family and sweet little Bronson. When I came back to check for an update this morning, I realized something..."Wait, her name is Sara Staker, and she's a photographer..." You took my wedding pictures a little over 8 years ago in December of 2001! Amazing how this blogging world connects and reconnects us all.
I am thinking of you and your son and your family and praying that blessings will continue to be poured out upon your heads, and that Bronson will make a full recovery. It sounds like he is on his way...I am so grateful and happy to hear each piece of good news! May the Lord bless you all and give you peace through each hour and each day of this trial...you will be in my thoughts and I will be praying that each piece of news will continue to be good news!
Go Bronson!

Just wanted you to know my thoughts are with you. As well, I found your blo throuh another. Also, I have copied your wonderful playlist and labeled it Bronson's Mix:) You all seem like a wonderful family that is very grounded and loved by many.
Best wishes xoxo
Hi Sara - We've only met a few times through my twin sister, Ashley. I, too, am the mom of 4 boys, almost exactly the ages of yours. I want you to know that we pray for your family each night. My older boys pray for Bronson in their personal prayers, too, and they come home from school each day eager for good news on how he is doing. Heavenly Father is indeed watching over you and your family and little Bronson.
What a testimony that: God watches over us, God loves us, He hears/answers prayers, and that little Bronson of yours is STRONG!!!
P.S. I work with a girl that will be up there tonight and she is dropping of a little token for your baby!
Hugs sent your way-Kallas Family
Yay, Bronson! We're so excited for you to finally be able to be in your mama's anxious and comforting arms!
Sara: I'm a mom of 5 and grandma to two little boys. I am praying for your strong amazing Bronson; and for you and husband to be strengthened.
God bless.
Ann in Hawaii
You don't know me, but your story is so touching! I will keep Bronson and your family in my prayers. You are all so strong and amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Go Bronson! We are cheering for you! Loves to your mama, papa, and big brothers. Heavenly Father loves you all. We are praying for you. LOVES!
Sara,
I don't know if you remember me. I'm Marissa Shum, we were in the ward for a brief time but it's been almost 3 years now. We had our 2-year olds around the same time. Your husband was a miracle worker and came to teach my husband how to tile while we remodeled our house. Anyway, I read about your tragedy on my friend Natalie Norton's blog and my heart just broke. Please know that we are adding our prayers to the hundreds of others that your little Bronson comes out of this a happy, healthy boy!
Oh Sara I am so excited for you to be able to hold him. Oh, the feelings you will feel. How amazing. God is amazing and your little boy is such a miracle. We will keep praying for you.
I linked from Natalie Nortons blog. I can't wait for you to hold your baby again. Praying for your family and Beautiful Bronson.
I was directed to your blog from an aquaintance. I sit here at my desk with tears streaming down my face. Regardless of the outcome (which looks pretty bright) your story is amazing. It had to have taken alot of courage to write/type it all out. I want to thank you for sharing such a horrific day. It truly has touched my soul. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family, and especially little Bronson.
My prayers are with you and your sweet family. I pray for Bronson's full recovery!
Heard about you through natalienorton. We are praying and thinking of your family. My brother was a nurse for a long time at Primary's in the picu. He saw MANY miracles happen and blessings poured out even through the hardest most terrifying and even heartbreaking moments. He said there was a spirit there you cannot describe. He was always in awe watching people like you.
Sounds like things are looking up for little Bronson!! He is TOUGH! We are PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING.
It's so neat to see strangers unite in prayer for those whom we've never met and probably never will meet, but feel connected through faith and prayer. Thank you for sharing.
Tauni from Roosevelt
Praying that everything you need will be given to you and your family. God is near and listening to all of us as we pray for him!
Sara, you don't know me but I found out about your story through Natalie Nortons Blog. I have a little boy who is just a week young than your little Bronson. I pray that your little guy will return to your family in perfect health.

My heart is so full of emotion on your behalf today. I found great comfort in Natalie's Jan. 28th post about asking ourselves "Why?" and thought you might also. Please know your precious baby is loved by so many that have never even met him. May he continue to improve and once again find your loving, open arms. Much love and comfort to your family at this time!
WWAAHHOOOO!!!
Oh yes. God is good.
I cannot believe what you're going through. As I sat and read every single word of your first entry about Bronson's accident, I cried. It felt so real. I am a mom of 3, and I cannot comprehend what you are going through. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sounds like little Bronson is a fighter. He reminds me of my little guy who is 18 months. PRAYERS, PRAYERS, and MORE PRAYERS coming your way!
Love ~ Heather
I just wanted to add my prayers and thoughts to all those who have posted before. I'm so glad to hear that your little one is fighting and doing well, and I pray that you will all be strengthened!
We don't know each other as many others have stated in their comments, but I don't believe I would have cried any more tears for you and your family than if we'd have been friends. I came across your blog and cannot believe how your tragedy has impacted not only me but so many others. I think one reason is that every one of us can put ourselves in your shoes and wonder how we escaped the same circumstances unharmed. Thank you for sharing your story - I truly believe if anything good could possibly come from this, it's that you have just saved some other family from having to go through the exact same thing. Prayers for you in Kentucky.
I just found your blog. I am praying for your little one and your family. I want to tell you how grateful I am for the courage that it took to be as candid as you were with this situation. I admire you so much for that. That shows a great deal of integrity. I wish the very best for your baby and I hope that you will remember that you are a daughter of God and that he loves you. This was a mistake that any one of us mothers could make. Please do not punish yourself. Thank you for helping remind all of us what is most important. Good luck and best wishes.
Hi Sara, I'm a friend of Marianna's and I want you to know you have prayers coming all the way from Alaska. :) And I KNOW that prayers work because of the miracles I've seen lately with my Dad. You are amazing and you're going to get through this!!
Hi Sara! I am Jeans neice...We have been following your story so closely. We are so excited with you for this news. What a fighter he is! Sending our love and prayers your way. Julia and Tyler
I don't know you, but I will definitely be keeping your little guy and your family in my prayers!
Hey, Bronson ryhmes with Monson. That's gotta count for something, right?
Loving you every minute.
N
you and your sweet little family are in my prayers! your story touched my life and i will be alittle more patient and hold my little ones alittle longer! thanks for sharing and i'm praying for you all!
I can only imagine how hard it could be to post about this difficult time. My heart was aching as I read your blog, and it feels so much hope as I came to today's post. I hope that posting about this has been good therapy for you, so that you might someday forgive yourself. It has definitely reminded me to stay with my little girl when she is in the bath. Not most mothers would admit that they have left their children when in the tub, but we have all done it! What a comfort it is to see all those who are praying & thinking of you & your sweet family during this time. Our prayers are definitely with you!
Love, Heidi Greenhalgh Stilson

Sara, God is good!!!! Praise the lord. Praying for baby and family from Edmonton Alberta Canada
I love that Natalie has spread the word about Bronson so that the prayer chain can get longer and more powerful! Prayers for little Bronson from St. Louis and I know God showed me this b/c I leave my kids alone WAY TOO OFTEN in the tub. It is a bad habit and doing random chores while I have that moment of "free time" is so not worth this. God bless your family.
HOW ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
I have been thinking about your family all day! I'm so glad to read that he's making improvements! I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!
Sara,
I just wanted to say we are carrying a prayer in our hearts throughout the day for each one of you right now. The spirit that is felt throughout the neigborhood on behalf of your family is strong.--We are willing you all our strength and courage to persevere with steadfast in hope and faith. And, WAHOO is RIGHT! Rejoice in all of Heavenly Father's miracles and tender mercies. A big hug to you guys--especially Bronson!! Love, Arinn Aanderud (your somewhat new neighbor)
I don't know you but you have been on my mind all day. I read your story last night and bawled my eyes out just thinking of you and your family and what it must feel like to be going through that. You are a strong woman and Heavenly Father is looking out for your family and especially little Bronson. I'm in awe of how strong you are. I pray that if I ever have to go through something like this that I can be as strong as you. I am SO excited to hear how well he is doing. You are in my prayers!
Glad to hear the good news. I will keep your little one and your family in my prayers!! {{hugs}}
Casey and I have had you in our hearts and prayers all week, we are thrilled to hear how well Bronson is doing! What a little tuffy he is, hope the rest of your boys are hangin' in there too... hugs.
I wept as I read your story, while my own little ones are yelling, and screaming, and filling my ears and heart with joy! Our prayers are with your family! My Heavenly Father continue to bless Bronson with the strength he needs to heal COMPLETELY!
Got here from Natalie's blog (don't know her either). I just read all of your posts and starting crying at my desk at work (shh..don't tell my boss). I can't imagine the horror you guys are experiencing right now. I know the guilt must be unbearable, but please know that we have all done it. Left them in the tub to run to flip the laundry or get the phone or put something on the stove for dinner. You sound like an amazing mother and you are in my prayers.
Hoping and praying sweet Bronson is in your arms right now! Our thought and prayers continue to be with you!
Sara it's Kathy (from spin) I'm so glad Bronson is doing so well. What a little fighter you have. You're in my prayers. I cried and cried today at work while reading your story. Lots of hugs, kisses and prayers from me to you!!!
You don't know me either, but I read your blog with tears streaming & my heart aching. My 6-year-old witnessed my emotions and came over to hug and console me. He saw the picture of Bronson and said we should pray for that little guy. I agreed. We'll continue to pray for all of you.
I just heard about your story and your blog. I am deeply touched and I will pray for your beautiful little boy. Also,I wanted to tell you to be gentle with yourself. Don't blame yourself. We all have our moments of distraction. I am a mother of two and nowhere near perfect. I, just like you, have gotten distracted while my kids are bathing. My prayers will be with you that you will forgive yourself. I know that the Lord won't even need to forgive you, because there is nothing to forgive. You would've never left that room if you knew what was going to happen. Just know that you are loved. Thank you for sharing your story.
Go Little Bronson!
I will be praying for your family! Our God is the ultimate physician and Bronson is in the palm of his hands. You are a strong mother and wife. Continue to cry out to God, he is hearing you!!! There will be victory for Bronson!
I cried..actually bawled as i read your story.. wow. I cant.even.imagine. You are one STRONG women, keep staying strong for your family. Prayers are real and miracles happen. The choice is now up to Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing your story as i am POSTIVE that you have helped save another baby out there.. as we all know we do the exact same thing with our little ones in the tub. I will be so much more careful..so thank you! We are praying for little Bronson and also for your darling family!! Hang in there!
I just got happy tears.. I'll continue to pray for your sweet family. God bless you!
Sara..happy tears for you today. Biggest hugs ever for Bronson the Brave. We are in awe of all of you.
hugs, kisses, and prayers...

My heart goes out to you. I have been in your shoes. I was a good, caring, concientious young mother. It happened 27 years ago (during the spring flooding of 1983) I was distracted while my two youngest children were in the bath tub. My distraction was throwing a load of laundry in the washer. It was an exceptionally busy day - with end of year school activities for our three oldest children, helping a neighbor out, getting dinner ready and pressuring myself to accomplish a list of household chores. As I pulled my baby from the bath tub, an older son called 911 while I did what I could. I did not know CPR, but was able to restore breathing with mouth to mouth. My baby however was still unconscious. Then because of seizures, my sweet 10 month old was air-flighted to Primary Children's. He was able to have a Priesthood blessing before the flight. Our pediatrician made it to Primary Children's shortly after we did. He and a hospital nurse gave me caring, nonjudgmental hugs. We were told it would be touch-and-go that night. He may or may not make it. Our son fought hard. He still had much to do on this earth. We were very blessed that his stay in the hospital was only three days. What a blessing to have the knowledge and expertise of those doctors. Our son is now 28. He obtained an Eagle Scout award, was a finalist in the Sterling Scholar program, served an LDS mission and graduated from the University of Utah. He has a beautiful wife and they are looking forward to children blessing their home. Our prayers are with your family, and for your son's full recovery and a wonderful life. I still remember my relief and happiness when I was able to hold and cuddle my baby again! I certainly learned NOT to point fingers at others!
