WE HAVE A MIRACLE HAPPENING HERE IN ROOM 2314!
I want to shout it from the rooftops!
My fingers can barely type,
I am shaking...
BRONSON IS AWAKE!
HE IS HERE!
HE IS LOOKING AT ME!
HE IS TRACKING THE TEDDY BEAR WITH HIS EYES!
HE SMILES AT ME WHEN I TICKLE AND PLAY WITH HIM!
HE SMILES AT ME WHEN I TICKLE AND PLAY WITH HIM!
HE REACHES FOR THINGS WITH REASON!
HE RESPONDS TO OUR COMMANDS!
WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS...
HE IS IN THERE AFTER ALL!
LIGHTS ON!
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE MY BOY!
JUST LIKE OUR BOY!
.
Just a few minutes ago I came into his room.
I crashed hard-core last night.
Could NOT keep my eyes open any longer.
Slept too late this morning.
Can't remember the last time I slept that long.
I walked in his Room about 9:45 in the middle of an Occupational Therapy session.
They tried to get him to sit yesterday. It did not go well.
Today, they thought they'd try lowering the Precedex.
That darn Precedex...
About half an hour after they turned off the sedation,
he began tracking between the Occupational Therapist and his Nurse, Heidi.
They were shocked.
They tried to call me but there is no cell phone coverage in the parent sleep cells.
Then I slept through the overhead page.
Man, were they excited to show me when I walked in the room!
It was that Precedex.
I KNEW it!
It was the only thing I could think of as we'd poured over his chart looking for an explanantion.
Apparently even the uber-low dose they had him on was too much for his virgin blood.
(He's like his Mama... Just a couple tylenol will knock me out...)
The Nurse Practitioner showed me a text on his pager from our Nurse Heidi, that said
"Bronson is awake and surprisingly alert. Tracking. Sitting. There is no reason this kid needs to be intubated. You must come see! "
All the hospital staff and nurses who love him have been in to see already.
They are thrilled!
We called Daddy.
He wept.
He is driving as fast as he can to get here safely.
He told me of the prayers and scriptures he and our big boys had read together last night.
The tender prayers and the first fast of Bronson's sweet brothers have done this.
The faith of his Daddy has brought this to pass.
The prayers and faith of all of you, collectively petitioning Heaven on his behalf.
The will of God has been shown...
To use our tiny sweet strong and incredible boy
as an instrument in His hands.
To unite strangers and loved ones in faith.
To bear testimony of His love and His power.
We thank you for your prayers.
We thank you for the power of your fast.
We thank you for your faith and sustaining love and support from across the globe.
God IS a God of miracles.
Let us never never forget!
Let us never be afraid to share our testimonies boldly.
Let us never be afraid to share our testimonies boldly.
Unabashed.
I have a million things to share, but will keep this short, so I can go and be with my boy.
He is back!
Oh thank Heaven he is back!

THANKS TO GOD!!
WHAT A MIRACLE! I'm so happy for your family! It's a great day for blessings and miracles!
I am a complete stranger that has been following your story. I have been praying for God to show us his good work. Praise the Lord!
God is Good all of the time and all of the time God is Good! Please post pictures of him awake.
YEAH!!! I just happened upon your blog from another blog. I have been in tears for your family....now tears of joy!!!
Words cannot express the joy I have for you and your family right now. God is good!!
Wonderful, wonderful news! So happy for you and your sweet little boy!!!
Oh Sara I am so happy! I am crying tears of joy for you right now. I continue to pray for him. I have a prayer in my heart all day long for him and for you guys to find peace. YAY!
Tears of joy for you and your sweet boy!! You are never far from my thought and prayers!
I am filled to the brim. Best news ever. It is going to be a great day! We love you, we love Bronson, and we'll keep on praying until he is home, safe and sound. What a little fighter!
SO happy for your family! You have been in my prayers night and day! Heres to Bronson! YAY!
I have followed your story from the start. I am a stranger to you. I am a mom of a 17 month old and can't imagine what you have been through. I have been praying the hardest I have ever prayed and I wake up in the morning and one of the first things I do is jump on my computer to your blog to see if God listen to my prayers. I sit and cry at my computer reading the updates. I am so so so happy for you and your little Bronson today. I will continue to pray and think of you daily. Sarah ( Puyallup Wa)
Prayers have been answered in Park City!! I just want to shout from the mountain tops with you!!! When I read this post I couldn't stop crying. Just had two little babies and reading your blog has made me a better mother. Prayed for Bronson last night again and woke up to this. WOW, so blessed!! So happy for your family!!
I kept thinking the same thing! I asked Peggy all the time is he still drugged up? Because I know I would be so out of it with just a small dose of anything too. I am soooo surprised that the doctors did not bring him out of it sooner. Peggy said they were trying to keep him calm. He looked so strong and healthy yesterday also. IT was hard to believe he would not recover to the place he is today.. Yippee Yahoo!!!
Best News ever!!!!
I felt so much better seeing him and thank you so much for letting us come by.
Bring that Boy home!!!
That is powerful stuff happening out there. My family has prayed for yours from a distance. Awesome to see the latest on your boy.
It is a true testament of faith and prayers. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
May God continue to watch over your sweet Bronson and the rest of your family.
Continue to believe!!
I am weaping... Bronson.. DEAR BRONSON! I am so glad you are back!! AMEN, Sara.. Amen. <3 <3 <3
You do not know me but my aunt Rachel Payne told all of our family to pray for you and your family. We have all been doing so. Not long ago our family has forgone such a tragedy as well and could not have gotten through it without the prayers and thoughts of so many others. I do not know you or your family but I do know God, and I know he is watching over you. I just hope you know that there are so many people who you do not know that are praying and fasting in your behalf! Good luck! God is always watching and listening!
Sincerely,
Rachel's Niece!
That is AMAZING news!!!! Prayers do work! And I am so happy for your family!

I'm soooooo happy for you! I was reading today's update and my husband walked in and wondered why I was crying! It's such a testimony of the power of prayer, fasting and priesthood blessings. Bronson will enjoy reading your wonderful blog someday and will know how many people love him and were praying for him.
You don't know me or my family but we are of the same faith. (LDS). I was directed to your blog a few days ago and I have been praying for your little boy so much! I check your blog several times a day, hoping for the update that you posted today! I'm so grateful that he is back! What a wonderful feeling. I have three little boys myself and I have been giving them extra hugs and kisses, thinking of your little one.
Another stranger...just wanted to say this is beyond wonderful news. Thank you for updating and I'm so happy that your little boy is doing well.

You do not know me but I am have been following your story for the past few days. It has really touched me since my son is right around the same age, and for one night he was in the same NICU unit as your son. The Lord must have some special purpose for your son. I am so happy that today is going so well for you and your family. I will keep praying that it continues.

We love you...
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news with all of us.We have been praying for Bronson all week.I am so happy to hear that he is doing so well!

I am not sure how I came across your blog, but I did. I must tell you that I have not prayed in a long time. (really prayed) I did the whole "Now I lay me down..." and usually was asleep before I finished. I read your blog last night, and when I went to bed I prayed. I really prayed, and I feel like I remember waking in the night and my soul was STILL praying. Thoughts of Bronson have not left me and I prayed all the way to work. I just saw your post! I have been a little lost from God, and you and your story touched me and has brought me back. Thank you for sharing and YAY BRONSON!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful, wonderful news! I am another stranger who has been following your blog from Missouri and have been praying for your sweet Bronson. Thrilled for you and your family!
I am another complete stranger who is weeping for you and your family. What a miracle! Heavenly Father is so wonderful.
Sara,
I am so happy righ now! I'm not sure if you remember me (I am a friend of Mindy) but you and your family have been in my prayers and the prayers of my family, friends and co-workers. We are all so excited and grateful that Bronson is doing well! How wonderful it is to witness the power that the Priesthood has to heal the sick. I am so grateful that Matt is a worthy Priesthood holder and has the power to act in Gods name for your family in this time of need. Thank you for Matt and yours amazing testimonies, faith and strength through this trial. You have in turn strenghtened my faith and testimony.
Love you guys!

Grandpa and the rest of us over here in the FHL can't control our tears. Our God is a god of miracles. Thanks for letting us know as it unfolded.
Sara - You and your family have been in my thoughts all week. Ever since my sister called and told me the news, I've thought of little else. I don't ever pray, but I have been praying for little Bronson.
It's been cloudy and rainy here all morning, but the sun broke thru the clouds for a few minutes and caught my attention. I wondered, could this be a sign of good news? Maybe a coincidence, but I came to the computer and saw your post. I cannot express how relieved I am to hear this wonderful news! Evidence that miracles DO happen, and Heavenly Father has heard and answered the many many prayers offered on Bronson's behalf.
Much love to you all,
Beth Norton
I have been following your story for a few days, I saw it on Facebook. I have been praying for you and your family and am so happy to read about your MIRACLE! What a blessing!!
I have tears of joy for you. Reading this post has made my day. I think of sweet Bronson constantly and have been praying for his miracle. God is good!!!!
Give him lots of extra hugs and kisses from all of us who have been praying for him and cheering him on!

Miracles Happen. Everyday. We are surrounded by them. I just knew Bronson was one. Oh what an amazing BOY. Oh what an amazing MOMMY. Oh what an amazing FAMILY. Oh what an amazing MIRACLE!
There is miraculous power in FAITH and PRAYER.
Oh what JOY!
Diane Feinauer
Oh Sara! This is the best news yet. I too thought the meds had to be keeping him so out of it. When I saw him yesterday I was overcome with peace. Since then I have known that he was going to be okay. He is such a little fighter. I love you & your sweet family. I can't wait for the big Welcome Home Celebration!!!
I am so happy and grateful for this awesome news! Our Heavenly Father is watching out for your sweet family and it is just amazing to see His miracles unfold!
Huzzah! Hooray! Hallelujah! Welcome back, Bronson! Waiting to see a pic of your smiling face without that intubation tube!
A couple days ago I was reading through some of your old posts, remembering your "Bun in the Oven" post. I was overcome by the Spirit when I read your words about being pregnant with Bronson, "You cannot convince me that it is not our own little miracle... there is just no other explanation..." Indeed, Bronson is the Miracle Man! Love you all!
What wonderful news! A friend of mine pointed me towards your heartfelt blog last night, and you and your family have been on my mind ever since. May the miracle you are continuing to witness be never-ending... Blessings and happiness and continued healing to you all.
Oh Praise God!!!
I just came to your blog last night and wept bitterly as I have read about Bronson's accident and your updates on his condition.
THANK GOD for his healing power!
Congratulations! I know you are thrilled to have your boy back!
I will continue to pray for you and your precious family!
My coworkers and I have been following your story and you've been in all of our thoughts and prayers. We are so glad that your boy is back! We hope you get to take him home soon! What a true miracle!
What a beautiful miracle and blessing for your family. My mom called me in tears to tell me that great news! My mom is following in Florida and I am in California. Thank you for sharing your story, your faith, and your love with all of us!
I, like so many others, am a stranger to you. I found your blog through another and have not stopped thinking of you and your family and that amazing little boy!

I have been eagerly following your story and praying for your sweet boy and family. He has indeed united all who have read his story in the power of faith. Our God is indeed a God of miracles. May the Spirit continue to wrap his loving arms around you and your little one.
I am so, so happy for you and your family. I too am a stranger who came across your blog from another blog. I have been praying for your family every day, every night, and check your blog multiple times a day hoping to see this update. I am so glad to hear his progress.

Tears in my eyes. Tears of happiness for you, baby B and your family. I can't describe the joy my heart is filled with! ! Your family's faith, humbleness is a great example for me and I will continue to pray for all of you and thank God for "sending " b back to you. ( I know he was never gone but I'm sure it felt like it ).
I don't even know you and I'm crying for you! It hit close to home since I have 4 girls, one that age. So easily things can distract us...and NOW! Thank goodness for your faith, I'm so happy for you!
I just learned of your story yesterday but have been refreshing your page over and over waiting for an update. I was so happy to see you had posted.

My name is Megan and I came across your blog the other night..I was thrilled to hear of this good news! We have been praying for your family, and continue to pray that things will continue to get better!
Sara and Matt,
The Queen Vee and I are friends with Sue Richardson. We have been following your blog and praying for Bronson and your family since we learned of this tragedy.
As a cancer patient of two years ago, I can testify to the power of prayer on my behalf. And now God's hand has been shown once again.
As my family says, "We don't just believe in miracles; we RELY on them."
Prayers continue.
Another total stranger, SO HAPPY for you! Praise God!
so grateful to you as a mother and to you a mother... cannot comprehend how hard this must have been for you. what an amazing outcome.

That is great news! The strength of your family is amazing.
I just found your blog last night and couldn't stop reading. I did not sleep well at all. I dreamed about your little son all night. I have 4 children, and have left them in the tub to run and do something "really quick", the same as you. I wanted to let you know this has changed me. Never again will I leave their side. I was overjoyed this morning to read of his progress and return to normal! God bless all of you! (oh and I think the faith of his momma had something to do with his recovery as well!)
total blog stalker!
I am sooo very happy that your prayers have been answered. I will keep Bronson and your family in my prayers for a continued blessed recovery.
God is a God of Miracles! Thank you for sharing your story with such honesty... My husband and I both have had those moments where we walk away! I have hugged my children more since reading your blog. I have been praying for your little family and am so happy for your little miracle! I am a better mother because of your courage! God Bless you and your little guy!
