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!

The world rejoices with the Angels in heaven at the miracle happening in your life.
Thank you for taking the time to share the joy with us.
Enjoy your little miracle baby!
<3 Jennifer
I am a stranger to your family, but saw your story on a friend's blog. I sobbed as I read what happened that day knowing I have done the same thing. I want you to know how happy I am for you that your baby is doing well. I will pray for your family and most of all for your little Bronson. Thank you for strengthening my testimony in the preisthood and reminding to let the little things wait and for me to be more attentive to my babies. What an amazing example of faith you and your husband are.
Hooray Hooray Hooray!!! SOOOO Glad to hear the happy happy news!! I'm so glad to hear you guys are receiving the miracles you've hoped and prayed for. This is what I wished and prayed for more than anything for my sweet friend Natalie last month. Though God had another plan in store for sweet baby Gavin. God is good though. I have no doubt about that! But oh the joy it brings to hear the happy news for your sweet adorable family. Praying for continued strength for you and your family and that sweet Bronson will continue to heal perfectly. Praying for both your sweet family and the sweet Norton family too.
I am so humbled by the power of prayer. What a miracle. When you get home you'll be able to hold that special little boy while embracing your others also, what joy that will be. We lost our son last year and I couldn't bear for you to go through that same heart wrenching pain. I thank our Heavenly Father for all he's done for your sweet little family.
Love,
Julie

Oh that is WONDERFUL news!!!!!!
SARAH!!!
My insides are BURSTING with JOY!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
(if there were a way to type that in bigger font, I would have!) ;)
Love to you and your family!!!
Kris
I, like so many others, am a total stranger to you. My friend Brienne S. asked everyone to pray for you on her FB page. Upon reading your story, I can't stop thinking and praying for your family. I have a two year old and a newborn. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am so full of joy for Bronson and your family. I will continue praying for a full recovery. God is good!
Oh, what miracles. I just cry every time I come to your blog. We have all been praying for you from our house. I know we don't know you, but we are still praying. We have just been touched so much. (And then last night I found out that my cousin Krystel . . .well, I guess cousin in law . . .is your cousin. It has hit even harder.) We are praying for you. Sending lots of love in your direction too.
Praise God for His infinite wisdom and goodness! What a miracle baby you have there!!! Our youngest is almost 3 and every minute I spend with him I have been thinking of Bronson, offering up silent prayers, hoping, willing him across the miles to get better!
I see you have 400 messages posted here already - ecstatic people across the globe sharing your joy!
I doubt you could wade through all the wishes right now - but one day you will sit down and cry with joy reading them all!
God bless Bronson!
I'm crying for joy. So glad. Prayers of thanks. I'm so thankful for your little one, for the faith you and your family have shown.
Much Love,
Lyndsie Miles
What a blessing! I am so glad to hear this news - what a wonderful miracle.
We're continuing to pray that he continues to recover and that you can ALL heal as a family.
YAY, Bronson!!!!
Last night I read 2Nephi 27:23
"For behold, I am God, and I am a God of miracles, and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith."
Your baby has had the faith of the world and sure enough God has given us a miracle!
I read your story last night and couldn'g go to sleep. I prayed for you and Bronson and your family. I live in Idaho Falls, and have a daughter in Provo. We spent many house last year at Hunstman cancer center, just up from Primaary Children's. That is a hard drive up that hill. So happy for you today. So many prayers for your little guy.
YAY!!! I'm so glad to hear the good news. Your family will be in my prayers=)
Stakers,
Thank you for letting all of us tag along! Wow, amazing story, amazing strength, and amazing testimony of faith, prayer, and the preisthood. Beautiful!
love, Kristin at Pro Look
Tears of joy in Virginia for brave and strong Bronson and brave and strong parents. Thank you Heavenly Father for letting us take part in this miracle.
I am so happy for you guys. I wouldn't even know you if I passed you on the street, but I have said many prayers in your behalf. God is a merciful God and we are so thankful and grateful that He is. You have been blessed and so has your little man.
I am a total stranger been sent to your story through some rough patches and I wanted to tell you that I am so happy for you and for your family. I heard of your plight yesterday, went home from work sat with my boys and hubby around the kitchen table and talked about your baby. We all prayed for him and sent links to others to pray for him too. I am so happy for you and your family and once again, SCREAM FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS, The LORD is a loving and caring Lord. He provides for us and blesses those weak. God Bless you and your family. Alleluia!
My eyes are filled with tears... tears of pure joy! I have been praying and fasting for little Bronson ever since I found out about him. Isn't it beautiful that he waited until he had the fasting and prayers of his brothers? What a testimony builder for each member of your family, and each one of us who has been touched by this sweet story.
I will continue to pray that you will be able to leave the hospital soon, with your sweet boy in tow.
Yahoo!! how exciting! I am a friend of Lynettes. This is so wonderful I am so happy for you and your family and espeically Bronson. Wow and look over 400+ conmments. what an amazing testimony you have shared with others. Thanks so much for sharing this story with all of us. It is a great reminder to hold tight to those we love and to know that God is a God of miracles and that he hears our prayers. Wonderful!

I want you to know that Bronson's name fell off my lips many times as I fasted for him this Sunday.
You are in my prayers. Continually.
Mothers needs other mothers. We understand.

Tears of joy are being shed right now as I read this post. I was so excited to share this with my kids when they came home from school to let them know that their prayers were answered and that fasting with faith works. Bronson is such a strong boy and he has forever changed our lives. I am confident that everyone that has heard this story has forever been changed. Thank you for sharing your sorrow, faith, testimony, and joys with us. We have truly been changed for the better. THANK YOU!
Bronson is a miracle, and GOD is miraculous! Congratulations to you and your family.
That is amazing! I am so happy for your family. Enjoy your time with him.
I am BAWLING tears of joy for you!! My parents (Dave and Barb Kaiser) used to be in your ward. I have been following your story on pins and needles over the last week and a half. I could not be happier right now!!!
I am another stranger (but maybe we should call each other friends who just haven't met yet...funny how reading your blog, I feel as if I know you and your family!), and I have tears of joy for your sweet boy and for all of you! The Lord is good, and I am THRILLED with little Bronson's progress! Your post made my day! I am so happy to serve a God who answers prayer! Enjoy that sweet baby and please give him a snuggle for all of us :)
That's the best way in the whole world to wake up.......(I'm in Australia so it's only 7am here)
Been following little Bronsons progrees for over a week and I'm so thrilled I'm shaking.
Yay for Bronson, clever little man he is........
I am so happy for you and your family! We'll keep the prayers coming.
Mircles never cease. Faith is amazing and what a testimony builder. Crying tears of joy for you and a renewed faith for me.
Welcome back Bronson
Way to go Bronson! You are one special little boy with a very important mission! YOu have changed lives!
Yay Bronson! This boy is a MIRACLE!!! I have been away from internet access all day and just finally got to check in. I am SO SO relieved, and tears of gratitude are pouring! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Prayers of a second cousin (my mom's a Nelson) were answered! I'm so happy for you. My heart has ached for you during this entire journey. Hooray for Bronson!
My tears are streaming for you and your sweet family. I'm so happy for all of you.
I have had the most horrible day...until now! And now, it is one of the best days! I have been following your story (due to Jen Pickle Culley) and my heart and soul and prayers have been with you and your cute family!
We had our seven month old fall into a bathtub and also spent time up at Primary's. And we have been re-living that experience through you! I'm so sorry that you've had to go through this. But now we know...MIRACLES CERTAINLY DO HAPPEN! We are so happy for you guys, and thrilled for little Bronson...what a trooper!
Your writing is beautiful, your testimony is unreal. I hope you will keep blogging for all of us to see your progress. We love you.
Sincerely,
Liz Mackay

Matt & Sara--I as well am a total stranger that has never met you or your family but we are Sisters in Christ. I found Bronson's story while I was checking Coles Foundation. I have a 3yr old son and from the start, your son has snatched my heart. I came to tears when I read your latest update! I cannot express how excited I am for you all!

So wonderful to hear! God is SOOOO Good!
Soooo happy for you guys!
We are crying tears of joy for Bronson and your family and offering prayers of gratitude for this miracle!
I read your blog today on my iPhone as I sat in the playroom with my 2 year old. I was listening to an old Garth Brooks CD and "On a Prayer" had just started. I could hardly believe the words I was reading and how that song really drove your message home with me. Your words cut right to the heart of me and the joy in my heart caused my eyes to overflow with tears (I have cried many tears following your blog, but these were by far the most powerful). Charlie, my little man, thought I was sad and did his very best to be as silly as possible to cheer me up. I thought to myself that he must be so like your boys and your story touched me even deeper. My joy was so pronounced that I even saw the miracle in my child's empathy. Your testimony has brought out the best in so many of us. I will continue to pray for you and my children and husband know Bronson's name very well from our prayers.
Here are the lyrics for the song "On a Prayer" by Garth Brooks(cut and pasted from the internet):
_________________
There's a ship out on the ocean,
At the mercy of the sea.
It's been tossed about, lost and broken
Wondering aimlessly.
And God somehow you know that ship is me.
Cause there's a lighthouse in the harbor
Shining faithfully.
Pouring it's light out across the water
For this sinking soul to see
That someone out there still believes in me.
Chorus:
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on, on.
Raining down, against the wind,
I'm reaching out till we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again.
There's a moment that we all come to
In our own time, and our own space where all that we've done we can undo
If our heart's in the right place
(repeat chorus)
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me.
Unfolding like a mystery
You're changing all that is and use to be
(repeat chorus)
When you come back to me,
Again.

Thanks be to God that he is back with you again.
Once Bronson is fully recovered, you should consider an additional career in writing. God has give you a special talent with words.

Truly a miracle!! I am crying happy tears for you. What a great blessing. You are very lucky to have your little guy back! I hope he continues to heal and returns to himself and before you know it is running around the house making you crazy! Lots of hugs from right here in UT.
Even though I am the 451st commenter, I had to share my HELLELUJAH! along with the rest of all these well wishers. I am so, so, so HAPPY for you and your family! I wept tears of joy! And I will continue to pray for you and your family!
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!
THOUSANDS of people fasted and prayed for your baby boy. Thousands of people the world over! People in my neighborhood who don't know you have been talking about Bronson. My daughters pray for him every night before bed. I pray for him every time I think about him.
He has been the most prayed-for baby in the world these past few days!
I hope the healing continues to progress in leaps and bounds. Bless you Sara for sharing your soul with us.
I don't know you. I have never met your son. And yet, for the past week, I have been thinking about both of you constantly, my heart aching.
I can't tell you the joy I felt when I read today's post. What a beautiful miracle! You are Bronson's one and only Mommy, but for the past week, he has been all of ours. I can't tell you how many moms have been pulling for little Bronson. Thank you for sharing your story so that other moms can learn from it and remember what is truly important in life.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, yay, yay!!! That is wonderful news...I am so happy for you guys and for your sweet, sweet, sweet...strong boy!!! Thank you for sharing your miracle with us. XOXO!

I am so, so happy for you! Sara, I am constantly thinking of you, of Bronson, of your boys, of Matt...I check your blog regularly throughout the day and find myself offering up silent prayers on Bronson's behalf...I've found myself hugging my kids a bit tighter this week...trying to focus on what matters most. Because of you. Because of that beautiful boy of yours. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your experience with all of us. Your testimony has strengthened mine!
I am so, so happy for you and your family!
Ever since I first read your blog I have been praying for Bronson and your family non stop. I was so excited when I read your post today! We truly need to give thanks to Heavenly Father for this wonderful blessing! Hooray!

I don't know you guys but prayed also. Congratulations
My heart is so happy for you and your family. I don't know you, but I am a member of the church and I found your blog through a couple other ones. When I was 2 years old I drowned in my parents spa. My prognosis, I believe, was worse than baby Bronson's. I was in a comma for a week and my parents were told that if I lived I would be a vegetable. I am now the mom of three small boys and I am a miracle. I have been praying every day on the hour that you will have the same miracle for baby Bronson.
Praise God! God is so good.
Amazing story. I am thrilled for your family. I was so happy when I saw today's post.
so so SOOOOO happy to hear this!
Keep the good news coming!!!
Sara,
We are so happy for you and your family. I read this post to my hubby and we just cried together. What an amazing experience for all of us.
I am a better mom because of this experience! I'm so happy for B!!!
I am so happy. Bronson has been on my mind ever since I found out about the accident. He's constantly been in my thoughts and prayers and fast.
Love from Charlottesville, Virginia.
Another stranger here. I, too, fasted for Bronson this past Sunday and am so thankful that our prayers have been answered. Your writing is beautiful. I think we all feel like we know you. Thank you for your honesty and for bravely letting us experience this with you. I admire and appreciate your faith and your example. I'm certain you have saved lives and strengthened testimonies. We are so happy for you!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Miracles happen and little Bronson is one of them. Heavenly Father also answered our family prayers for your little boy. :) My sister was in a very bad car accident 10 yrs ago and she had a very bad brain injury and the doctors said she would not live and if she did she would be a vegetable for the rest of her life, now she is married and has her second baby on the way. I sure believe in miracles!
GOD IS AWESOME!!!!!
I am one of the many people you do not know. I have been reading your blog for a week or so.
I don't know how to properly put in words my grattitude toward you for being so open and honest. You have truly touched my heart and your little guy has been on my mind and in my prayers.
I really have needed a reminder that modern day miracles can and do occur. Thank you for sharing everything with us complete strangers. My heart has been forever changed.
Tears of joy for your miracle. Our family has been following your story, and just so happy for you! A true reminder of how precious life is, and can change so quickly. Thank you for such honesty and heartfelt feelings. You write beautifully. So happy for your family. Love the tunes on your blog!
All the way from Massachusetts...
Another stranger here that has been praying, and weeping for your sweet boy!
What great news to see today! Thank god for the miracles he brings!
Keep fighting Bronson, keep fighting! May the lord continue to watch over all of you, giving you strength and healing blessings.
You don't know me however I've been following your posts since my friend on facebook posted your story. I've been praying for your family morning, noon and night. What a great day today is!! God is good!! =)
What WONDERFUL news!!!! You don't know me either...I found your blog from Natalie Nortons blog last week and have been praying for your sweet Bronson and your entire family. I check your blog several times a day to see if there are any updates on him and was SO happy to hear this amazing news! I am so impressed by you & your family! Thank you for sharing your story with the world! Still praying for you guys! :)

I am so happy for you and your family!! I have been checking your blog non-stop for the past week now and every day I cry because my heart has hurt so terribly for you. Today, I cry tears of joy and happiness for your family and the amazing Mr. Bronson :) What an incredible miracle and true testiment of the power of prayer and our God!!
I am SO SO SO glad for you all!! I am also a stranger.. But I have followed your blog, with many others, since that first hard day. When we finished Family Home Evening last night we told our kids about your family and asked them to keep you in their Prayers. I know this is still so hard, But Boy, Father in Heaven sure gave you a wonderful reason to have JOY today! Lots of love and warm wishes to you (your Family) and all of the heavenly angels who are there with you!
I know you don't know me but I was praying hard last night, petitioning heavenly father to help you and your dear son. I come to check my email tonight and thought I might check your blog...I cried for joy! I am so grateful for this wonderful blessing, as a mom I have felt so connected to your story. Congratulations again, God IS a God of miracles and he DOES answers prayers!

We are so thrilled for you. Miracles do happen!

I'm so glad your boy is back! My mom is in your ward and I heard about this. Our family has been praying and fasting for you. I work at the Ronald McDonald House in downtown SLC. It might be a good option for you right now--a real bed to sleep in at night that's only 10 min away from the hospital. Just thought I'd let you know. Their number is 801-363-4663.
Tears of joy! I am so grateful he is ok. Your prayers have been answered. I have a disabled daughter, which is a lot of work but so rewarding. I am happy that you will have a different journey, although I wouldn't trade this journey for the world. Bless you all! Bronson and your family have been in our daily prayers! Your story has touched the world. xoxo
I'm sure there are no words that can truly describe your joy! Your little sweet boy will continue to be in my prayers!
mom of 2 sweet boys,
Nicole in Iowa
YAY YAY YAY!!!! This just made my day!
AMEN!
I'm another one of those that don't actually know your family...but I wanted to tell you just how ecstatic I am for you and your family!! Someone linked your blog on Babycenter and I've been checking back each day to get updates on your precious baby. You all will continue to be in our prayers. You sure have a little fighter on your hands! God bless you all!

Praise the Lord!! Thank you JESUS!
Overwhelmingly tearful. Tears. Full of tears. Welcome back little man! Welcome back!
This is the BEST news!! We have prayed for Bronson every day! (heard about him at spin class at the gym). We also fasted on Sunday. As we read your post tonight, I couldn't help but sit and weep! (My kids said, "Mom, keep reading don't stop. They had to read for me). Someday Bronson will know the many lives he has touched and hearts he has changed. Our hearts have been softened by his story and his influence!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
YAY BRONSON!!! I went to your blog and read your story from a facebook post a friend had posted and my heart broke for Bronson and your family. I have two little boys and I have been rooting for your little guy to wake up like it was one of my own. He is the last thing I think about and pray for at night and the first thought I have in the morning. I am overjoyed to see that smile on his face in the picture you posted...keep on fighting Bronson!
I'm so happy for you and your family. Prayers were definately pouring out all over for you guys!!
Would you please fit in one more hug for Bronson from me.......you are all amazing! I am so over the top happy for all of you! What a gorgeous, tough little man you have!
Go Bronson Go! I'm a stranger but a mom to a two year old baby boy as well. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's been moving beyond words. You are a wonderful mommy Sara! Thank you for reminding me to cherish my boy.
I have no idea who you are...Well, actually I feel like I do now, but you don't know me...I am so grateful to hear this news! I have been thinking alot about your family and praying for little Bronson. What a miracle!! Onward and Upward!!!
Also a total stranger(friend of Skip and Brook Johnson) but have been checking in on your little fam multiple times a day, and praying for you! SO HAPPY when I read this, I couldn't help but cry! Happy day!
We are so happy for you and your family. Our prayers have been with you.

I've been tracking your story since it was linked on another blog. It is truly a miracle and what a great witness to your children that faith precedes the miracle. Thank you for sharing!!!
AMEN! Praise God for Bronson's recovery!
My family and I are rejoicing at this wonderful miracle! We are all so so so happy that Bronson is back!!!
Definite tears in my eyes! I have said so many prayers these last couple of days for your little sweet boy! This is such a miracle, I couldnt wait to rush home to the computer today to see this update, and I will spend the rest of the week thanking heavenly father for bringing your sweet angel back to you!!!! My goodness, our family is so excited for you guys!!! We love you!!!
Melanie Segalla and family
Larry kept trying to call me today. I was at the gym. I finally got his phone call to check your blog. It was an absolute pleasure to read that blog today. So glad the Lord let Bronson come back. What a gift from heaven. love to all, Aunt Linda
Found your blog through Brittney (Geslison) Gordon! I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you and your family! You are an amazing mother, and that is why I believe he "came back" to you! I hope by saying "come back" doesn't offend you- I don't know how to put into words of what reading your story has brought to my life! Miracles truly happen! And I am so relieved to see that sweet babys' smiling face!!!
To the Stakerz... I also am a stranger to your little family, but your story has brought so much strength to me. I have followed your story and last night, yes last night, I also petitioned Heavenly Father for your little Bronson. I not only prayed for his health and for his mind to be strengthened and protected, but I prayed for him to help Bronson as a tool to strengthen my own faith. It truly has been such a blessing to see his little picture with a smile and a FIRM reminder to my own testimony that GOD is real, that he hears our prayers. I do not doubt that your other childrens' fasting and prayer, and you and your husband's endless faith has been in vain. It is such a sweet story to be able to share always!! Thank you, as hard as it must have been for you, thank you for sharing your story, your faith, and your testimony to so many people that needed a reminder to hug a children more and to listen when they constantly petition for our attention. You were an angel sent to me to make me a better mother and to help remind me of why we really do the things we do! Thank you and I only wish the best of health and conitnued recovery to your family and your special little Bronson!!
gotta tell ya. . . kids are taking showers since I read the original post. And I read the stoy the day before I was considerig CPR recerification. Went to the class. Cried my way though it as I watched the infant doll become Story (my ten-day-old baby girl who was revived for a very short time via mommy CPR and that was the las time we saw her alive) in the most painful flashbacks I've had. But I learned the newest CPR and I learned from this blog AND Bronson is in my prayers and tears. http://story-time-ministries.tripod.com

Thank-you for your candor and testimony. It is so inspiring to see that no matter what the situation, or the odds, real human beings can remain faithful and true. God continue bless your family!!!!!!!! I have 4 babies, the youngest just older than Bronson. I tried to put myself in your shoes and hope that I would carry myself just as you have.
I am so happy for you and your family. You don't know me, but I have followed your blog for the last couple of days, and we have prayed with you and for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your experiences and feelings and touching our lives.

You dont know me, i'm just like so many others am a complete stranger to you and your family. A Friend of mine posted a link to your blog on facebook with the caption "please read, it'll change your life" i was curious, and did as she said... and it has indeed changed my life. Your family has been on my mind, and in my thoughts and prayers for the past week. The first thing i do in the mornings and before i go to bed is check to see if you have updated. Your story is so touching, i cant tell you how many times i've cried while reading it, or smiled and cheered at the slightest bit of good news. I'm so excited for your family, and will continue to pray for them. Its stories like this that show that the church is true, and that he does indeed hear and answer our prayers! Today indeed is a day of miracles!!

Thank God for your sweet little man's recovery!!!

Congrats! So happy for you and your family!
I can't tell you how happy this post today made me, we have been praying for your family and this is a faith building experience not only for you i'm sure but for outside readers, So happy for you!
I am a total stranger however I live in your town. It's amazing how you feel so close. I am soo glad this sweet little boy is awake! He is QT! Your blog has made me bawl and bawl. I will hug my kids more an more each day. I love the way you write and the light of Christ shines through you. Prayers and HUGS
Always trust a mother's hunch! I LOVE this report! I love this miracle. I love little Bronson and his wonderful family. It's a shame we've never met.
Dear Sara and Family. My wife and I have been keeping a close eye on your baby Bronson. I want you to know that although we have never met we've prayed extensively for you.
This last sunday all of us in our family (my wife, myself and our little 9 year old boy) all fasted and prayed for your baby boy and for you and your husband and other boys.
There are many others out there who have prayed in your behalf. The power of prayer, fast, and faith is great and your boy has been a beneficiary of a great deal of prayers.
I think I can safely say thousands and thousands of prayers. OBVIOUSLY you and your immediate family have prayed--but oh, so many more who you'll probably never know about.
It appears God has listened to us. Maybe he decided he couldn't turn us ALL down.
We are so happy for Bronson's progress
Tears tears tears!!! Oh my gosh.
God is so good. I have been thinking and talking about your baby. Praying for his little heart and yours.
May Heaven continue to bless you always.
((Hugs))

I don't know you personally, but I have four children, so I know you very well. I sent prayers up for little Bronson, and I am weeping with you for joy as I am reading of his progress. I am so thrilled for your family, and Bronson is amazing. The human spirit is amazing. May God continue to keep his angels at Bronson's shoulder, holding tight to him and protecting him and healing him. Bless you.
"To use our...boy as an instrument in His hands."
That is exactly how I've felt as I've read of your journey. More than once something you have said has jumped off the page and into my life, changing it. Thank you for allowing Him to work through your sweet boy. This experience has made changes in my life as I'm sure in hundreds of others. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you. We continue to pray for you all,

I can hardly read this through the tears of JOY!!
So wonderful, such a wonderful, loving Father in Heaven!
I don't know you or your family- I received an email from a dear friend begging me to read your blog. I have been intently reading your blog for the past hour and know that what you have shared will forever change my perspective about mothering and my faith. I have a 2 year old and 4 year old and too often I am living to get things done- clean the house, respond to work related things (I work from home)- fix dinner- you know... and not often enough am I focusing on what is most important. I am praying for your baby B and am so happy for the amazing progress. Your story has forever impacted me and given me the courage to be a better person.
I am a complete stranger, I know your blog from my friend Amy! I am a good person first off, and I cannot describe how HAPPY I AM FOR YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY! I have been reading up on your blog now for a couple weeks, and you all have inspired me to no explanation! Faith is what more people need to have, your updates have proven what Faith does! Need I say anymore! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! SO HAPPY FOR YOU'S!
You don't know me, but I am sharing in your joy and the awe that we feel as we witness the power of prayer, priesthood, fasting and faith in our loving Heavenly Father. I have shed many tears for you and your family, but these are the sweetest tears yet as I celebrate the sweet miracle that your family has been blessed with. May you and your family continue to feel the strength and love of our Heavenly Father.
Your story has given me a renewed dedication and desire to be better, do better, try harder, celebrate the small things, and have faith in all things. You and your family are an inspiration to me, to thousands. Your story is everywhere. You are in my thoughts constantly. Thank you for having the courage to share with all of us. May our Heavenly Father continue to pour out His choicest blessings on you and yours.
I am Shelley Harris' sister-in-law and she forwarded me your blog. Holy Cow! I was in tears. Cause I have been there and done that. You are an inspiration to me and I thanks you for reminding me how important it is to let things go undone. It's okay. I am so happy for you. I am so grateful for your strong faith and for casting away all fear! What a great example you are to me! Our family has had your family and especially little Bronson in our prayers. We were so happy to see the news! Hang in there and know we all love you and will continue to add our prayers!!
So so happy!! That is such good news!!
Hurray, Hurray Bronson is back. Your family has been blessed with a true miracle from God. So many prayers from so many people helped too. God bless your family, now you can finally enjoy the rest of your life with your little guys.
Good luck, now it's time to celebrate!

Your story has reached Alaska! You are such an inspiration. I have a daughter just a few months older than your Bronson and I know that I wouldn't be handling this as well as you. Add my prayers to your list. I hope Bronson continues to heal. Our God is a God of miracles!
Tears streaming down our faces as we read this posting ... Thanks be to God. We are in awe of your faith and courage.
I am so happy he is doing better. He is sooo cute, what a special little guy. I will countinue to pray for him and your family.
God Bless
I am so happy he is doing better. He is sooo cute, what a special little guy. I will countinue to pray for him and your family.
God Bless
I am Amanda Peterson's mom. She has shared your story with us and sent us to your blog. MANY prayers have been answered. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. We continue to pray that Bronson may return to your home and family fully recovered ready to share his beautiful smile and spirit with all. Much love, Pam Bunderson
Bless you and your family. I am so thankful for your miracle and your how selflessly you shared this story with total strangers like myself. I hold my son tighter because of your humble, painful words. Your faith has been rewarded and I'm so glad. You should publish this remarkable story so other parents can share in your ultimate joy!
News travels fast...wow...what an impact you have had on SO MANY PEOPLE!!! I am just so greatful to be one of them!! You have such a sweet boy...I am SO GLAD you have him back...!!
yes! God is GOOD!
Love, Central Coast CA
PRAISE GOD! I have been praying for Bronson and your family. I lost my son this past July after my placenta ruptured at 28 weeks. We were blessed with 30 hours with our precious son; but loosing a child is nothing I EVER want someone to have to endure. I praise God for your miracle. Thank you for sharing your story of love and vulnerability. God's blessings to you and I will continue praying for your son and your family!!
GOD IS AMAZING!! Love to you!!
So glad for the miracle...and while I was crying tears of heartache just 15 minutes or so ago as I read the first post of this journey, I am now crying tears of joy and gratitude that our Heavenly Father is so merciful, kind and answerer of the prayers of the faithful. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Our amazing Father led me to your blog. I had a dream that my oldest son had drown and I couldn't save him last night. I awoke in fear but feeling like I needed to pray. I did, and all day I kept wondering what it meant as I often have dreams that I know are sent to me as a call to pray. My oldest son was put in the NICU after birth with 3 holes in his heart, and I spent the first week of his life in the same routine you are in. God answered our prayers and our son is doing amazing, his heart is completely healed. We are seeking healing once again for a minor issue and honestly I have been worried about it. I know God led me to pray for you but to also strengthen my faith back to those days I sat at my son's bedside and understood what true faith really was. I am so happy that you have your son back, I am blessed to have found your blog, and I am going to pray as it was divine that I was led to find it. Simply overjoyed and praising Him for your miracle. What an amazing plan God must have for your son!
PRAISE JESUS!!! I saw a prayer request for you and your family on Natalie's blog... Have been praying and thinking of your sweet boy daily. His eyes remind me of my little girls (five months) Cora has that same "watchful gaze"... How happy I was to see tonight that sweet smile on Bronson's face.. the light in his eyes, and his mommy holding him in her arms. I will continue praying for a full recovery! But WOW! God is So good... Tears of Joy... Finally... Tears of Joy. Blessings, Tricia
nice post. I would love to follow you on twitter.
You do not know me either, but I am a friend of a friend of yours and have been following your story and I just wanted to say that we are so happy for you guys and happy that Bronson is doing so wonderful! He is such a miracle to everyone!
I stumbled across your blog a couple weeks ago through a friend of a friend of a friend and I just wanted to let you know how very touched I am by your story and by sweet Bronson's miracle. I have wept while reading your posts and have felt of your love for your boys and husband. Thank you for sharing. I now hold my babies tighter and kiss them more often. I am less likely to get upset and more likely to play and laugh and tickle. Thank you, thank you! And God bless you and your beautiful family! Bronson is the cutest thing ever! :)
