«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 314 of 314Unbelievable! You don't know me, but I have been thinking and praying for little angel for days now. You have made a big impact on my life. Thank you for your words.
I am so happy that you were blessed with a miracle! I hope that you know...that there were many other miracles that came from you sharing so honestly and openly. One, a dear friend of mine, who years ago asked for our bishops phone number, so she could have her named removed from our church's records...who doesn't pray...or really have ANYTHING to do with Heavenly Father...she told me that she prayed for Bronson. She prayed for your family, and I'm sure she felt that loving feeling from our Heavenly Father as she did. So many people were changed because you. THANK YOU for sharing your story with us. I have been hugging my four girls a little longer lately:)
The woman above that made the negative comment must have got the "Mother of the Year award" and forgot to tell us that.
For ME and MY FAMILY, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! You have made a horrible experience for you, a faith building experience for all. I appreciate all you have done through these posts. You have let me have my faith strengthened and restored. I will always be thankful for my many blessings.
Thanks for letting us be a part, and at this time in our tragic world, we needed "Bronson" as our MIRACULOUS Boy!
Have a great night sleep, and thanks again for your brutal honesty and the wake up call for all mother's and father's! RUN BRONSON RUN!

YAY for Bronson!!
This is absolutely awesome and amazing. I am so happy for you and your family, and sweet little Bronson.
Wow!! what a miracle! A friend of mine had a link to your blog, so I have been checking your blog daily the past few days. I live in New York State but have been thinking and praying for your family. What a miracle! He is such a cutie!
May God continue to watch over B. and your family - you are truly blessed! Thank you for helping me to focus on my 2 little boys to make sure they get a few extra hugs and kisses every day. Be patient with yourselves, and continue to seek out your faith to help you work through the emotions.
Thank you for sharing your story! Ever since reading it I have been a little more attentive. Tonight while I was sitting on a stool reading a magazine next to the bathtub my 4 year old daughter (who had emptied half a bottle of baby soap in the tub) slipped backwards while sitting - she went right under - I pulled her up immediately she coughed for a few minutes but was fine. In my 12 years of bathing my children I have never had this happen before - I just thank God I wasn't doing many of the things I am guilty of doing before reading your story on Monday - picking up the kids rooms, collecting laundry etc. Thank you for sharing this story - Bronson is a very special little boy!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for your honesty and willingness to share your incredible story. You poured your guts out and because of you, many people will change their ways. Congratulations!
Amazing, Just Amazing..... Soooooo, Sooooo, Soooo happy for your family and baby Bronson. God is so good, look at this little guy he looks so ready to take on the whole world.......
Continued Blessings to you all.
I have cried every time I have read your blog... so glad they are happy tears now
found your blog from
Natalie Norton (Your Prayer Warrior)
Dear Psycho Amy,
The fact that you would post such jaded words on a page that allowed an innocent mommy to stay sane during this horrible ordeal make YOU the CRAZY, attention-starved individual. Really? You question why she did his hair? Without even knowing her, I can tell you why...she wanted SOMETHING to remind her of the BRONSON that SHE knew...she so desperately wanted her little boy back, she sat bedside for endless hours with her laptop...to enlist the prayers of others. Maybe it's time for all of us to turn our prayers towards you, in hopes that you get the help that YOU so desperately need.
it's a good thing you have so many people who think you are amazing. i'm sorry about your "friend" above. i think the rest of us know that there isn't a mother in her right mind that would share her most regretable and painful mistake for the sake of "being seen" i know that you would have hidden yourself away in a whole in the ground if you knew that it would keep this nightmare from happening to you and your family. i hope that "amy" has gotten it all off of her chest so that none of us have to endure that again.
i'm sorry for giving her any attention but i was having a hard time letting it go. feel free to erase this if you feel it's counterproductive i just wanted you to know that i know that she is SO way off in EVERYTHING she said.
YEAH FOR BRONSON COMING HOME!!!!
Cried myself to sleep and almost wished I didn't read your sorrow, but not before I said my prayers. I don't know you but I am so thankful that your baby is ok. I hope you can forgive yourself and know that there are many you don't know that will offer a prayer for you. I hope that you felt the comfort of a loving Heavenly Father as you went through this. AND WELL YEAH for a smiling, walking baby!
I hope you are all home - peacefully sleeping. Finally resting. Hearts filled with joy and bodies quiet.
Bless you all - always and ever! Long Island prays for you and all families in need.
YEAH!!! i am so proud of little Bronson and your whole family for that matter. So excited for you all.
Can't even begin to tell you how many times I have come to your website today...just to see Bronson WALKING, SMILING in that "UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD" shirt. How fitting....as he is definitely the champion of so many hearts over the past 2 weeks. 260,000 hits to your website..quite the little boy you have there! May he continue to steal the hearts of many! best wishes....I bet that you sleep near him tonight :-)
amazing. i've been following bronson's story and i'm so touched by the strength and faith of your family. what an amazing like guy you have. may your family continue to be blessed!
WHAT CAN I SAY..... ROCK ON BRONSON!! AND STAKERZ EXPOSED TOO! KEEP UP THE BLOG ABOUT THE WHOLE FAMILY... I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! YOU ARE SO GOOD WITH WORDS AND THE PICTURES YOU TAKE ARE REFRESHING! THANK YOU! YOU'VE CHANGED "MY" LIFE WITH THIS EXPERIENCE... REALLY!
ANGELA CASSAVAUGH, LENOIR, NC
BLESSED MOTHER OF 2 SWEET BOYS!!
He is such a beautiful litle boy. I'm so happy for you that he is home and that he is doing so well. It is truly miraculous. Heavenly Father must have a special plan for this one!
What a hunk, my heart rests easier today as a mommy of 3 boys, that he gets to stay here on earth where he belongs! A true reminder of how precious life is! That little boy will be even more loved than he was before, if possible :-)
It's pretty sad how people judge, no one asked her to read your blog. I think you need to delete Amy's comment. Your child is a miracle, and I for one have loved reading your blog. Please don't ever stop blogging...I have enjoyed all of your captions and pictures! I'm so happy for you guys and what an inspiring story. We all love Bronson!!
Sara- How amazing your appearance on the news was. I think for those moms who watched you helped us to remember. My heart goes out to you and is so excited at Bronson's recovery. I thank you as I am sitting here 20 wks pregnant with my other 2 children asleep for your courage to go on the news to remind each of us...to focus and not be distracted. As I know all to well I let the little things distract me often.
He looks great! What a fabulous smile and sparkling eyes...congratulations!!
Welcome Home Bronson!
Can I just say that this is amazing... I don't know you and you don't know me but I have been praying for you and your family for the last week. My friends blog was linked to yours because her friends was etc... And my Husband came in one night to find me staring at the computer and sobbing, as I was reading the story about Bronson. The next day I called my Mom and sisters and said you have to read this blog. I hadn't looked at it since because it was so heart breaking to me. My Mom called me so excited this morning... "Bronson was on the news, you have to go to KSL right now and read it, it is just amazing" I have been at peace all day. I have four children of my own, and I have just been aching for you and your family. I am so Happy to see a picture of Bronson walking, It is just a miracle to me, I can't get over it.
I just wanted you to know I was very touched by your story and your openiness. As a mother I needed the reminder of how quickly something could happen when I just wasn't paying attention. Especially when its not important. Thank you thank you. I will never ever forget it. I have been so affected reading your blog, your testimony and the blessings of your sweet precious child's recovery. I feel lucky to have read about his miracle and it has touched me so much. I know where your focus will be but I hope you will continue blogging. I have enjoyed your writing and your testimony as well!
He is a doll! What a handsome little guy and how wonderful to see this picture of him. He is a champion.
this picture just sucked all the wind out of me for a second! i seriously can't even believe it. and i've prayed for it! AND expected that it would happen! but to see him up and walking around like that.... yeah. i believed in God and in miracles before, but now... amazing.
Dear Sara,
I heard about your blog from a distant family member of yours. First and foremost, I want to thank you for sharing this incredible story. I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, and I want you to know that this type of incident is NOT unique to you and your family. I don't know how many families have come through my clinic and their stories have not turned out as wonderful as yours. Many children lose their lives, while others live a long life with severe physical and mental damage. So, to say the least, Bronson is a MIRACLE.
I have to respond to that horrible comment posted by Amy. First of all, yes, you can attribute Bronson's recovery to having excellent care and being in the best facility, etc., etc. However, God is the creator. He has allowed us to have incredible technology/equipment/services, etc. Nothing is a coincidence and EVERYTHING happens for a reason and it always points back to the good Lord! She points out about the care Bronson received, but does she realize that for Bronson’s one miraculous story there are tons of other children receiving the same excellent care, but unfortunately are not having the same outcome? God has a perfect plan for everyone, and how it all plays out is up to Him. Praise the Lord that Bronson is doing well:) I pray for Amy that she can see that God is so much bigger than she is making Him out to be. He is very real. Yes, terrible things do happen in this world, but there is a reason and a purpose for everything. We may not have answers, but we can have peace knowing that the Lord has a plan.
Okay, now for what I want to say to you. Thank you for being your honest, vulnerable self and sharing this story with the world. I just found out about Bronson 2 nights ago. I read through all of your blogs and cried my eyes out. I still cry when I think about it. I have a 26 month old boy, Tommy. He is the love of my life. After reading your blog, I went to his bed where he was already asleep and I snuggled him all night long (literally). I also cried and thanked the Lord for blessing me with a beautiful healthy baby boy. The reality that he’s going through the “terrible twos” has become a reality that is welcomed with arms wide open. If that’s our only problem, then we’re right on track and thankful for it:)
For some reason I really feel connected to you (although we have never met). To be honest, your blog has changed my life. The Lord has used your story to help me (selfishly said, but completely true). God is so good that way. Your story truly touched my heart. It was a reality check. We all do things that truly are innocent and we don’t realize that we could end up in a situation similar to your own. I pray that the Lord will bestow PEACE that surpasses all understanding to you and that you will forgive yourself. I cannot imagine how difficult the past couple of weeks have been on you and your family. Praise God for this wonderful outcome. May He continue to bless Bronson with a perfect recovery! I hope you continue to blog, as the Lord has blessed you with an incredible talent that is able to reach many. I will continue to follow your blog and Bronson’s progress. Blessings to you, Matt and all of
your boys!!! In Christ, Mandy
That is so great. He is such a cute little guy. There is so much life in his face. I'm so happy for your family.
SO happy for you Bronson is such a fighter I am thrilled at this happy ending. Continued blessing to you and your family.
Summer in California
It's so nice to see a happy ending and to be reminded that God is good. That he does listen, and heals our hearts, and answers our prayers. He truly will never leave us comfortless, and your story reminded me of that. I am so happy for you and your second chance with your sweet baby boy!
My name is Jessie and I found your blog through my friend. You are so strong and inspiring. I hope, if I'm ever put in a situation like yours, that I can have the faith of my Heavenly Father, as you did and still do.
I'm so happy Bronson is home again with him mommy, daddy, and big brothers. I cried as I read your blog, and I think it's amazing how a complete stranger can touch me in so many ways.
Tonight, I left my 13 month old, in the bath, playing with her toys, as I hurriedly put our clothes in the dryer. I will never do that again. I will not let myself get distracted and overwhelmed with the messes, the laundry, the "things to do" anymore. Thank you for reminding me that life is just to fragile and just to short. My prayers are with you and your family.
You're amazing.
Congratulations on going home Bronson! He looks great, what a miracle he is and what a great testimony he will have and you all have. Thank you for sharing his and your family's experience through this difficult time.
Yeah!!!! Words can't express how happy I am for your family!!! Unbelievable!!! No--actually totally believable---believing in miracles!!! Soooo happy for your miracle!! Yeah Bronson!!! I watch the videos and cry though--every time :) So tender and touched am I--and happy for you mom and dad :) I would like to give Bronson a big squeeze---so cute :)
Luv,
Becca Anderson
HOW PRECIOUS!
THANK YOU JESUS!!
I'm just so happy for you and Bronson and your family. I give you my love and tears of joy.
Amy,
Shame on you.
Sara,
A MILLION loves a ZILLION congratulations and every single shout for JOY I can muster.
Love,
Natalie
You mentioned in your first blog that Matt will always pass that spot by Timpview with dread remembering this incident. I propose that he'll forever pass that spot and say a small prayer to God for his wonderous plan that we may not understand but that is real. That he passes that spot and smiles becuase it was the catalyst that brought you closer together as a couple, a family and a united family with those friends, loved ones and absolute strangers from around the world who drew hope and inspiration from an undaunted, persistent mom and dad, a strong, resilient boy and a omnipotent, omniscient Father in Heaven.
So HAPPY for your family! Going to bed on a good note! : )
Amy (Post at 5:32PM),
My stomach dropped when I heard about the two little girls in Layton, UT that passed away. What a tragedy and how horrible for that poor little family! I can't even imagine. . .I really can't. . .If you know the family personally, I am so sorry. I will pray for their family--that they are able to find comfort during this most difficult time.
Amy--Ultimately all of our lives are in God's hands, according to his will. I don't think it is fair for you to attack Sara on her religious beliefs, her strong faith, or how she acted during this crisis. Have you ever experienced anything similar? None of us know how we will react in certain situations. It isn't fair to judge another without having walked in their shoes first.
I thought Sara handled the entire situation beginning to end with such strength and grace. Did you want her to interview in her pajamas with her hair uncombed, and Bronson a matching duo alongside? Would this have changed your perspective? I think not. To mention such small petty things about clothes and hair is just ridiculous. You are missing something bigger here--perhaps you should re-read the entire story, and witness a miracle,a true tender mercy, granted from a loving God above, unfold before your eyes.
Sara is rejoicing! The life of her beautiful baby boy was spared! All of us are!
My heart truly goes out to the family that lost the two little girls. I really do wish from the bottom of my heart, they could have had the same outcome.
We don't always understand why things happen, but we have to have faith. Gaining faith through our personal beliefs is what gives us hope, what gives us strength to get through anything. I hope you are able to find the strength that you need. . .
I have been reading your story but never posted for not knowing what to say. I have cried tears of sadness and tears of joy reading it, I truly wish you, Bronson and your family the very best in this recovery, and I will be praying for you all.
Thank-you, Lord!!!
I've been following your journey and praying for all of you. In addition to prayer for Bronson's healing, I pray that you can forgive yourself. You are an amazing mum - thank-you for allowing me to journey with you. Kate xx
To you who doubt- Have you ever considered that we know it wasnt our prayers that changed the outcome for Bronson. God's will is aways done. Have you also considered that we werent even praying for Bronson to live or be made whole. Our prayers were of comfort for Sara, Matt and the boys. Patience, love and understanding for Ali as she cared for the children at home. Angels to surround Bronson and help him to understand that the Dr's and Nurses werent trying to hurt him but help him. Knowledge and inspiration for the Drs and staff to treat Bronson to the best of their ability, to remember their training and trust their instinct. God answers prayers, it is Gods will not mans, this is something the Toone family understands. I will pray that you may to.
We are SO grateful for your MIRACLE and pray that Bronson will continue to make such wonderful progress and that your whole family will be able to heal. We are so, so happy for you!
Wow, I am so happy for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story and letting us mom s remember not to take life for grantied!!!!
Look at that sweet, sweet boy! He sure does have a smile that will melt your heart, doesn't he? I am SO happy for all of you! Thank you for sharing your story with us. I will continue to pray for little Bronson! I have your blog bookmarked, and I look forward to seeing him grow up, along with the rest of your sweet boys :) I am so thankful for a God who answers prayer! What a little miracle baby you have...no doubt that God has wonderful things in store for him!
I just wanted to let you know how amazing your story is. Unfortunate it happened, but none the less, I am happy for the happy ending.
I have been following (and praying for you, your family and baby B) since the day you first started posting.
God.Is.Good.
With love, from a military family in Germany!
xoxo
Absolutely incredible! I know I will follow this little guy as he grows...for he has truly changed my life! Thank YOU for all you have done and said. A true miracle in so many ways. Thank you!
SO AWESOME! Regardless of the outcome, I have no doubt that this would have been a faith-building experience for you and your family. SO happy to hear your wonderful news and waiting on pins and needles to see a video of the miracle boy at home!!!
Thank you for sharing this painful yet beautiful experience with us.It strengthened my testimony of the power of prayer and our Heavenly Father's ability to heal through the power of the priesthood.
I know you have heard this a million times but . . .WOW, AMAZING!
More then amazing.
I am so happy for all of you! He is such an amazing boy and is blessed to have such an incredible mother and family. I wish you all the best as you return home. Thank you for sharing your story of faith and miracles--it has changed me forever!
You don't know me, but I had to leave a comment. I'm so glad you got a miracle! Bronson is nothing short of that. Reading your blog and seeing Bronson's PICU photos brings back memories from a year ago when my son spent 11 days at PCMC with a serious case of pneumonia. You're right. That place needs all the miracles it can get! We all need these reminders to hug our children a little tighter and cherish every moment with them. They are gifts from Heaven. You have certainly strengthened my testimony. I've struggled with the guilt this can bring - please don't let anyone make you feel you're anything less than the wonderful mom you are. Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so happy for you guys! What a great miracle!!!
Bronson, you Rock Star! Can't wait to see the homecoming pictures!
Look at YOU Litte B!!
Beautiful!
He looks amazing! We love him!
Congratulations!!! I am so glad he is home. I bet you are glad to be home too and sleep in your own bed.
Sara, you are an amazing writer. You express your feelings so well. Ever considered writing a book? So many of us felt like we were right there with you as you described the roller coaster of events this past two weeks.
Also, now that you are home, don't be afraid of that bath. Go give Bronson a bath in it. If you feel nervous, invite the whole family or your husband to come watch him take a bath. Make some positive memories to push out the past. Do that the next 10, 20, or 100 baths if that is what it takes. :)
Your little Bronson is a miracle and I can not doubt that Father in Heaven has great plans for him! God bless you in your happily ever after!
A little walking Miracle!!!!!! So glad to hear your all home now, Godless all the Staker Family xxxx
Bronson you so HANDSOME!!!!! what a beautiful smile xxxxxxxxx
Hooray for Bronson! What a blessing for your family.
Blogging is a different form of therapy for people. Writting feelings and emotions down help heal the heart when times are tough. To the rude comment above... Have a little compassion. You have no right commenting on how someone should act when going through a tragedy. Everyone handles trials differently. Leave your selfish comments to yourself.
Everyone is so happy to hear this turned out a happy ending. Yes, another family is aching for their two girls right now but you were given a miracle and you should enjoy every second of it!! Go Bronson!
I just got word of you blog. I read the story of what happened and see your most recent post of him walking. What a miracle. Thank you for sharing your story. Our family will pray for your beautiful family.
I don't know if I've ever been so thrilled for another person's child as I am for little Bronson. I have three boys myself and I have cried, prayed and cried some more reading your story. Praise our good, good God.
WOW!! What a miracle!! Thank you so much for sharing with us and proving to the world that miracles still exist!! Way to go Bronson!!
thanks for sharing your story and for the honesty!! our whole family prayed for you guys and are so happy for you!! give him a huge hug from us and thanks for your great example!!
What a little champion! I can't believe he's HOME. Hallelujah!!! I do believe he's looking a bit "warmsie" underneath that cute shirt...darling.
You are such a strong person and have such a strong family. Thanks for sharing your story.
Okay...I know you guys are all at home enjoying Mr. Bronson being back to himself. BUT...I WANT TO SEE A VIDEO OF THAT LITTLE MAN RUNNING AROUND AND SQUILLING AT HOME. Us Prayer Warriors want to see our little miracle of answered prayers.
Sending lots of love and thanking the LORD for healing Bronson.

I don't know any of you but I have been following your story and praying for you! What a miracle boy little Bronson is!! Thank you for your example of FAITH and LOVE! I am an occupational therapist and I have seen very few miracles such as yours. You deserve this miracle! So HAPPY for you all!!
What a blessing!
Just was linked to your blog from another board online. I am so happy for your happy ending. I appreciate your details, and that you shared your amazingly-difficult lesson learned. Bronson is your miracle boy. I hope you know that you also helped save him ... thank goodness you knew CPR. So, so glad for your happy ending. Way to go, Little Champion of the World!!!
I'm just another person whom your story has touched deeply. Your transparency is convicting, and your faith inspiring. Praise God, and thank you to Jesus, the perfect healer!
So awesome! Thank you for your testimonies and faith!
Literally I am speechless! I just looked at his pic of him smiling, walking (!!!!!!) My mouth just dropped open! you have touched our hearts and our lives in so many ways by sharing this story. I have come everyday to see his updates and just to pray and plead to our Heavenly Father for this precious little boy and I could shout it from the rooftops for you just how amazing and Great GOD IS!!!!!!!! ok, so I said I was speechless, right? hehehe, I am just so so so so happy for your family. Praise the LORD!
from a mama of 9 who will never, ever again leave her kiddo-s in the tub to run and get clothes.
So amazing to see him. So thankful and overjoyed at your good news. :)
yeah!!! we are so excited and happy for you guys and little bronson!! what a miracle!!
I am so happy for your family. I am happy that your little boy is going to be ok.
It bothers me that you get so much press. There are so many children in Primary that are fighting for their lives through no fault of there own or there parents. They do not get the attention that you seem to have poured upon you. This just does not seem right to me:(
You have a walking miracle! I am so happy for little Bronson and your family. The Lord has a purpose for him here on earth. ;) I am sure you and your family got a goodnight sleep.
I haven't even read all the comments but I hope they are all full of the same love, relief, and gratitude as I feel for you and your family. What wonderful, glorious news. We have been praying and will continue. Rest well, Mama.
Do you only leave on the comments that you want on here. Mine was deleted. Why? Because it wasn't quite as sugar coated as the rest. So I say how many others have been deleted?
I am truly happy your little guy is ok but like the person before me wrote there are many others who through know fault of their own don't make it or are still fighting for their lives.

I've never met Sara but I can honestly say from reading her blog throughout this rollercoaster ride that press and attention were the least of Sara's concerns. One cannot even imagine how difficult it must be to sit helplessly at your child 's bedside just hoping they will make it another day. Blogging is like keeping a diary for many a way to get your thoughts and emotions out, it was also as Sara herself said a way to keep family updated. How can anyone fault her for asking for the prayers of strangers? I pray that you are never in a position where you are dependent on the love and prayers of strangers to make it through the night.
I want to thank Sara for being so transparent and open with her story, likely many have said before you have taught me to focus on the now and let the little things slide. Please know that the negative posters are definitely in the minority.
I've been following your story from down here in New Zealand, and you have been on my mind and in my prayers from the start. Funnily enough I felt comforted and reassured from one of your earliest posts that said he was blessed to be made whole again by the Priesthood. I felt then that everything would work out fine, and I am so glad to see it did. God has surely been cradling your little boy in his arms till He was ready to give him back.
WOW WOW WOW! He looks amazing! I started reading your blog about a week ago and each post has brought me to tears. Thank you so much for telling your story. It has made me so thankful of my 2 precious boys and has strengthened my testimony tremendously! I am seriously so happy to see this picture.
So now we hold grudges against people when their child survives a MAJOR trauma?? I continue to be amazed at the crazy people in this world So sad!
Sara, you are absolutely amazaing. Bronson...well, you definitely have an angel here on earth with you!!! You are one blessed family and MOST of us, those of us that are rational and compassionate, appreciate your story more than you can possible understand!!!
It's a sad day when people feel the need to spew hatred and ugliness onto a mother simply because a lot of people have followed their story and it happened to have a 2 min. spot on the news... Their story is a message of hope, of love and of faith. Is that such a bad thing? Their story has inspired hundreds to remember the truly important things in life and has helped to strengthen their own faith. How is that a bad thing? Do any of us what innocent children to suffer and die? Of course not. My prayers are with all of them and their families. I just can't understand how taking away from Bronson's story and his miracle is going to help anyone...
Staker family, I hope that you are enjoying lots of family time at home with all of your sweet boys. Little Bronson's smile is amazing and my kids love this picture of him! God Bless you all!
So happy for you guys!!!!! what a little stud!
wow! what a little miracle!!!
I've been silently following along for awhile now and just had to tell you how HAPPY I am for you that he is doing so well!!!! A true blessing- he has had so many people thinking of him and praying for him.
Wow one mamma wants alot of attention for neglect! The attention should be of a different nature...
Definitely THE undisputable champion!
I know you guys don't know me but I feel as if I know you....your story has overwhelmed me, I have read your blog everyday and when I see that smile I am so amazed at the miracle. I keep looking back at pics from just a week ago, I can't help but praise the Lord and smile smile smile! Thank you for your blog and sharing so openly with people like me, those you don't even know. Your story has impacted my life and perspective forever! Bellingham, Wa
He is beyond amazing!! GOD IS GREAT!!!!
I had to post again and say how appalled I am by the thoughtless and spiteful comments left by a few people.
Of course the Staker family's attention will be focused on their own beloved child. This doesn't mean that they consider other children to be less important, rather that Bronson is the child God entrusted to them and his well-being affects them deeply.
Blogging is a wonderful form of therapy and I'm thrilled that Sara has been able to use this form of writing to process the experience and provide updates for family and friends.
Sara is not forcing anyone to read her blog. If you find it offensive, please leave it for people who can now rejoice with this strong and courageous family.
This is the best photo ever!!! I am so thrilled for you and your family.
Oh my gosh. This is the best valentine's gift I have ever received. Some stranger is back in the arms of his family and I am sooooo happy, I am bawling my eyes out. I cannot tell you how much I have thought about little Bronson. I feel like he is one of my own children.
Glory be to God. Glory be to God. Glory be to God.
What absolutely wonderful news! So awesome. I heard your story through a friend and found your blog through another friend. It's evident that so many people have been praying for your son. What an amazing little guy he is! Love the picture! :)
Thank you for your brave example of faith and hope in the face of such a tragic, and now triumphant situation. And thank you for having the courage to share it with all of us.
"Undisputed Champion of the World" Photo = Pure happiness for me.
Go, Bronson, Go! You miracle boy.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am a mom of two, Ages 4 & 2, and I get caught up in the cleaning, and working, and cooking, and I really needed to hear this story. To take the time to hug them, be with them, care for them, and not worry about the little things (like cleaning) and realize how precious their lives are! I am SO happy that things are going well for Bronson and your family. I think you are an amazing women and mom and I hope you know that!!! Thanks again for sharing your story to many moms who all deal with the same overwhelming job of motherhood! Your story was actually shared as part of a relief society enrichment night, as part of a speed cleaning tips, and the teacher wanted to make sure we understood, that as mothers, what our MAIN priorities should be. Wow....I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. I can't wait to keep reading about the great progress your son is making!
Congratulations Bronson, Sara, Matt, & family! What a miracle! I'm so happy things turned out like they did for you guys. What an amazing story!
I am so thankful for your miracle!!!! I am also thankful for your willingness to share your experience. I have grown emotionally and spiritually, experiencing the last couple of weeks through your blog. May Heavenly Father continue to bless you and every member of your precious family. ♥
GOD IS GOOD!!!! What a beautiful little blessing! Thank ou for sharing your testimony and story with us! We are EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, better for it!
What an amazing ending! He is a beautiuful little boy God Bless you!! What a wonderful God just amazing beautiful video I can't stop crying (happy tears of course!)
Don't know if you remember but I took care of you and Bronson when he was born. I want to thank you for sharing this story with the world. Mine and countless other testimonies have grown from your willingness to share. I am so grateful for Bronson's recovery. For the blessings your family and all of us have received. I remember how awesome your family is, thanks for letting me share. Thanks for helping my testimony to grow. Thanks for reminding all of us to take a minute and let the ones we love know how much we love them. Give that Bronson a big hug from his "baby nurse". Give yourself a big hug also. Thank you. Terry RN
Absolutely amazing.. a miracle! I'm so thrilled!!!
Thank you for sharing your story and your faith! I am so happy to see that your little boy was able to return to you and go home with you.
OH MY H*** This is the cutest picture I have EVER seen!!!! Man, you have cute babies!
I'm so glad this miracle happened for you. It truly is amazing. I just heard about your story and your blog. I love the way you shared your story. You obviously have a talent for writing as well as photography (we still get lots of comments on the tractor photo). I hope things continue to go well. Thanks for the inspiring story.
