They have finished the long 16 hour warming process
and Bronson is now at 36.4 degrees celsius,
and so far he is holding steady at regular body temperature.
They have taken off the top hypothermia blanket.
He is no longer getting a paralytic drip to keep his body medically paralyzed.
They have lowered the dose of sedative by half
to allow him to slowly wake up from his medically induced coma.
I am typing from his bedside and he is just now starting to flutter his eyes
and show reflexive movements, but nothing major yet.
Wait!
Just as I typed that Matt saw fidgeting fingers and a few toe curls!
That is the first of the minor motor skills we have witnessed so far!
We have been advised to wait to really stimulate him until he is more fully awake.
We want to reserve his energy until he is alert enough to show us what he can really do.
We don't want to wear out his muscles before he is conscious.
I am signing off to go hold his little hand and sing.
"Do As I'm Doing" is his favorite! Sing with us!
Let's see what this guy can show us!

Sara and Matt--My friend Amy from Primary's just read your blog and said that the fact that he was moving so early and responding so early is HUGE. A very good sign. I know you already know that, but thought it couldn't hurt to hear it again. Thank you for posting such a raw, honest blog Sara. The fact that you could do that in the midst of what you're going through says so much about your strength and your character. It is beautiful and every mother can relate to everything you say. I sobbed reading myself in between all of the lines. Thanks for being gracious about seeing us today. I just really wanted to hug you. Love--Carrie

Sara,
My heart aches for you. I can only imagine how you must feel. EVERY mother has been distracted trying to juggle a million things. Nobody blames you and thinks of you as a less person. It could have been anyone.
I love you.
Staker family - Thanks for sharing so much of your heart with us on your blog. We are praying for your sweet son and your family to be blessed with whatever the Lord has in store for you. We know He is mindful of each one of us. May the desires of your heart be brought to pass. Thanks for your friendship.
We have been praying like crazy here at our house! Way to go Bronson on curling your toes & moving your fingers!
I have seen & witnessed miracles in my own life and we are praying for a miracle here.
It's wonderful to see the outpouring of love and praying in his behalf. He is one LOVED little boy! I just want to throw my arms around you guys.
Love you!

Go Little Bronson!

We are so sorry. Are hearts go out to you. We are praying for him and your family!
Who would sugar coat this? You left your child alone to put away shoes. Then went on the Today show to brag about it. After blogging from the ICU. You're despicable.
