«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 502 Newer› Newest»It is amazing how this wonderful little boy has touched so many lives. He has brought so many together down on their knees. I do not know you but I love this little guy and your family. It is strange how that works. Love...
I am so glad to see this photo and the video. I am pregnant with my third and before I sit down to read your blog I always bring the tissues. How awesome this story is. How grateful we all are to have a little bit of this story in our lives too!
You two are amazing parents. Your other boys from what I have read and following in your steps. I know one day you will forgive yourself. Bronson already has. His eyes are so warm and welcoming to life around him.
Thanks again for sharing your life. It is hope and strength for us all.
A huge sigh of relief from New Zealand. Thank you for sharing the 12 month old pictures of Bronson, I could then focus on the alive, vibrant boy that he is. You are all so Blessed.
WOW amazing! I am crying tears of happiness and I have never even met you. GOD is GOOD!
My son was born over 3 months early and spent first 4 months of his life in the hospital and had to come home on machines. So I recognize the machines that he has been on and WOW HE SURE HAS MADE PROGRESS!!! What a little fighter you have on your hands! He and the rest of your family truly are inspirations. I am so happy to see how well he is doing. He is beautiful.
Sara,
That photo of Bronson is PRICELESS!!! What a beautiful miracle. We are continuing to keep you all in our prayers! Arinn Aanderud
I pleaded for a miracle for a mommy in need. My heart is full. We all needed this! Glory to God and his Son!
omg! he's on a nasal cannula! He looks great!!!! Miracles do happen...your family is so blessed, and has also touched many more through your journey...I know you have changed the way I do bathtime around my house, and many of my friends feel the same way. And I thank you for sharing your story for that.
What a brilliant gift for all of you ... I am in awe :-) Go Baby B, GO!!

I don't even know Bronson, but as soon as I scrolled down to this picture I could tell how AWAKE he is....this picture instantly filled me with joy! And no more intibation (sp?) YEAH for that too! I can't even begin to imagine your family's joy right now...Bronson and your family will continue to be in our prayers because obviously the prayers are working. (That tends to happen when you have thousands praying/fasting for one purpose!)
Awwwww little Bronson....such an angel. I wonder the stories he could tell us about this past week....I'm sure he's been held in Heavenly arms. Soooo happy, relieved, excited for all of you. My testimony of prayer, love and fasting has grown yet again. Love you.
I've been following your blog for the last few days after hearing about Bronson on Baby Center's Bargain Hunters boards. I was so excited today to see the picture you posted of him smiling and the updates from the last 24 hours. Your family is in my family's prayers.
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am a stranger to you as well, but I have been following/ thinking/ praying for little Bronson and your family since I first heard your story from your dad's email/newsletter! We were actually watching one of his videos today and telling my mom about your miracle and I'm so, so happy to come home and see that the miracle continues! May God continue to shine on you and your family, especially your special little man Bronson! :)
What a beautiful smile! So precious! God Bless!!!
Can't quit bawling my eyes out!!!! GLORY TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miracles happen around us daily and it is through our faith we are entitled to witness them. How sweet little Bronson's smile is and how pure. It is almost as if he is telling us he has been in God's hands all this time. Thank you for sharing your personal heartache and joy with all of us. May the Lord continue to bless Bronson and his family as you continue the healing process.

His picture took my breath away. I don't remember feeling such instant joy when I saw Bronson's wonderful bright eyes and "I'm BACK" smile!!! Thank you for sharing this incredible journey in to the center of your lives. It will never be forgotten.
Praise God! I am so incredibly happy for you & your beautiful family and that precious baby boy. I have lots of thank you's to ad to my prayers tonight.
God bless you.
MT Kansas
I just found out about your story through a friend and I'm having trouble putting into words everything I felt as I read about it.
All I can say is that Bronson is lucky to have you as his parents. You have loved him and given him the greatest gift possible, the gospel.
I am so happy to read about his improvements and to see his big beautiful eyes open and even looking happy. He is an amazingly strong little boy. I would like to add my prayers to the many already said for your family. Thank you for sharing everything. It has humbled and inspired me and has strengthened my own testimony.
You can't even know the effect his recovery has had on my little one's testimony. They're 17, 15, 12, 11 and 3, and they've all been praying for Bronson and you guys, and this right here, his recovery and smile, his extubation...all of it...has done things to their testimonies. You have no idea how you've touched us all. Bless your sweet heart, lil Bronson. You are loved by many strangers.
Praise God! Now that was a picture to make my night! God is so good and so faithful...
I am so thrilled for Bronson and your family! I have fasted and prayed for you! I have been excited all day from hearing the great news! I will thank our Heavenly Father! Thanks for keeping us updated!
Love from Utah County!
Sara!!!! We are soooooo excited for Bronson! He looks great. Miracles happen. Prayers are answered. Hang in there- the best is yet to come. Our prayers & thoughts are STILL with you.
I have chills! Just look at that boy. Oh, he's a living, breathing miracle.
So happy for you and still praying for you.
Love,
Jenn
Our family has been praying for your little man! Your names are on the prayer rolls for the next 2 weeks in the following temples: Columbia River, Seattle Washington, Provo, Salt Lake, Oquirrh Mtn, Orlando, Manhattan and Palmyra. What a joy and blessing to your family that Bronson is awake and alert!
Much love~
Jill
What joy! Words can not describe my joy for you and your family right now. May he keep moving in the right direction. What a miracle! Heavenly Father is amazing!
I have tears streaming down my face as I look at his adorable smile. I'm so happy to see him awake and off the vent. Just awesome. God is a great and kind God. I'll keep praying for him and you.
Mine are words you have likely heard a billion times, but my prayers and love are with you and your family. I do not know you nor do you know me, but I am touched by your strength, faith, and honesty. I am quite certain that what happened the day your boy drowned is something almost EVERY mother could have experienced...and for some reason it didn't. You are an angel mother and your son is certainly has the greatest love in the world. You and your beautiful family will be in my thoughts and prayers forever...so good to see the progress your son is making...what a beautiful boy...Thank you for the reminder of how precious our little ones are...I am going to go hold my baby girl one more time before I retire to my bed tonight. Love...Annie
chills, all over... what an amazing little boy you have... what a little fighter... one of these days, he will read this blog and know just how amazing he really is, how he has moved so many people from across the globe, he had definetly made me hug my baby girls a little tighter each day. He will also read how you never gave up hope and faith, YOU are an amazing Momma and don't EVER think any different. God bless you and your beautiful eternal family.
Did a smile ever look so good! you have been in our thoughts and prayers constantly all week. We put bronson's name on the prayer list at the temple tonight...lets keep this recovery moving! what a brave wonderful boy! You are such an example, and have helped me to be a better mom. I think it is so sweet what positive things you have to say about your husband, and how in such an awful situation your family got stronger. What a wonderful day it will be when you can all back in your home together. I look forward to seeing his progress.
What a blessing!
Sara & Matt!
Congratulations on your tiny miracle boy! Thank you Sara for sharing your faith with us all~
I am so excited to see this picture of little B. I have been checking your blog multiple times a day to see how he is doing. Heavenly Father loves you all so much!! You will continue to be in all of our prayers!
Thank you God. What an amazing blessing. You guys are in our prayers continually.
Thank you for making your blog public so those of us who don't know you can share in your story. This has renewed my faith in miracles and my faith in prayer. I have been more gentle with and more attentive to my 3 little boys, and I have learned to really cherish them.
Rachel
WOW, how amazing it was for me to see your cute little boy smiling at me. You don't know me, but I have been following your story and that smile just made my night. I had to check before going to bed. I hope you enjoy your sweet little boy and that gorgeous smile of his.
Sara-I have been reading your blog every night since my cousin in your ward told me about your baby. I am SO happy for you! What a testament to the power of prayer and the wonder of modern medicine.
Thank you for sharing this experience with me and my family. For allowing us to cry with you, pray with you and witness this miracle with you. Priesthood power is real. Your story has blessed my life. May the Lord's sweetest blessings continue to be with you and your family.
God is great! Bless you, your family and your beautiful boy. Keeping you all in my prayers.
WHOAAaAA!!!
I have been wanting to write to you but I know you have been so busy with your little guy. And with the tons of supporter you have! That is just awesome. But, you don't know me, I happened on to your blog through natalie nortons blog. I wanted to share with you a story about my husband, hopefully it encourages you.
I don't know if you will get to read it as I could imagine it is overwhelming reading so many posts.
My husband when he was 13 years old had his head crushed into a rock in a roll over jeep accident. The paramedics knew of his injury but didn't think his head injury was as bad as some of the other injuries at the accident so the got him to he hospital and put him on a stretcher as focused the other patient. I must add I live in a very small town in South East Utah and at the time our medical staff and hospital was very very tiny. So they were focused on the others, luckily a doctor walked by him and noticed he was losing his life fast. His head was split open and the pressure of his brain was beginning to swell. They then got him on a flight to Grand Junction Colorado asap. He layed in a coma for several days after that. He woke up with no memories. No use of his right side at all. Couldn't feed himself, couldn't talk, couldn't walk, everything right side GONE. The doctors said it doesn't look good he may not come back from this. Well, the Lord knows His children. He blessed Him in so many ways. He progressed quickly, he remembered things. He did have quite the struggle with feeding himself for awhile but, he got it.
I am married to that man now and I watch him as a father and priesthood holder and he served and honorable mission, he is great.
The Lord has his purposes and I have no doubt that if we have faith in his will, that hope will speak peace to our hearts. Satan will replace it with fear as he always does.
I look at my husband and I am so thankful he was preserved for a special time and place and that I get to have him. I will bet you Bronson has a special time and place lurking ahead.
just wanted to share. thanks for letting us pray for you and yours!
brookie
His beautiful little smile made me break down in tears. What a relief for everyone!! I am so grateful that he is doing so well!!
You don't know me as you have read so many others like that but you do my son and daughter Mark and Sabra. I know your husband Matt as we have shopped for carpeting with him. Bless you both, you are a miracle in your own way. I feel that what you have posted here has saved many a child and a parent from the consequences of a tragedy. Thank you!!! As Mark said, Bronson is a little stud. I love his smile and his beautiful eyes they show so much expression. Heavenly father has big things in store for this young lad and right now he is the only one that knows of them. Mark would come to work on our home and start by reading your blog through teary eyes and a choked voice, finally he sent us your site. i am sure many of the commenters will keep your family in their prayers for a long time to come. Prayers of happiness and thankfulness tonight. CONGRATULATIONS to the whole family
wow. what a great picture to see. thanks for updating us so much. i am sure there are many happy hearts this evening after seeing this post.
Speechless and so amazing. What a cutie.
Unbelievable.
He is precious.
YEAAA Bronson! What a fighter :)
Youchuuuuu! I'm so happy for you all! Just the best from Germany!
Simply amazing! Hooray for miracles. Bronson is a miracle to us all. He may techincally be yours but he is a miracle that so many of us needed at this time. With so many individuals struggling with finances and trying to make ends meet, it is nice to be reminded of what it truly inmportant. Thank you Sara, Matt and family. I cannot express the joy that I am truly feeling for all of you. I may be a stranger to you but your stroy has touched my family in many ways. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you god for hearing and answering our prayers that were pure of heart.
By the way- love the pic. What a beuatiful little man!
We are so happy for you and your family! What a sweet little boy! That is GREAT news!
Beautiful boy! So relieved for you!
Sarah, you probably don't remember me, Harmony Young, you took Mike and I's wedding pictures about 11 years ago. We are friends of Mike Lloyd's. Anyways, my neighbor is Kristen Kirby and her mom is in your ward. She sent us a link to your blog last week and I have been following it ever since and praying for your family. This is truly a miracle and we are so happy for your family. He is a little fighter. What a cute family you have. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
I too am a stranger here, as I was sent over from stalking Natalie's blog after being sent from DPS. This is AMAZING! I am so happy for you and your family. God is good! So good! Where's Nat? Has any one told Nat?
Prayers of Thanksgiving headed your way from Logan!!! God Bless!!!
Absolutely beautiful! So wonderful to see the life in his eyes :)
Nicole in CA
Bronson- welcome home, my friend. You are so beautiful. Someday, you will appreciate the courage your mother had in sharing your story, mobilizing the world in prayer, bringing about your miraculous recovery. You will do great things little man, because your mom has made so many of us rethink our days, our chores, our everything. Her courage and your strength are what faith are all about.
Oh how your updates today made me laugh, smile, and cry all at the same time. I'm so happy for you. Thank you for including all of us along the way.
I've been spreading the word on my blog www.foggyshore.blogspot.com. I hope that's okay. I just wanted to get the word out to even more. A prayer said is a prayer heard. :)
Much love to you!
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." So happy to hear such wonderful news! What a glorious day! May the Lord continue to bless your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in your darkest hour, Sara. You are touching so many--myself included. Our prayers will continue for Bronson's full recovery. Love you.
I just stumbled upon your blog through a friend and read your story.
I've just spent the last bit reading and crying my eyes out. Back in June, my niece had a near drowning experience (in a pool) and it is amazing to read the similarities in these 2 stories. Reading your story was like reliving my family's all over again. After spending 8 days in the PICU, she went from completely lifeless with very little hope to a typical 5 year old, so happy and sweet.
Now, 7 months later, you'd never know that she nearly lost her life. Miracles do happen. Thank you for sharing your story. Prayers for your family from Long Beach, California!
Amazing! I am overjoyed for him and your sweet family!! This is that best news ever!!!
This just made my day!!! I don't know you and your sweet family, but your story touched my heart and I have been fasting and praying for your amazing little guy! What a fighter and a miracle!!! Just another testimony of the power of prayers!!! Pure joy for sure!!!
Love from WA state!!!
We are so happy for you. We are sitting here tonight as a couple, with our own little daughters asleep, thinking of you and your family and how grateful we are for that blessing. He is beautiful. We've shed tears of joy for you and your family.
xoxo
I just wanna give that baby a great big kiss and you and Matt great big hugs! Love you!
Oh Sara, oh Matt, I'm so grateful! We are so grateful! Joy is right! So grateful!!!
So happy for you!!!!!!
You are so beautiful!!!
Always in my thoughts!!
Laura
I can't stop crying this past couple days. I've come across your blog through others and read your story, I have 2 boys the exact same age as daynen & bronson(literally just days apart from eachother)
I can't tell you how you've changed my life forever.
I have often stepped away from the tub, thinking, Oh if I could just go grab this, or just do that. As mom's we have such a load on our shoulders, its only a couple minutes but what we can get done in a couple minutes is huge to us. I will never take for granted the important and even simple things in life now.
You are an amazing mother.
You have made a huge impact on so many people by sharing this.
My husband and I haven't stopped thinking about and praying for you and your sweet family for days, I can't help just crying on the spot.
I love the video, it really put it into reality.
I am so happy to see he is doing better and what a MIRACLE.
The Lord is our true Savior, our healer.
He has healed Bronson, and we are all rejoicing over this miracle.
I am a friend of a friend, who told me about your accident and to read your blog. For the past 2 hours I have been reading and crying. As the mother of 2 girls, 16 months and 3 yrs, I cant imagine your horror and pain. But, I also can't imagine the joy of getting your son back. I really feel my testimony strengthened by your family and especially sweet Bronson. Whata beautiful boy. I pray for his full recovery. Your experience makes my children that much more dear to me. Thank you for your posts!!
Love, Ashley
Wow- I'm so happy for you guys. I can't believe how well he is doing. He has been in out prayers.
Saw the update link posted via Natalie Norton...
*gasp*
*smile*
*tears of JOY*
Love to you and your family,
Jessica
What a testimony of how great God is!! What a miracle! We are rejoicing with you!!
You don't know me, I was told of your story from a fellow photographer, Sandy L.
I am in awe of the photo I see on your blog now. Miracle doesn't seem like enough of a word... it's truly awesome... amazing.. incredible... just... wow.
The power of prayer is unreal, and I have no doubt little Bronson will do many great things with his time here on earth. It seems nothing can keep him from his mission here. **hugs and prayers** for you and your family.
Congratualtions!!! Such a miracle.
I'm so so happy for you!
Absolutely amazing!! What an amazing boy - and Heavenly Father is truly amazing. What a miracle. I am so happy for you and your family, that your little boy has been returned to you. He is beautiful - and thank you for sharing your family with us. It broke my heart to see little Bronson hooked up to all those machines. He's around my son's age - same hair color and style. And I was reminded how fast they can be gone. Your story reminds me how precious life is - and what a wonderful joy children are!
I love this photo. It's almost like he doesn't know what he's hooked up to.
We used to play Bunko together with Jane and Susan. Then I had a Cayden, a year or two before you finally had yours. I remember how excited you were to finally become pregnant and a momma. Then our paths drifted apart.
Then just recently, I found your book at Deseret Book up here in Seattle/Bellevue just before Christmas. I wanted to let you know how amazingly beautiful it is. However, I just got busy until now. When I typed in your name and location the web pulled up your family blog too. I was astonished to find the current trial your family is going through. Your story has touched me. I just wanted to add my well wishes and prayers to the abundance of love and support. Your faith is so apparent and tangible, you sons miracle is evidence of IT.
Warmly from an old friend,
Yvette White
My heart quite literally leapt in my chest when I opened your blog and saw that photo!! I am so delighted for you, little Bronson, his daddy, brothers and all your family and friends. How wonderful and thank you for sharing your journey
I'm a friend of a friend of a friend, etc. One of my favorite scriptures is Mosiah 27:14. Heavenly Father is so insistent on answering prayers that he sent an angel! Thank you so much for your testimony. It touched my heart and has helped mine to grow. I find myself offering more sincere and heartfelt prayers than my usual.
Hooray! I couldn't be happier! A picture is worth a thousand words and that one is worth even more!!!
This has just made my day! GOD is so good! Bronson you're beautiful and I know that your story is going to save lives!
AMAZING, GRACIOUS, LOVING, EVER FAITHFUL GOD we thank You!!!
I am OVERJOYED for you, Sara!!!!! Wow!!!!! And how HANDSOME is little B??
Please continue to update us! xx

Who would have thought a picture of an adorable little boy in the hospital with tubes and wires, etc. would be the best thing ever?! So, so happy for you and your family :)
Hi Sara, Matt and precious boys,
So very happy to see the update on Bronson! I knew this was coming. I want you to know that ever since I discovered this blog, I have been adding Bronson to the top of my prayer list. I have called his name before the Lord on your behalf and I've had such a peace for you. The Lord is going to continue to do a great work.
I guess I felt so attached to your story because like you Sara, I am the "Supermom" who can do a thousand things at once. I have 4 kids as well and have left my 2 year old in the tub with her 4 year old brother as I walked down the hall to put away laundry or straighten a room. Never again, never again. Thank you for telling your story and for being so real. You and your family are continually in my prayers and I'm looking forward to reading more miraculous reports! Praise the Lord!
I'm so thrilled to see this pic. I've been praying for Bronson every day! What a beautiful smile :)
Thank you for sharing your pain...
and your JOY with us!!!
<3 Bronson <3
Look at that big boy breathing on his own! Yay, Bronson!
Look at that face! AMAZING! So happy for you and your wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your story. My prayers continue to go out to you so that Bronson can make a full recovery. All my love and prayers...
I'm another unknown reader, but my cousin let me know about your blog last week. I was so touched by your heartfelt story that I literally couldn't sleep. I awoke several times during the night and kept pleading with God for a miracle for Bronson and your family. Your testimony of that miracle has touched me so deeply. The power of the priesthood is real. This boy has such a special mission (from your miraculous pregnancy to this very miracle.) It's such a testimony to me that our Heavenly Father knows us individually, and we really do have unique missions on this earth. May He continue to bless you and your precious family.
Oh YEAH!!!! We're doing cart wheels!!! Love the video of him following you. And this PHOTO of Bronson is A.W.E.S.O.M.E. What a precious little guy...what a STUD!!! Way to go little man!!! Keep getting better!!!
I can't believe I have witnessed a miracle before my eyes! I'm a stranger who has followed your blog for about a week and I am in awe at how wonderful our Lord is!
Congratulations to your beautiful family! Can't wait for more updates!
Although I don't know you or your family, I have followed you on this journey with your sweet boy and am overcome with joy as I read about his amazing recovery! We almost lost our son as a newborn, so, from one mom to another...our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you!!!
woohoo!!! What a thrill!

Crying tears of joy. I have been following your blog for days. I am in awe of the power of prayer.

I found your blog a few days ago and have cried with you and now I am praising God with you! What a BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING thing to see Sweet Bronson bright-eyed and bushy tailed! God is Good!!!
Sara, You don't know me, but I grew up with the Stakers. My brother Ken and Matt are friends. Larry was our home teacher when I was a child. I remember him well. I have been praying for your family and especially Bronson. Thank you so much for sharing your story, as hard as it may have been. I am a paramedic and have seen way too much of this kind of thing without the miracle. Thank the Lord!!! Prayers to all.
Yeah Bronson! Yeah Staker family! We love you...
Bronson, your eyes sparkles like the stars. I'm standing in line to be one of your Valentines, you dear sweet boy. Good good morning! Great joy, for this is the day the Lord has made. (friend of Um...Thanks)
Beautiful picture! His Spirit is bursting thru on this one! This is my first comment although I've been following your blog this whole time as well as praying for you and your family. I love how we can be strangers on earth but still feel connected as we pray for each other. I love that Spritual connection we are blessed to have.
My 2 year old girl says she wants to "type to Bronson's mom to tell her that Heavenly Father loves her." ...

We do love you all,
Amen to all that has been said & may the Lord continue to bless Bronson and all of those who care for him. <3
I find myself clicking on the link to this post over and over and over!! I just want to witness and SEE the proof of God's awesome faithfulness and blessing again and again. I'm so, so happy for you all. I can't wait to follow along with the rest of his progress and see him get better and better! :) I bet his brothers are so excited as well.
Miracles still happen. No doubt about that.
I never knew I could shed so many tears of joy for someone I do not even know. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. It shows that God STILL is a God of Miracles. Knowing that you received your miracle gives me hope when I ask for mine.
Lots of Love from New Mexico

So happy to see that Bronson is improving everyday. I have been praying for him and it looks like everyone else is too! So glad to see this update!

You are an amazing family...thank you for sharing your story and touching so many lives in the process.

You don't know me, but I'm so amazed at your story. Thank you for allowing a random visitor like myself to be touched so deeply and forever by your story. Too close to home, literally. I live in Lehi and my son is just Bronson's age. I'm hugging him tighter and never leaving him alone in the tub to do chores like I so many times have in the past. Thank you again. God bless your sweet family.

I have never met you, but I have been following your blog the last week and a-half and I feel like I know you well. It is amazing how moms can connect. I am so in love with your little Bronson.

I hope Bronson continues to recover well and you will be taking him home soon!
God is so great! That little boy of yours is nothing short of a miracle!! I have the happy tears streaming down my face, he is so precious & will continue to be in my prayers until he is home safe in your arms!! Amazing, just amazing!
