We thank you forever for your prayers and your faith on behalf of our little family. We can not thank you enough for helping us to call down the healing powers of heaven to fix our broken little boy. We know that Bronson lives today because it is Heavenly Father's will that he be allowed to stand as a testimony of His miraculous power . We hope to make the most of this second chance. There are truly no words that can express gratitude of this magnitude. Just joy... Pure joy!
Love- The Staker Family

Beautiful, praise God! I am so glad He led me to pray for your son and to read your blog. Bronson has blessed me, what a sweet joy.
What a wonderful testimony of the power of prayer and faith. A testimony of miracles and that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us. We are all blessed to have been able to pray for Bronson and have OUR testimonies strenghtened by the things we witnessed because of your trial, your faith and most of all your willingness to share what must be so personal.
Thank you!
HOW ABSOLUTELY FITTING, THAT ON FEBRUARY 14TH, THE DAY OF LOVE, THE MOST LOVED LITTLE BOY IN THE WORLD FOR THE LAST 13 DAYS HAS MADE US ALL CRY AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME OF PURE JOY.
Thank you Sara & Matt, for allowing us into this most precious time of your life, for reminding us of what IS important to us, and for showing the strength and courage you did with your honesty.
I, like thousands of others, sincerely hope you still update us all every now and then on Bronson as he's become apart of so many lives, thoughts and prayers.
To see that little man of yours walking out of the hospital is the sweetest thing I've seen outside my own beautiful daughter.
All the best.

I stumbled upon your story and blog last week through KSL. I too am a Mom of 4 little boys and immediately had heartstrings attached to you and your family. I read every post. Cried with you, laughed with you, and cheered little "B" on. Your faith is inspiring. Your class is amazing. Your family is beautiful, and at home again. Congratulations! What an inspiration your story has been to the rest of us. Now, go enjoy your boy! :)
What a beautiful video you've put together. Thank you for sharing your story with all of "us". It has changed my life! I too have a little 16 month old and I can only imagine the joy you are experiencing having him home again. Thank you for all the lessons you've allowed me to learn through your experience.
Forever grateful,

So wonderful. Amazing. Beautiful.
What an Awesome God!

I have followed your journey online, so excited to see the progress Bronson has made. Tonight I cried again, but this time tears of Joy~
Andrea
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. What a miracle you've been given. The joy on your faces is so apparent. Jesus is awesome :D
I know this comment is repetitive, but your beautiful boy has been heavy on my mind. This video brings me tears of joy and as a mother I just want to reach through the screen and give him and you a hug...
Way to Go Bronson!! I do believe in Miracles.. :)
xoxo
My family & I are so excited to hear Bronson is home!! My husband and kids would ask me about him everyday as if we knew him personally. Thank you again for sharing your honest story with us. The fact that you just laid it all out there is so admirable to me. Your family is such an inspiration to our family. We have all been touched by this event and it has definitely strengthened our testimonies of the power of prayer and the power of our Heavenly Father. Lots of love from our family to yours. :)
Tears are streaming down my face as I watch your little miracle, B.
Prayers ARE answered.... Miracles DO happen.... and Heavenly Father IS AMAZING!!!! No one can doubt that after hearing your story... after seeing your little boy walk out of that hospital.
Thank you for allowing us to share in your miracle. You really have no idea what this has done for me and my testismony. Truly.... from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
Whitney, from Cali.
Amazing. Your family, your faith, and your story. Thank you for sharing it to boost our faith! So happy for you!
Alison, Vernal, UT
This is amazing. I am in awe. Miracles do happen and I am beyond grateful that your sweet little guy is doing good and has pulled through this! I also have 4 boys (9 years 5 years 3 years and 1 year) and I just saw a link to this from one of my friends.
I have been crying non stop since I read it, first because of the miracle you have been given, second because I can see how a few seconds could change your life forever. Don't blame your self for what happened to him because I know how easily it could happen to ANY of us moms. Bronson is truly a miracle.... amazing.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Thank you for sharing this story of faith, hope, courage ... and love!
We are so excited Baby Bronson is home with you where he belongs!

Another stranger here from Colorado who has been following your story and praying for your sweet Bronson and family. Thanks for opening up your hearts to share Bronson's story with us. I have a 14 month old son and have hugged him tighter and been more focused when I am with him after following your blog. Thanks for that! The video is so touching--still crying and SO thankful for your miracle! I am thrilled for your family!!
So beautiful. Your story will give hope to other families going through their own horrible nightmare.
I will share your beautiful video...
People should remember to ALWAYS have hope.
ALWAYS.
Bronson's smile is contagious! Thank you for sharing him with the world. May God continue to bless your family!
I happened upon your story on the COLES Foundation site and have been following it ever since. You have shown remarkable strength and courage. You have changed the way I look at my children. I follow some Caring Bridge etc sites about children with certain diseases and problems but your story "scared" me the most. I have done the same thing many times and now am more aware that daily events can harm our loved ones as much as the rare illnesses. Thank you for being so blunt and "graphic" in your story, I hope it helped you to get things off your chest as well as those of us reading. Your family is complete and beautiful. Enjoy!
May we all remember that God loves us all, that he hears our prayers, that he knows our sorrows and joys. That he is continually pouring out blessings on each us. Every child is a miracle, we our thankful that your little miracle has been granted the gift of a longer life here on earth. "Welcome, Welcome Sabbath Morning" and welcome home Sweet Bronson.
Tears again....but this time tears of complete happiness.
That would have to be the most touching, inspirational, moving video I have ever seen and I wish your entire family a lifetime of joy and happiness.
Thank you for sharing with everyone a very emotional time in your life.
Best wishes.

I found the link to your tv interview... you were great :)
Love to all your family.

What a beautiful tribute to an even more beautiful family who has overcome a seemingly unsurmountable trial!
Go Bronson!!
What an awesome video!! I am so thrilled for you all :o)
I look forward to reading more about Bronson in future.
The only thing that made me cry harder than I did when I read your account of THAT day was seeing Bronson leave the hospital whole and happy. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful miracle with us. Sara you are an amazing writer, photographer and yes MOTHER. Happy Days are here again.
Your story and MIRACLE has been followed and prayed for by dozens of my friends and family in southwestern Ohio. PRAISE GOD! We are rejoicing with you!
Thank you for sharing with us!
THANK YOU!! for letting us share in your miracle. I know little Bronson will have WAY more than his share of hugs for a very long time - and so will my five little ones. Give him an extra one from his unknown friends in St. George.
Lots of love to your whole family.
What a wonderful Miracle to watch this Sunday morning. Thank You so much for sharing your families miracle with all of us strangers. What an amazing and strong little boy you have.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful miracle with all of us! What a wonderful way to start the sabbath!
I found your story through facebook and had tears streaming down my face as I read your story. As things have turned around, I again have tears streaming down my face, but they are tears of happiness and joy for your family. I am thankful for your miracle and that our loving Heavenly Father has blessed you and your family in ways you wanted and needed. Good luck to you all!! He is the cutest, sweetest, little boy and I am glad you got another chance to spend more time with him on this earth!!
SO WONDERFUL!!!!! Words cannot describe how thrilled and relieved I am for you and your family! Much love!
-Heather
thank you for letting us into your lives a little bit and sharing such a personal and delicate story. you have helped us all feel closer as children of God and opened our eyes. our Ftaher DOES live and loves us. i think we were all waiting to see what and when He would do what was needed...and in this case we apparently all needed to learn to love one another even if we dont personally know each other. i have prayed for your family numerous times these past few weeks and heard myself saying things like our, "sister and brothers are in need, please bless them." our family is so happy that you get this second chance...and that Bronson gets to livenhis life knowing the tender mercies of Heavenly Father were given to him. xoxox please keep blogging! :)
I am so grateful for the miracle that has been given to all of you and baby Bronson. You have done a lovely job documenting a terrible and heartbreaking and ultimatly joyous time. I know that there are times that Heavenly Father says no to our heartfelt and desperate prayers, and miracles of other sorts are felt, but what a beautiful and wonderful thing it is when He says yes.
Good luck to all of you as you return to normal life. And again...what a miracle.
I'm so excited for your family!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I will forever be changed.
B. W.
That was absolutely amazing. Even though I have seen most of those things already, I was sobbing. I was also so excited to see him blowing that kiss, that I knew I saw, but didn't know Alli had caught it on video. Just beautiful! I am so glad he is back home with his entire loving family to complete the rest of his recovery.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Brianna C
I cannot get over how absolutely amazing God is! Thank you.
Amazing and Beautiful, Happy Valentines day to you all, lots of love always and forever.
Your story brought me and my family closer to God- when we thought we were as close as we could get. God IS Good. Your angel B is a blessing to us all. Happy Valentines Day. xoxo
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am so grateful for this miracle for you and your family! This was the best way to start this sabbath morning, for me and my kids. We all sat memorized by this and I just cried, and was able to bear my testimony to them for Heavenly Fathers tender mercies. I am so happy for you!
LOVE.....that was an amazing video that showed pure love for a child. Tears are streaming down my face with the amount of JOY I feel for your family. That video shows what a miracle Bronson is and how awesome our GOD is. Thanks for being so willing to share your story. Love, Brooke

God makes all things wonderful indeed! we prayed for you Bronson! thanks for sharing your story Sara, it is inspiring! You are such a wonderful mom- I admire you for your courage and love and you have a beautiful family=)
Thank you for sharing your testimony and your precious miracle...this was so touching...my faith has been strengthened so very much....
Seeing all of you with Bronson's doctors and nursers was so touching, how wonderful they are and the love they feel for these precious children that they care for must be absolutely immeasurable.
Bronson is absolutely breathtaking...seeing him running and laughing out of the hospital...what a precious cutie pie he is...a precious miracle.
We are so happy for your beautiful family...words can never express the joy we all feel for you. Your homecoming looked absolutely beautiful...what a precious, precious moment!
Thank You!
My boys came running in to watch little B every time I went to your blog. (alot!) Today was no different. They were singing along and clapping for him as he was walking out, I was crying tears of joy looking at your faces. Pure JOY, what a blessing. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing little B's story! I hope you continue blogging!!! Your video made me cry!
I have been following your story and praying for Bronson since Feb.9th. I am so happy that all of our prayers have been answered. God truly is good and he was with you through all of this. I am glad that you shared this story with the world. I for one have learned from your mistake, and no matter how busy I get, or how distracting life tries to be, I will remember Bronson, and I will not be tempted to look away from what is important. Words cannot express how thankful I am to you for teaching me that lesson. I am so thankful also that that you were able to teach this lesson without losing your son. He is an absolutely amazing little boy, and it is just awesome that he is back home with his loving family.
Thank you so much for restoring my perspective this morning. I've been stomping around with a chip on my shoulder, my kids are driving me nuts, and I am grumpy personified.
But I am reminded to savor every moment with my kids. Hug them while I can. Enjoy being together. Thanks.
No better way to start Valentines Day than with a beautiful story of supreme love from a Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. They live and they love each of us. Miracles will never cease.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! ♥♥♥
Happy Valentine's Day I am grateful for the time in which I have had to watch your son a true miracle. I have a 12 month old and I too do leave him in the tub to run into the next room to make the bed. Thank you for the opportunity to strengthen my own testimony and the knowing that I have a lot to improve on. Welcome home and good luck.
Shanon, Logan,UT
I watched your beautiful video, shaking, crying and with chills! It's really a miracle! Thank you for allowing us to witness your family's blessing....it reaffirms that God is GREAT!
The tears of sadness I cried when beginning this journey with your family, have now become tears of pure joy! God is love and Bronson has become a testimony to His enduring power and love for us.
Peace be with your family
Thank you so much for sharing this testimony of miracles with us. What a journey your family and that sweet little boy have been on these last few weeks. I feel as if I have been on the journey right there with you. With each new post you have made regarding his progress, my testimony was strengthened and I think you so much for that.
You have opened my eyes to the precious moments that I so often miss with my three children. It is so easy to get in the zone of keeping a clean house or whatever else it may be, that I find myself all too often saying "Hold on a second". I am changing that. I want to cherish every moment I have with these sweet children of God.
Thank you again for sharing your journey with us. I will forever remember this amazing miracle.
The MOST WONDERFUL Valentine's Day present EVER! XOXO The Madsen Family of Murrieta, CA.
Thanks for sharing that video. My 12 year old daughter who rarely ever fasts on fast Sundays, fasted last week for Bronson whom she doesn't know. We are both so trilled for your family! We have a Bronson in our family too. What a miraculous & faith promoting story. God really does hear all our prayers. Happy Valentines to your family!
Faith can move mountains! What a huge mountain B has overcome. What a little miracle boy.
"Just joy, pure joy"
Well said! I am feeling that joy with you. Enjoy your family:)
Happy Valentines Day!

absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
so happy for yoru family and little Bronson's courage to fight!
Your writing and ability to express yourself is a gift. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I know that you have touched many people's lives beyond measure including mine. Bronson walking out of the hospital was the best part...what an amazing little boy! I am so glad he is home with you today on this Valentines Sunday whole and happy with the ones he loves. I hope you have a relaxing day together as a family, you deserve it!
I really believe Bronson has more miracles he needs to perform here on earth thats why god could not embrace him yet. More than healing and showing all of us a miracle. I will forever be changed as a mom because of you and Bronson. God I am sure loved him then told him to go make his momma proud she deserves it. I wish you all the love you can give ( I know that won't be hard) It will be amazing to see your family ties become knotted forever. xoxox
Just awesome.
You have strengthened my faith so much....Thank you for sharing. Your little Bronson truely is a miracle. You are an AWESOME Mommy, what happened could have to any of us. We will never know how many may be saved from your story ;) Thanks for making me bawl one more time watching the video...this time they are HAPPY tears :)
You sure had a busy day yesterday, Sara! I knew you'd come up with something spectacular to celebrate Bronson's homecoming; the video is awesome! Lily sat and watched it about 3 times before church this morning. She said her favorite part was when Bronson took off running during OT.
I hope you don't mind, I posted your video on my blog and shared a few thoughts for you and Matt. Love you! Oh, happy day!
I'm not even sure how I came across your blog, but someone had asked for prayers and I checked it out. I read your blog just this past Friday and you have touched my life forever. You have an amazing spirit and faith in God. You have been through a nightmare that no parent ever wishes to even dream, let alone live. I am so happy for your family that you get this "second chance" as you called it. God bless you and your family with health and happiness.
Amazing. Simply Amazing. Please continue to blog about Bronson and your family. :) Thanks for sharing his miracle with us!
Tears are streaming. I'm so grateful you've been able to share your story with the world. This truly is a miracle and I am blessed to have witnessed it.
This brings tears to my eyes! What a sweet little miracle Baby Bronson is! God must have wonderful things in store for this little one! We are another family you haven't met, but we feel as if we know you after you've shared your journey with us! Know that Bronson and your family will be in our continued prayers. We've bookmarked your blog and look forward to seeing Bronson (and his sweet brothers) grow up. God is so good!
I get all choked up whenever I see your blog. Thank you for sharing your miracle with the world. I am so happy for your miracle boy! And I think it is great how open and honest you were about the whole terrible ordeal, even the parts that were probably humiliating to share. I think it will bring a renewed awareness of both water safety and more importantly the power of God.
This truly is a miracle! I am over joyed for your family!! You have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I stumbled upon this blog, linked from another one I regularly read. Bronson is a miracle baby- no doubt about it. I am so very glad your family get its happy ending! Loving thoughts and prayers from Newfoundland, Canada! xo
I am not a crier but that video has me in tears.
So happy for your whole family! What a homecoming....pure joy!
Thank you for sharing Bronson's story with all of us who don't "know" you but were still praying and rejoicing right along with you.
God Bless
Hooray! I am so happy for your family!! I've been praying for him.
I am so truly touched at the faith your family has shown. What a miracle!
What a beautiful testament to a true miracle from our Heavenly Father! Bless you, little Bronson, and the whole Staker family, and thank you for sharing your faith with all of us. I'm just so happy that your little guy is back in your arms!
Should have watched this after I did my makeup. So beautiful.
Thank you for taking the time to re-live and share these 2 past weeks with us. So raw and heartwarming with so much emotion that parents can relate to. My twin boys were born about a month after Bronson and also our little miracles with much faith and prayer. Your family has given me a renewed look on life and the blessings Heavenly Father continues to give us.
Thank you for sharing your miracle!
Thank you for sharing this great miracle with us we will forever remember Bronson's Miracle.
What a beautiful testimony for the world to see. Thank you for sharing your miracle with us.
My brother was blessed with a similar miracle after he was hit by a car when he was 7 years old. He went on to serve a full-time LDS mission and is now a devoted father to his first child. Thank you for sharing this amazing story with us all. What a sweet little boy you have! I will never forget your family and I am also grateful for the blessings of prayer and faith. We are so happy for your family!
PERFECT!!!!! I love how you are showing the love you have for the Gospel, how wonderful is it to have IT to hold us up when times seem impossible to get through!!!! Good job to you all!!!! And especially little Bronson!!!
Okay wow! I still am so overjoyed for your little miracle! You should see my tear streaked face mask I have on. :-)
Welcome Home Bronson!!! What a miracle you are!!! I love your beautiful eyes and smile! Thank you for allowing us to witness this miracle. It has brought renewed strength and faith.
what a wonderful video to tell the wonderful, miraculous story that is Bronson; what a wonderful ending from a wonderful GOD! I'm so so so so excited you got to go home WITH your baby boy!

Sara and Matt,
You guys are amazing parents! You are an awesome example of hope, faith and of how we should act during the trials of this life. You grew closer to our Heavenly Father and to each other... What an example you are to all of us. Your family is beautiful and I am thrilled with the ending of the past two weeks that we have watched unfold through your blog. Thanks, we love you. Sabra and Mark
Heavenly Father must have some amazing things in store for Bronson! Leaving the hospital with Bronson in your arms must have been an amazing feeling. I am so happy for you and your family and the miracle that you have been blessed with!
You and your family have been in my prayers! You are an amazingly strong woman, and I thank you for sharing your story and miracle with the rest of us. EVERY mother (even the best- like you) has walked away from their children while in the tub! We are moms...therefore we multitask! But know that you have touched so many hearts, and saved lives of those who will think twice before walking away! I look forward to hearing about B's progress, and watching him and his brothers!!! :) ~A million thank yous! And forever in my thoughts and prayers!!!
Thank You! Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for sharing your Faith. Thank you for sharing your heart. Thank you for sharing you pain. Thank you for teaching me about what's important, about faith, about True Love and Joy, about My Savior, and about life. You have blessed my life in ways you will never know. Thank you.
I found your site through one of my friends on facebook. She was asking for prayer for your family. I first looked at your blog on the day you allowed yourself to take a shower. I was heartbroken for you all and began praying for Bronson and all of you. I missed a few days checking the site(I'd left it on my browser). When I refreshed the page yesterday, my heart soared and tears came to my eyes. From a mom who knows the pain of loosing a child, I am so thankful that you all did not have to know the feeling(even though you came pretty close). Enjoy your boy, and each time you look at his cute little face, remember that God is good! He really answers prayers! Just thought I'd share my heart with you guys. Take care!
Ummm, can I just say that every time I read your blog, I have to have a BOX of tissues right next to me!
Bronson is truly a miracle! Your family is so strong and I admire the faith that you have shown. What an example to those around the world that don't share the same faith as you and me!
I believe that there will be many people opening up their hearts and minds to learn more about our faith.
That, right there, is the good that will come out of all of this! (besides having your sweet HEALTHY boy home with you)
I have thanked you before, and I will thank you again for opening your life to the world so that we can be forever touched!
Thank you!
That was beautiful - thank you for sharing it! I am so happy Bronson walked out of the hospital, what an awesome moment.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this journey with all of us! We are so happy for this amazing miracle and for Bronson's recovery! Love you tons! xoxo Jen
I don't know your family at all, I have been following your story from KSL and I am so touched by your tremendous faith. How wonderful Priesthood blessings are.Your family has touched mine. Thank goodness your little boy is home healthy and safe. May God bless you and your growing family.

I pray that God will remain to be with your entire family for the days and weeks ahead as you come to grips with everything that has happened. Thank you so much for sharing your story! GOD BLESS YOU!

What a beautiful end to what could have been so tragic. Thank you for sharing your little man with the world! Heavenly Father is...everything.
What an amazing experience to be able to follow your blog through this trying time in your families life. I have never heard of another boy named Bronson besides my son until I ran across your blog. Instantly I felt I had a connection to your son. He is adorable and such a trooper. I am so happy for your wonderful miracle, Heavenly Father is truly watching over Bronson. What a special little boy. Thank you for sharing your faith and testimony with the rest of us. You don't know how much it has effected the rest of us.. Good luck to your family!!

I have been following your story since the beginning and have been truely touched. God is truely a God of miracles. I'm so happy that your family is home together on this Valentine's Day! The best gift you could ask for, I'm sure! Please keep us updated on Bronson's life...we all share a connection to your sweet boy. May God's blessings continue to pour out upon your family!!!
Thank you again for sharing this amazing and miraculous journey. I am so happy he is safe and you are all reunited as a family again. God truly is a God of miracles and this story is such a powerful testament of that.
Michael and I are still in St. George and we do not have the internet at our house in Ivins so I am at his office here checking out the blog and enjoying everything I see.
It is amazing that a week ago it was fast Sunday and we were praying so hard for Bronson and now he is home and even walked down the hallway of the hospital to leave. We love that kid. Thanks for sharing so much with the world, your story is a testimony builder. We love your family.

Sara, STOP IT! Stop making me cry. I was just thinking how Bronson will likely have no/little memory of these two pivotal weeks of his life, I hope that as time passes that this ordeal will become an afterthought for your entire family, but especially for you Sara. I have never met a more loving mother than you, as loving sure, but none MORE loving than you.
I'm sure that you're just soaking in every moment with little Bronson, but I do hope that you'll keep us updated.. I just can't get enough of these updates!
I love how Bronson is rebelling against "The Man" by walking out of the hospital all by himself!
♥HAPPY VALENTINES DAY♥
Stakers: Your story has truely strengthen my testimony. I am amazed at the strength you had throughout this trial. Thank you for sharing your story. (Matt, I'm not sure if you will remember me but I am Jason's niece.)
what a beautiful little tribute!! our little family is so glad you are all at home!!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story with all of us. Words cannot express the burning that I have within my heart. I know that God was watching over him and I know that your little boy has a far greater purpose here on earth than we could ever imagine. Again, thank you. You have touched my heart deeply.
I'm filled with awe and amazement. What a truly wonderful ending to such a tragic story. It's nice to see that there still are happy endings amidst all the sadness in the world. God bless you all.
Matt and Sara, My husband went to scout camps and high school with Matt so when a friend pointed us to your blog in early Feb, we began watching and praying for a miracle. We too have a little boy not much older than Bronson. I cried every time I looked at him. I am so thankful that your family and the rest of us get to experience the joy of his smile again. It is obvious what a loving and wonderful family you are. And I for one am thankful that you were willing to open your lives and your hearts so we could all experience such a faith building miracle. You have blessed so many.
With Love,
Jack, Heather and kids.
Never have I been so happy to see a little boy throw a ball!

Thank you for sharing your story. This miracle has truly strengthened my testimony and has served as a reminder of what "things" are truly important in life.
Thank you for sharing your story. Brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion! I am so thrilled to hear that Bronson broke all the odds and has come back to you. What a miracle of love, faith, joy, and support. Congratulations to you and your family.

I work at pcmc... so with each post talking about his amazing madical recovery.. i felt honored to work in a building that helps facilitate such miracles! I will never forget Bronson's story. . . you are one inspirational mommy....
So thrilled for you guys! What a testimony builder for me! Thank you so much for sharing your story! You guys have helped so many people! I loved Bronson walking out of the hospital! Congrats again!
I've only been following your story for about a week and I balled as I ready throught your very first post of what happened. I'm so happy that he is ok. It's truly amazing! He looks so happy and probably so happy to be back home with his brothers!
We have been following Bronson's MIRACLE from the beginning!! Even our 4 kids are in complete awe! Just another testimony to show them God's unfailing love!! WE LOVE BRONSON IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS! xoxoxoxoxo
Unbelieveable. Incredible. Inspirational. Miraculous.
Could not be happier (although you might guess otherwise from the tears rolling down my face) for you.
You deserve this miracle, Sara. It's so clear you're such a good mom. Thank you for letting us get the blessings that come from serving others. It has been a pleasure and a joy praying for your family and watching the healing powers of the Lord go into action.
I hope you'll keep us updated on little B's recovery. I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for this little man!
Sincerely, Amber (Powers)
What an amazing story your sweet little boy and family has to tell. What a sweet little miracle little Bronson is. We have a little miracle baby in our little family as well. Every time I look at her, I know our Heavenly Father has truly blessed us that she is part of our little family. I am so happy for your family and the joy you have of bringing little Bronson home.
I'm probably repeating what a lot of people already have said but I clicked on your blog today and what a beautiful miracle! I cried watching the video today.
I am so happy for your family. Who says miracles have ceased on the earth today. Your little angel is proof of that. What an amazing story he has and what a little fighter. Thank you so much for sharing your story with the whole world. Best of Luck and may Heavenly Father continue to smile upon your family.
~Mandy
What a beautiful video...hopefully it will change many lives. Don't ever let the nay sayers discourage your testimony. Baby Bronson's recovery is a miracle and you need to tell his story. We have prayed for him and will continue to do so.
God bless you all!

I had a sick baby and couldn't go to church today. Instead, I felt the Spirit as I watched 'Bronson's Miracle'. Glad you are all home safely. We're still basking in the warmth of this touching miracle.
What a beautiful and touching video! I'm so grateful for Bronson's miraculous recovery and know that it was in answer to thousands of prayers. Thank you for telling all of us your story. Even though we are strangers, I feel a a great love and appreciation for your sweet family and your testimonies. God Bless You!

Sara, as I read your entry and watch the beautiful video, I am crying. This time, though, they are tears of joy, not sorrow. I am sure you can relate! I am so happy for you and your family, and for beautiful Baby Bronson. I wish I had the words to express how happy I am for you, and how grateful I am, first to God for His miraculous power, and to you, for allowing us to be a part of all that you went through. I truly admire your courage, bravery, strength, faith, commitment and honesty. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for sharing, and for reminding us of what is important. I am so happy for you and your family. I will continue to pray for a full recovery for Baby B, and for the health of all your family. All the best to you and yours! WELCOME HOME BRONSON! Rachel from Michigan!
Thank you for sharing this whole experience with us! We are so grateful that B is alive and well, and we are also grateful for the growth we've seen inside ourselves. Being touched by the spirit, wanting to be better and do better, we are so blessed to have been a part of this. We love you and thank you!
I've been following your blog since a friend of mine told me about it last week. Nothing but tears of joy here, amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You have such a sweet family.

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I have appreciated seeing and reading yoru story. You have been a big inspiration of faith to me and make me want to try a little harder to live the gospel a little better. I am so gald that Bronson is where he is today and to see this happy miracle for your family. The Lord does love us and he does answer our prayers. Thanks so much for sharing your sweet testimony with us through this blog. I thought I was having a rough time in my life but this had made me realize how much the little things don't really seem to matter. Thanks again and I hope that continue to see updates on her.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VALENTINE'S DAY JUST PERFECT NOW!! YOU THANK ALL OF US FOR THE PRAYERS AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR VERY SPECIAL LIFE!! I JUST LOVE THE VIDEO.. YOU HAVE SUCH TALENT! ANGELA CASSAVAUGH, LENOIR, NC
I found your blog through a friend of a friend about a week ago. I have kept Bronson and your whole family in my prayers. It is truly a miracle that he is doing so well. Thank you for sharing it with us so we can see God's hand providing miracles in the lives of others. May you all continue to do well.
Our family is snuggled in bed watching your amazing video. When it ended my 4 year old daughter asked to watch it AGAIN. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story with all of us. Your story is another testament that prayers are answered! We wish Bronson and the rest of your family the best of luck in the future.
Love,
The Dunaway's in Ohio
All I can say is YAY YAY YAY!!!! What a beautiful tribute to your family's struggles and joys. Thank you!

my tears of sadness for you have turned to so many tears of joy for you. absolutely amazing. God is so real.
Praise GOD, anything is possible thru HIM.
I am so happy for you and your family.
This video is so awesome! Thank you for letting us in to share in the pain and joy of this experience! We are so happy for your family and the miracle it has shown us all.
Thank you so much for sharing. We have a 22 month old and Bronson reminded us so much of our little boy. Bronson is such a cutie and I am so grateful and happy the Lord answered your prayers in such a miraculous way!!
What a beautiful story with a beautiful ending! Thank you for sharing this miraculous story with all of us! It's always nice to see the stories with the happy endings, showing God truly does answer prayers!
Every time I pray, I just keep thanking Heavenly Father for your beautiful miracle. So happy for you guys!
The video is spectacular. I just loved it. The Lord has truly shown his power through this wonderful little boy. Elder Packer once said "Christ is the Master Healer. What He creates, He can fix." I pray that the Master Healer will continue to bless your family and continue to heal Bronson's body and all of your hearts from this recent trauma. He can dampen the sting because He understands better than anyone what you've been through. "There is no extremity he hasn't visited, no sense of desperation that He has not felt." You guys are amazing. A very Happy Valentine's celebration, indeed. Congrats!
Amazing!! I love your little man!! And I am so blessed to have been a part of this!! I will continue to pray for you! Hope you are enjoying all your kids @ home!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Our family has been faithfully praying for you. We have a renewed faith in prayer and miracles. You have reminded me how fragile life is and helped me to slow down and love my little ones a little more. We are so greatful for your happily ever after.
I am so grateful for your awesome miracle. When I read your story, my heart just ached for your family. And our family began our prayers for yours. As I just watch your post I so happy and it brought me to tears. I am so grateful for Bronson's miracle. He is such a cutie.
I have chills and am all teary eyed! What a miracle boy!
Just when I thought your blog couldn't make me cry any more-but what happy tears! Thank you again for sharing your story with us. I have truly been blessed as a mother by your wonderful example of love and faith. I wish your family (little Bronson especially) all the best!
Love,

Man, I bawled reading the first few entries and I bawled watching the video just now, but this time they were happy tears. What a miracle!
I feel like I know you guys and I feel so blessed to have been able to be an outsider looking in on your life. Thank you for the video, I feel like it was an awesome ending to the story...though Bronson's story is just beginning! I am a different person after this experience and I thank you and my Heavenly Father for letting me be a part. All my love, Michelle Neff
That was just beautiful, I am so happy that you guys got a happy ending. He is such a happy and darling little guy, congratulations on getting to take him home. Yeah for modern day miracles!!
I am just so, so happy! We have been praying ever since we found out about Bronson. My little boys (2 &4), even last night, asked Jesus to heal Bronson. Praise God for full health and restoration! We watched the video together and my little guys were like "see mom, Jesus hears our prayers and now Bronson is better". I am so thankful that God showed Himself and His heart to my boys through this. And we are overjoyed that Bronson walked out of the hospital :) Love, The Ballantyne family (in Australia)
My goodness! That video was perfect and the tears were flowing. Thank you again for allowing us all to follow your story. The miracle of this all has strengthened my testimony ten fold! You are an amazing family and my heart is fully and I'm so happy and overjoyed for you all!!
What a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing this miracle with the world.
Thank you for that beautiful video.
Tonight my 23 month old prayed for a happy ever after! Congratulations on your happily ever after! God bless your family! :)
We have 3 small boys, you just gave us the gift of realizing just how much of little miracles children are. I will love mine a little tighter knowing just how fragile and unexpected life can be. I have a much deeper love for families like yours that will share there stories to the world. Thanks!!
