Pray for Bronson


On Saturday our little nephew Bronson drowned in the bathtub. His mother kept his heart beating until the paramedics arrived. When he arrived at Utah Valley Hospital he had a heartbeat but showed no brain activity. He was life flighted to Primary Children's Hospital shortly after arriving at Utah Valley. The doctors have been doing everything they can to keep him alive. He is now in an induced coma state where they are keeping his body temperature down and keeping him heavily sedated hoping to let his body and brain become stronger. Today he showed promising signs of body twitching, his eyes moving and he was responding to pressure on his body. They put him back under sedation in hopes to keep him from moving too much and injuring himself. We have been praying nonstop for little Bronson, the doctors, his parents and brothers. Bronson is the sweetest little guy, always happy and smiling. He is such a sweet blessing in our family. Thank you for all the love and support so many have been giving them through this ordeal. Our hearts are with Matt, Sara and Bronson. We love them so much! We are hoping for more good news tomorrow. Please add your prayers to help this sweet little boy and his family.

Oh-we are praying so hard for him. Thank you for posting that. Is there anything I can do from where I am? Could I take anything to them or do anything at all?

Mauri, that was such a great blog on Bronson today. I have talked with Larry, but it is so nice to have things in writing. We are all pretty involved in this little episode and want to keep informed. Thanks for all you do and blog about, you are so great. By the way, I noticed that you read a book by Lisa Wingate. We read one in book club by her, "Tending Roses" thought you might like it. Be sure to let us know if we can be doing something besides praying for this little guy. Aunt Linda
