Visit with Bronson

Last night we were able to go up to Primary Children's to visit with Matt and Sara. I was able to go in and see Bronson. I was not prepared for what I saw. The sight of him hooked up to all those tubes and wires caught me by surprise and had me reaching for the tissues. It was hard to see such a usually smiley, toddling, curious boy laying there so still. I had a good talk with Matt and he told me about everything the doctors were doing for Bronson. It was good to be able to give Matt and Sara both a big hug and tell them how much I love them and how much we love Bronson. I was thankful I could stroke Bronson's little foot and tell him how much I love him and how much I want him to keep fighting. Lots of people have been visiting and giving support to their family. It's wonderful to see how much they are loved and by so many wonderful people.

I got a little more info into the whole situation while talking to Matt. It turns out Bronson's heart was not beating when the paramedics got there. They did chest compressions on him for about 1/2 hour before they got a pulse. It's so scary to think of him being lifeless for that long. Some good news is that Sara said that yesterday when they were letting him come out of the sedation he had his eyes open and seemed to be following the voices of Matt and Sara. He also responded well when the family sang "Do As I'm Doing" to him on Sunday. It's his favorite Primary song and when they sing it he usually dances around the room. Other good news is that the fluid in his right lung is dissipating and hopefully will have emptied out by today.

They were supposed to start warming his body up late last night and into today. They will ease off the sedation today and check him again. Pray that he will have a good response! Matt was talking about how Bronson has become such a little fighter lately, not letting his older brothers have what he wants. :) I'm hoping this same fighting spirit will help him through this.

Sara has been trying to write up a blog post on her blog Stakerzxposed with all the details of what is going on. I think she is trying to post that some time today. Keep praying for him and their family!
