New plans!
Today has been a very stressful and emotional day. It looks as though we have reached the end of our rope in terms of options for Bridger's medical treatment. Today Danny and I have actively made our request to have Bridger reviewed as a candidate for heart/lung transplant. We have chosen Lucille Packard @ Stanford in California. The head surgeon there was the one who performed the first successful heart/lung transplant in 1985. This is also the closest location for Danny to get to us in case of emergency and the Ronald Mcdonald house there had a specific wing for us to live after the transplant. This is a big decision for us, but we feel that our beautiful son had not yet told us that he is ready for us to just take him home and let him die, so we are going to give him this opportunity to hopefully do the things that babies and toddlers should be able to do. Our paperwork is being submitted and if Bridger is a candidate he and I will be moving to California in the very near future. Please keep your thoughts and prayers with our sweet little man.

Staci, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, if we can do anything just let us know. Grace and Tom
Oh you sweet thing. We will pray for you and your beautiful sweet little man. He just pulls at my heart strings. I Do know the emotions of what you are feeling and if you ever need to talk please please feel free to call me or email me. my email is hilarymcook@gmail.com. I need to come up to the hospital either tomorrow or thursday and I would love to see you and Bridger. Let me know if that would work for you. Sending all of my faith and prayers. I know that Miracles do happen! Hang in there!
Oh, I wish we could see you. I stay away because of my "germ factories" (my kids) but know that we still love you and think about you.
I think this course of action sounds like a huge step, but something that might give Bridger a chance at a normal life. We love you so much and think about you often. I will miss you even more, but it sounds like this is the next needed adventure. Thanks for keeping us updated. I've enjoyed seeing and talking to Danny on Tuesday nights at softball. Not the same as seeing and talking with you Staci, but it's still nice.
Hang in there. I can only imagine how stressful this decision is for you but you will do the right thing. You always do. You are the mother of the year. Keep up the good work.
Good luck with this next step for your sweet son. We will keep the good thoughts and prayers coming!
Hugs & Prayers,

We are all praying for your little family every day. This little guy is such a joy, and we are all so lucky to have him in our lives! We are confident in yours and Danny's decision to go forward with the transplant. He is such a fighter, and we believe he still wants to play too! You guys have been through so much, and are bracing for more, but we know you are strong, and can get through it! please know we are always thinking and praying for you all, and if you guys need any help don't hesitate to ask. Love always, Heather, Brandon, and Kids!
Wow! Bridger is so lucky to have such wonderful parents who are willing to sacrifice everything and fight for him! He's a little fighter himself and I pray for you guys and for a healthy future for Bridger! You're amazing and strong! Best of luck!
I wish your family the best of luck!!!
