Brock at Meek Children's Hospital PICU

09/26/05 Mon.- Brock is on the ventilator through a trak. He enjoys his mouth and nose being free from all tubes. Hopefully, Brock will be going home this week, with the trak/ventilator helping him breathe.

Yes! Jesus loves me. Yes! Jesus loves me. Yes! Jesus loves me.

09/23/05 Fri.- A trak and feeding button was successfully put into Brock at 6:30PM.
09/20/05 Tues.- The ventilator has been removed 9AM. At 12PM his CO2 was 66 at 2PM it was 71. Normal CO2 is 40-53. At 5PM, his CO2 went down to 58. Back on the ventilator at 7PM.
09/18/05 Sun.- Brock is breathing 21 out of 24 hours on his own! He is not on any sedatives and his IV has been taken out. The vent will be taken out as well by Tuesday (Lord willing) and we'll be home bound by this coming weekend. Thank you Jesus for healing Brock. Brock is smiling more and more everyday. He likes to show his teeth and stick his tongue out.
09/13/05 Tues.- From 9AM-3PM Brock was off the ventilator, on his own. He did great! His heart beat did go up, but slowing settled to normal. Way to go little man! We are thankful for every minute, all the while we continue to petition God for Brock's healing. Several came again to pray for Brock and sing.
09/10/05 Sat. - Brock breathed own his own two times, 45 minutes each today, without the ventilator. His CO2 levels are great. We continue to petition the Lord for complete healing.
09/08-09/09 - Brock breathed three times for 30 minutes each on his own these two days without the ventilator.

09/07/05 Wed. - Even though uncomfortable with the ventilator, Brock slept most of the day and his CO2 level remains normal. Several friends and family came today to sing and pray over Brock. 09/06-05, Tues. - Brock is resting a lot and his blood gases (CO2 levels)are great. The ventilator has been lowered so Brock can breathe over it and gain more strength.
09/04/2005, Sun. - This morning Brock stopped breathing on his own. His CO2 level went up passed 140. Currently (12:30PM), he is on the bag and possibly on the ventilator, later. Kevin and Barb have chosen the ventilator. Tonight, on the ventilator, the CO2 level in his lungs are back to normal.
09/02-09/03/2005 -Brock breathed on his own and his CO2 stayed normal these two days.
09/01/2005, Thurs. - The ventilator has been removed!! Brock is breathing on his own as of 9:50AM. The plan is to watch his progress and go home.
08/30/2005, Tues.- Brock is now at Meek Children in Abilene. This morning his blood gas (CO2) was 123. So, he was put on a breathing ventilator. Since the ventilator, he went to 22. The plan is to stay at Meek and slowly wean him off the ventilator and go home Friday.
08/29/2005, Mon- Brock's blood gas(Co2 level) this morning is 69. It needs to be below 50. At noon it was 53. Looks like another night at Regional is probable.
Pray that Jesus would stretch out His hand in mercy and touch Brock in miracle working power and make wrong things right.
8/28/2005, Sunday- Brock is still in Abilene Regional. We were just told he would be spending tonight there as well.........
8/27/2005, Sat- Brock is back in Abilene Regional Hospital .......they will be keeping him under observation tonight ...... Please continue to lift Brock and his family up in prayer (for COMPLETE healing and comfort).

Glory to God!

Hey Kevin and Barb, Just wanted to let you know we are still praying and last night as we sat down to eat supper Mattie wanted to bless the food. She blessed the food and at the end she said."Dear Lord pweas let baby brocks heart not never stop beeping again I want to pway with him." I not only believe our prayers are being heard but the POWER of prayer that comes from our babies are so wonderful and honest. Encourage prayer from our little ones. We Love Ya!!

"Lord, we know you are in control! Brock is in Your hands, the same hands that created EVERYTHING that is in existance. Hold Kevin and Barb in Your arms for comfort. Lean them Your understanding and wisdom. Bring Brock to a complete and total healing. Sing over him while he's sleeping. Speak to his spirit, let him know that You are there. Show Brock Your favor and Your mercy, Lord. Thank you Father! AMEN!".

Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah went to visit him. He gave the king this message: "This is what the Lord says: set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness."
When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, "Remember, O Lord, how I have always tried to be faithful to you and do what is pleasing in your sight." Then he broke down and wept bitterly.
Then this message came to Isaiah from the Lord: "Go back and tell Hezekiah, This is what the Lord has said: I have heard your prayers and seen your tears. I will add 15 yrs to your life, and I will rescue you" Isaiah 38:1-6
Even at the point of death God and heal just like that!!!!!
Given to Barbara and Kevin on Tuesday from one of our friends who is a wonderful Christian women who was praying for Brock

Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of the sheep, you gather the lambs in your arms and carry them in your bosom: We command to your loving care this child BROCK. Relieve his pain, guard him from all danger, restore to him your gifts of gladness and strength, and raise him up to a life of service to you. Hear us, we pray, for your dear Name's sake...Amen

We have only met once, but I wanted to let you know that your family has been in my prayers. We have been through some struggles of our own with a child. But God has been good to us and I truely believe he has a reason for everything. We prayed, pleaded and begged for God to heal our little boy, and for His reasons He chose not to, but We have a great peace knowing the our little angel isn't suffering and is resting in the arms of His Father! I pray for Brock and for miracles to happen! What God Wills! God Bless you and your family!
