Brianna honors Brock by winning girls 2006 district cross country title.
''I'm dedicating this whole season to him,'' Brianna said of her brother. ''It was very hard this past week. I haven't really gone to school, and I haven't really slept that well. But I did really good today, and I was happy.''

One Week Later
It has been one week since I have held my precious little gift in my arms. I rejoice knowing that he is in the Lords arms and loving every minute of it. I want everyone to know how thankful and grateful we are to have Brock Latham in our lives. He will forever change us...... I woke up today and thought what can I do to get closer to the Lord?
All this has made me want to do everything I can to see Brock again and the only way we will every see anyone again is if we walk, talk and become more like JESUS.. God has a purpose for all things. Brock was not placed in our care without a purpose. Our family did not do this without purpose. We will spend our days praising the Lord and thanking Him always.
Today we went to church as a family for the first time since March, we looked over and we saw some friends and in that moment we knew one of the many reasons why Brock was placed here for a very short time. We went to him after church and he shared with us something so precious...... He said when he came to Brock's service he felt GOD and he knew he needed to come back. He said when he came today he felt God again... WOW. Thank you Lord!!!!!!
Again, thank you all for the continued support and many prayers.
Please continue to pray for our family.

Hello to all our faithful friends. Brock is feeling better. Thank you Lord for being so faithful. He still is a little restless. He also now has a couple of sores on his ear and butt from the meds and edema.
On Sunday Kevin and I were going to send out an e-mail and update everyone on Brock's progress and then he came down with something. So here is the update with all the good stuff......
It will be one year since we came home from the hospital with Brock. As I sit here and reflect all that has happened this past year I feel so blessed. God is faithful God is good all the time......
Brock is growing and now weighs 37.5lbs. Last year when we left the hospital he weighed between 16-18lbs. He is very strong and does put up a fight when you mess with him. It really is amazing to watch him go from doing nothing last year at this time to moving all the time. From being so weak to being so strong. What can we say, God does hear our prayers and he is faithful. Brock also has learned how to squeeze a ball and when he squeezes it hard enough it makes music turn on. Our great friend and nurse Brandy watched Brock last night and she said she thought he was going to fall off the bed he was moving so much. Yeah!!!! She also said she thought he was going to wake up ..... We will thank you in advanced for waking and restoring Brock in Jesus name Amen.Thank you for all your prayers... We have felt them. Please keep pressing in.

---God's timing is not ours but it is the perfect time.
Habakkuk 2:1,3
I will climb up into my watchtower now and wait to see what the Lord will say to me and how he will answer my complaint. But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
Psalm 6:2-19
Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
Heal me, Lord, for my body is in agony.
I am sick at heart.
How long, O Lord, until you restore me?
Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
For in death, who remembers you?
Who can praise you from the grave?
I am worn out from sobbing.
Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping.
My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.

Prayer request for Brock and family:09-13-06
Brock has been very sick for a few days now. He has had a fever for three days and he is very dehydrated. If he does not tolerate his pedialyte today we will start him on IV fluids. He did rest well last night for the first time in two days. Thank you Lord for the much needed rest.
We ran some test on Brock last night and will do some more lab work today. As most of you know Kevin and I do all his lab work and take care of his daily needs. So, please pray for strength and wisdom for the both of us. Also, please lift Dr.Steadman up in prayer for wisdom and strength. One last thing the girls know that Brock has not been feeling well so please lift them up as well. Thank you.

Romans 8:3-32
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-- won't God, who gave us Christ , also give us all things?

05-08-06 update
Brock continues to do wonderful everyday. He does something new every week and is growing like a weed. He is 39inches tall and weighs 36lbs. Madison who is 5 almost 6 years old weighs the same and is 41inches tall. He has grown 6inches since last May. Praise the Lord!! He gets to go outside when the weather is nice and seems to enjoy it. This past Saturday he went skating with dad.
Thank you Lord for everything you do.....
Tomorrow is a very big day for the Latham family and we would like to invite you to be in prayer throughout your day for Brock. Brock will be turning 4 years old. And this time last year is when the doctors said no more treatment, take Brock home and love him. As I write this I find myself filled with so many emotions just knowing what one year has brought to our lives. Some good, some bad but most of all some wonderful moments. We have learned what the words wait, stand, love and patience truly mean. We have watched our family and friends grow in Christ along with our own growth. We have made many new and awesome friends along the way. We feel so very blessed that God has put each and everyone of you in our lives. As, I close I want everyone that reads this just to sit and reflect on your own year and what it has brought you. Remember God is soooo good and faithful. We look forward to what God has for our family. Just knowing He loves us and will be with us through every situation makes us feel so blessed to be His.
Here is a scripture that was given to me one year ago from a dear friend.
John 11:40 Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
