3:30AM/ 01-18-06:Thank you all for always being so supportive to our needs. I am so sorry I could not go into details earlier. We do believe that God calls us to depend on HIM first. Believe me we felt the need to hear a familiar voice, a supportive friend, or even just someone to comfort us. But that was not God's plan for us today. He wanted our attention and He wanted to comfort us Himself. You know that when you try to do things or figure things out yourself things just do not flow like they do when you surrender it all to HIM.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.. Even in the storm, God is good!!!

I guess now that I have rattled on I will get to what happened today.......... It started out a wonderful day and ended just as wonderful. Around 11am Brock spit up his breakfast and then his O2 sats went really low, we tried for a few hours to get them back up with no luck. Then finally around 2pm they went into a normal range. Around 2:30, he then spit up again 2 more times. This time we tried everything to get his O2 sats up and we were unable too. His O2 sats were dangerously low but nothing could be done medically. You see we had him on as much oxygen that the tanks could deliver 10L per minute. Which is very high. So we prayed and waited. Around 10:30PM his O2 sats moved into a normal range. Praise the Lord!!

We now know that Brock has the stomach bug. When he threw up he aspirated some of it causing his O2 sats to go down. At this time no one else in the house has the bug.

We are very careful with people coming in and out but now we need to be even more. We enjoy all visitors but ask that if you have been sick or have been around someone that has been sick, please just call or e-mail us. We do love phone calls and love to read e-mails. And as always love to see people just remember Brock doesn't need a bug...

Please continue to pray for our family and seek God for how to pray for us. Thank you for all the support and may God Bless You.

Still Standing On GOD'S Promises,
The Latham Family

Such glory to God! Your family is such powerful witness and example of true faith. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Last week at our Woodson Team KID group we had the children list people who are faithful and truly try to follow God's will. It was precious to see Brock's name written in little elementary handwriting on several of the lists. You are truly a testimony to our Savior.

You and I are on a great climb. The wall is high, and the stakes are
higher.

You took your first step the day you confessed Christ as the Son of
God. He gave you his harness—the Holy Spirit. In your hands he placed
a rope—his Word.

Your first steps were confident and strong, but with the journey came
weariness, and with the height came fear. You lost your footing. You
lost your focus. You lost your grip, and you fell. For a moment,
which seemed like forever, you tumbled wildly. Out of control. Out of
self-control. Disoriented. Dislodged. Falling.

But then the rope tightened, and the tumble ceased. You hung in the
harness and found it to be strong. You grasped the rope and found it
to be true. You looked at your guide and found Jesus securing your
soul. With a sheepish confession, you smiled at him and he smiled at
you, and the journey resumed.

Now you are wiser. You have learned to go slowly. You are careful.
You are cautious, but you are also confident. You trust the rope. You
rely on the harness. And though you can’t see your guide, you know
him. You know he is strong. You know he is able to keep you from
falling.

And you know you are only a few more steps from the top. So whatever
you do, don’t quit. Though your falls are great, his strength is
greater. You will make it. You will see the summit. You will stand at
the top. And when you get there, the first thing you’ll do is join
with all the others who have made the climb and sing this verse:

“To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you
before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the
only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
Amen” (Jude 24 NIV).
