April Update on Steven


Dear Friends,

We are in the beginning of month 4 of Steven being in treatment. Though it is taking time, we see God working in his heart and mind as he overcomes challenges not only of the abuse and neglect that he endured as a child, but the brain injuries occurred during utero and most likely from physical abuse as well. It has been determined that a large portion of Steven’s issues are due to organic concerns with his brain. That means that we are probably seeing the effects of the birthmother’s drinking on his development now that he is older. He is doing very well in this treatment program and they have hope that he will be able to get to a point of functioning. He is halfway through the program and has done very well in school there. His grades have come up significantly as well. The unfortunate part is that he will live with this “brain injury” from birth for the rest of his life and eventually will need support services. We are in a time of beginning to plan for his future and what that holds. It is overwhelming at times and we have gone through periods of grief as we have been on this journey and learn more from their observations and care for our son.

We thank all of you for continuing to pray. We also know that many of you have given sacrificially in the beginning. We need your help in getting the word out to others who might be able to help continue to scholarship this healing process.   We are still raising funds for Steven’s treatment as it is $200 a day after the first 2 months. Please keep us in mind as you think about helping others. Here is a link to our online, safe, giving website. Mostly, keep us in your prayers as our family endures this journey of healing!  God is good all the time! He will provide, we know!

Russ, Lisa, Jason and Steven Rose
