SENDY AND INFANT GRACE

As most of you know I was in the process of trying to find a place for Sendy to have her surgery here in the U.S. We were unsuccessful so far. I just received an update from Chris who runs His Home orphanage where Sendy lives. They have an opportunity for 3 of their children with Hydrocephaly to possibly have surgery in Haiti. They will be taking the three children this week for evaluation and training on how to care for them post op. This service is being provided by surgeons from Miami. Please pray that they are accepted. This would be a huge praise and I am so thankful to hear that opportunities are starting to come to Haiti for them.
I had posted a story about infant Grace Hope a few days ago. She is going to be staying at His Home as well. I received an update on her that she is still in the hospital but doing better and eating well. She will be released from the hospital in a week or two. I cant imagine what it would be like to feel like your only option is to throw your infant in the trash. It just breaks my heart for the people of Haiti to see their life choices. I am praying that she will survive and that we can find a hospital to do surgery on her feet in the future. We might have a lead for this here in Indiana at some point.
I will be going to Haiti again soon. I am currently getting the medications around for our clinic, it is a little stressful but God has provided everything we have needed so far and I am confident He will again. I want to visit with Sendy and Grace when I am there as well as all the other children. There is so much to do when we are there and the time flys by.
Shnaider is doing great. The shunt seems to be working fine right now. He is a busy normal two year old. We have had a few families show some intrest in adopting him and we are hopeful that the right family will come.
Nick has been doing better at school the last few days. Still a little rough but he has been able to stay in the classroom almost the entire day if not the whole day. He still is not overly fond of Shnaider but he is doing pretty good with him. We are seeing some professionals for counseling and other options to help him right now which we have not had to do in the past. As he gets older and new and harder challenges arise it is all a learning process. Pray we and the school make the right decisions on how best to help him.
Jer is doing awesome!!
Tom and I start our new job hours Sunday. It will be an adjustment but I think a great one for our family.
Praying hard all the time,
Steph
