Steve is out of surgery but will be in recovery for longer than they anticipated s. The surgery was successful but the doctor said it was way worse than the MRI showed. The knee was falling apart! -from Jacey

Steve just went into surgery. He should be out around noon. Currently the plan is for him to stay overnight and he’ll have two physical therapy sessions tomorrow and if all goes well, he can be discharged sometime around 3 o’clock tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers! – from Jacey

Hey friends, Thank you for all the support and prayers.
We came home from the ER last night with some good news and bad news.
> The good news is the CT scan came back clear of any major things so that eliminates tumors, bleeding, fluid or swelling.
> The bad news is they did identify what they call “mildly dysmorphic frontal horns of both lateral ventricles of the brain”.
We have an EEG and MRI scheduled for June 26th to get more information before moving forward with treatment.
We are doing ok and Rowan is doing well except he had a seizure-like episode again today, and after having his eyes checked, it appears his vision loss is not an eyesight issue but is due to the underlying neurological condition.
Please continue to pray for us and him as it is clear we have a long journey ahead.
We will keep sending updates as we get them.
Thank you all. – Austin and Angela

Hey CCF family , We are at the ER this AM with our baby boy Rowan. He will be one year old on Tuesday. He is having seizures yesterday and today, and lost most of his eyesight – among other symptoms- pointing towards an underlying neurological issue. We are hoping and praying for CT and/or MRI soon. Please pray for us and especially for him. We will continue to send updates as we receive them. If you would like to reach out, please contact Austin at 903-707-5848. Austin & Angela Roberts
