August 14th - The Morning Report!

Hello again...

It is so nice to be able to report Robert's continued progress - his body seems to stablize more every passing hour and he stays awake for longer periods of time to talk and joke with us and his nurses, what a gift as he preps for surgery.

I passed on your messages to him this morning and he was very grateful for them - thank you for blessing him with all your prayers and messages, we feel so fortunate to be part of such a big extended family with all of you.

Many of our prayer requests remain the same. As we near the surgery, our thoughts turn to the doctors and nurses which will perform the surgery. It is very complicated as it involves several teams coordinating to fix both his pelvis and his back. Let's unite in asking God for an outpouring of wisdom and skill in the doctors as they put Robert's body back together for full healing. We are told the surgery will take a minimum of 4 hours - perhaps that indicates the complexity of the whole deal. Prayer for protection of Robert's internal organs and nerves would be great as they are operating in a very delicate area which holds the all-important bladder, bowels, intestines and so on. We are praying life back into those orgrans which are currently lying dormant under the shock and swelling and for life in his right foot muscles are well.

Thanks for keeping up-to-date on Robert, we know your mighty prayers are moving mountains.

Thanks once again for the update Jen. As you share your prayer requests, one does get quite the picture of the seriousness of Robert's accident. We are continuing to pray for Robert (all your prayer requests) and for each of you. This must be so difficult to see him go through this. Remember, God is going to carry all of you through this...
You've got our love and prayers.

Hey Lavigne family......Glad to hear that Robert is doing a little better. He's at a great hospital and i'm sure his operation will go great. I work with him and was there when his accident happened, so I know first hand just how tough he is. Tell him I said hi & that the crew misses him and we all hope he has a speedy recovery.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
