We talked to Robert for a few minutes this evening. He sounded tired, is on a new pain medication and is not sure how well its working. He's working on getting used to his new surroundings and care givers .... a few more days and I'm guessing he'll have those nurses wrapped around his baby finger once again.
For anyone wanting to write a note or send a card, here's his mailing address:
Robert Lavigne (RM 9B-944)
c/o Vancouver General Hospital
899 12th Ave West
Vancouver, B.C.
V5Z 1M9
Keep praying for complete healing of Robert's body, and for God's peace to fill him and surround him. Pray for Tom and I as we travel to Vancouver tomorrow afternoon.
We continue to be thankful for all that God has done for Robert so far, for your faithful prayers, and for your encouraging words. May not one of you grow weary in the welldoing of being persistant in prayer.
I likely will not post a blog tomorrow as we won't be getting in Vancouver until very late and we won't see Robert until Monday morning. Until Monday then.
Chris

Hey Chris,it was so nice to see you in church again yesterday and to be able to give you a big hug! The way you and Tom are dealing with this whole horrible situation is a real inspiration to me (and I'm sure a whole lot of other people).
still tap,tap,tapping away,

Hi Chris, Tom and Robert
I can't tell you how many times a day you come to my mind and I stop for a moment and pray - I am actually learning to "pray on the run" - it is kind of weird and not necessarily recommended - my preference is a quiet place and quiet time but I also feel that God brings you to mind at other times for a reason - so I "seize the moment" - I have especially been praying for perseverance for all of you (not the same as praying for patience which always scares me..........) - Anyway - just wanted you to know that we are still with you and praying and that people at work are still asking daily about Robert. May God bless you with a safe trip, a place to stay, and rest and for Robert sleep, healing and encouragement. May you all catch glimpses of delight and joy in the small things each day as you go through this. :) Sandra & Ken
