Good morning, everybody. Sorry I didn't get to post anything last night.After coming to the conclusion that we were not going anywhere yesterday we got word at 3 in the afternoon that Robert was to be transported in one hour. He was picked up and taken to the airport and flown to Vacouver, then admitted to the spinal cord unit of VGH. Meanwhile, I loaded up the Matrix and drove back to PG, arriving after midnight sometime. Thanks to all those who prayed for safe travels for the two of us.
A big thanks to my sister Jan and brotherinlaw Phil for being the welcoming committee in Vancouver, and helping Robert to get settled into his new surroundings. Now he has to go through the process of everyone there getting familiar with his profile (he comes with a thick binder and a CD). And Robert has to get to know all the caregivers who will be in and out of his life for the next many weeks. Pray that the transition goes smoothly and that God gives wisdom to all people in charge of his care.
Tom and I are driving to Vancouver tomorrow afternoon, but won't see Robert until Monday. Tom will help me to get settled into a hotel in the general area of the hospital, and also have the chance to see for himself where Robert is. This should help to give him a little peace of mind as we begin the next phase of Robert's recovery. Again, I'm so thankful for my family members who are willing to spend time with Robert while we can't be there.
At this time, I'd like to thank Ray and Julie Benterud for giving us our home away from home while we were in Edmonton. Your kindness is appreciated more than you can ever know.
I will post Robert's room number and address later today for anybody who wants to send a card or drop by for a visit.
Looking forward to a day of rest at home, thanking you for your continued prayers,
Chris

Tom and Chris, I am praising God for the safety of both Robert and Chris in their travels.I will continue to pray that the doctors have a God given widom in dealing with Roberts condition. I also pray for all the staff that they will be sensitive to the spirits leading as they work with Robert. I pray for safety for you Tom and Chris as you travel to Vancouver and that Chris can have a restful sleep while at home. Thank you for continuing to keep us informed and the updated prayer requests. You can let Robert know that Will is engaged (a surprise to us all),to a very nice youg lady.
Continued Blessings on you all.The Cassidy's
Robert, we are praying for you, and we hope you are getting settled in.
Just a note to let you all know that you are ever in our prayers. Even tho the guys are dissappointed about not getting to visit you Robert we are sure that God knows best and that you are where you should be for continued healing. Praying for you all! May God give you perfect peace! Lots of love and prayers, the Gilmores. We have a parcel to send to you whenever we find out where to send it.
