Håkan's first visit

Håkan is still sedated och breathing on a respirator. He will most likely be sedated for a long time, because of the operations and to relieve the pain. The burns, both 2nd and 3rd degree, cover 70-80% of his body. All his organs are okay, but shock and inflammation are affecting the whole body.

Today some of the family was allowed to visit Håkan: the oldest children and his brother and sister, together with Pastor Janne Sääf and Dave Richards. They sang and prayed for him.

The doctor, nurse and social worker were very capable and accommodating. He is in the hands of the absolute best staff in the country. Thank God for the fine and gifted staff.

- The doctor said that he didn’t believe they could save Håkan when he came in, but he was pleasantly surprised how well the first week has gone.
- They believe the eyes are undamaged.
- His beard is growing, which is good because the hair follicles produce new skin.
- There are areas with undamaged skin which can be used for cultivation and transplantation.

This week there won’t be any operations so that Håkan’s body can rest.

- Pray that the swelling goes down.
- Pray that no shock or inflammation come back.
- Pray that the "crp" level continues to go down.
- Pray that the lungs continue to be healthy.
- Pray for the cultivation of skin from Håkan which will be used for transplanting.

The visitors left a CD-player with music the kids had recorded, along with a CD with Bible verses on it, which the staff will play for him.

AT THIS POINT, ONLY THE FAMILY HAS PERMISSION TO VISIT HÅKAN.

Let us gather together in prayer around Håkan and the family!

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust. Ps 91:1-2
