Håkan is newly operated again…

Thanks for all your prayers. The operation went well. This time it was Håkan’s left eyelid that they took care of. The skin was taken from behind his right ear. The doctors are fantastic! The eyelid will be closed for 10-15 days, and then they will operate on the right eye.

Now Håkan’s wounds are down to 10%, but much of the skin which has healed on its own is very thin and vulnerable. Everything has gone so quickly, but Håkan still has a long road ahead of him. Håkan is in good spirits. His faith and the spiritual life that babbles inside of him are his strength and his security.

On Tuesday, Håkan sat for several hours without the respirator. We thank God for every small step forward. We are so thankful for all support and all prayer that all of you are a part of. It warms our hearts and makes everything a little easier.

THANK GOD FOR ALL THE LOVE WE ARE RECEIVING…

Thanks for the hug in the parking lot – it warms our hearts…
Thanks for the beautiful bouquets – they mean so much…
Thanks for all the posts on the blog – they minister…
Thanks for the set of dishes for Håkan’s welcome-home dinner – I’m speechless…
Thanks for all the tearful eyes we meet – that’s concern…
Thanks for the cookies we received in Linköping – we were touched…
Thanks for all the cards and text messages – they mean so much…
Thanks for all the gifts – it wouldn’t have worked without you…

THANK GOD FOR ALL THE LOVE WE HAVE RECEIVED…

Here in Uddevalla, it’s been sunny and I’ve started working a little in the garden. I’ve put out the garden furniture, trampoline and swings, fixed the sandbox and play house. Now it’s easier to be there – we’ll need the garden this summer. There’s a lot to do since I didn’t have the energy earlier, but we’ll just have to take one thing at a time. Thanks, John – you came like an angel to the rescue today!

God bless you all!
Thanks for your support!
Hugs,
Gunilla
