Tuesday:
Today Håkan had a follow-up visit with the eye doctor here in Uddevalla. The doctor checked Håkan’s right eye, after the eyelid operation at Sahlgrenska on the 21st of August. Håkan is seeing better with his right eye now, after all the help with drops and eye ointments. Thank you, Lord, and all competent staff!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, Håkan will travel down to Sahlgrenska for the left eyelid operation, so please pray for him tomorrow. He’ll be anaesthetized, but they reckon he will be able to come back to his unit here in Uddevalla the same day.
After the operation, Håkan will be bandaged again over the operated eye, and will probably have several follow-up visits, to make sure the operation has been successful.
Håkan had his second overnight leave, from Sunday to Monday. It was so nice to have him home. We were at Johanna and Daniel’s house for dinner, and both Amelie and Bella were with us. Fun for the grandchildren, Nova and Nicole, to have Grandpa at home again. After that, we went to the apartment for a pleasant evening at home with all the teenagers who are living at home. The hard part is that Håkan needs a lot of help, so I only get a few hours of sleep.
This past Saturday, Håkan’s siblings and their families came, so we picked up Håkan and drove to the salmon restaurant in Ljungskile. That was the first time in 7 months that Håkan ate out at a restaurant. Håkan appreciated the initiative. We drove by our beloved house, then continued on to the apartment, where we had coffee, before it was time to take Håkan back to the hospital.
As you understand, everything is moving in the right direction, so THANK YOU for all your love, all thoughts, and the prayers we’ve received during this time. We give God the glory for our lives, and we are happy for Håkan’s new suit of skin, which has healed well. This Sunday was the first day without bandages or some kind of protection on Håkan’s back.
“The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness.” Ps. 41:3
God bless you!
