Surprise after surprise!

Much has happened, with and around Håkan. The doctor who decided to let Håkan have a chance and sent him to Linköping in a helicopter, came and visited Håkan. It was a time full of thanksgiving, for the right decision and that everything has gone so well.

Håkan was down at Sahlgrenska, and got the stitches taken out from around his eye. It’s healing so well. I got to go along in the ambulance. It felt strange. It was, of course, the first time for me since the fire. Håkan has ridden in an ambulance many times now, so he is used to it. Tomorrow he’ll go down again for a follow-up visit.

The eye doctor in Uddevalla has looked at the left eye and they have decided to operate on the left eyelid, the same way they operated on the right one, which is healing very well now.

Hannah and Eliyahu, old friends of ours from Jerusalem, who we have known for over 20 years, came to visit Håkan. They have followed our journey via the blog. What a surprise for us, to get a prayer and blessing from Jerusalem.

I went in to Håkan and told him that some old friends were there to see him. You should have seen the look on his face – it was priceless. He couldn’t believe his eyes. We didn’t know they were in the country. That was a happy surprise. We are welcome to visit our friends when Håkan is well again.

The best thing that has happened lately is that Håkan walks on his own, without the walker, and can even raise himself up from a chair. All we can do is thank God for all the help Håkan is getting and the strong motivation he has to fully recover!

“Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done… Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done…” Ps. 105:1, 4-5

Life is full of surprises! Thank God for life!

God bless you!

Thank you for all support and prayers!

Hugs,
Gunilla

  1. Dear Gunilla,
    God was really with us and working for us that day when the doctor decided to give Hakan a chance! Thank you, Lord, for guiding our doctors! It is encouraging to hear about Hakan's strong motivation to recover. That has been one of our prayers. We pray for strength and endurance for you both as well as continued miraculous healing -- better than the doctors expect!!

    We love you both and miss you, too!
