On Friday, Håkan was a little tired, but very pleased with the Thursday evening in Gothenburg, when a group of pastors and their wives met. It was Håkan’s first get-together with a larger group of friends. As you surely understand, it was a little emotional for both Håkan and the friends who haven’t seen Håkan in 7 months.
On Friday, Håkan went down to Sahlgrenska to get his eyelids checked and take off the bandages around his eye. Håkan will see the eye doctor here in Uddevalla on Tuesday, and will go back to Sahlgrenska again on the 20th of October, so continue to pray for his eyes. It’s moving in the right direction.
In the afternoon, Gertrud and Kiell came on the train from Uppland to visit Håkan at the hospital. We took Håkan out, drove by the house to show them what is happening there, before buying Thai food, which we all ate at home in the apartment before our friends took the train on to Gothenburg. We are so thankful to God for all our friends who are supporting us in different ways. Thank you, everyone!
Mats and Sarah were going to visit Håkan at the hospital with their children, Lisa and Erik, but we called and they came home to us instead, and the Thai food was enough for the Samuelson family as well. After that it was time to take Håkan back to the hospital again.
On Saturday, Håkan’s brother, P-G, came and took us both out for pizza. We had a nice time together, which concluded at Johanna and Daniel’s, where we were served coffee and icecream. Håkan slept at home in the apartment, from Saturday to Sunday.
In the evening, our Mohammed came home to watch football with daddy Håkan. It was a nice evening at home, even though Sweden didn’t win. Håkan hasn’t been up so late in 7 months, so he went straight to bed after football. Mohammed slept on the sofa in the same room so I could sleep the whole night.
On Sunday morning, a home health nurse came and gave Håkan a shot, and helped with the sores on his forehead. We ate breakfast, my husband and I. What a feeling, to be able to sit and eat breakfast together again. We don’t take anything for granted anymore. We are thankful for every little detail, which is a partial victory for us. It feels like going from death to life, where life has gained victory over death, and every little act of life is worth rejoicing over. “Thank the Lord!”
On Sunday afternoon, Anita had a dinner for everyone who had helped make it possible for her biography to come out. Imagine that Håkan managed to be present at that dinner. That was the first time Håkan met such a large part of our congregation at the same time. Good food and good fellowship. Håkan was really pleased with yet another partial victory. Afterwards, we went straight back to the hospital.
Pray for the care planning meeting on Monday, the eye examination on Tuesday, hand surgery on Wednesday in Gothenburg.
Found an old prophetic word from Roger Larsson, dated the 25th of August, 1999:
”Step forward and stand still and see the great wonder that the Lord will do before your eyes.”
Yes, of course, we have seen wonders! Thank you, Jesus, for all the wonders we have seen!
God bless you all!
Hugs,
Gunilla
