Linn was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night with his 8 year old son Cole. They were both transported by air to hospitals in Columbus, Ohio. Cole was taken to Childrens to check out his condition he was released early in the morning on Sunday. He has some cuts and scraps but over all is ok. It is almost like a bubble was placed around him to keep him safe.

Linn on the other had was injuried badly. He had to have his spleen removed, his liver had damage and his diaphragm was crushed. He was unable to breath. They got him stable enough to fly him to OSU and did surgery right away. He also has a broken pelvic bone, his spin has some chips but will self heal and an injury to his brain. We are unsure if any other bones are broken as they are not life threating. Neither his brain or pelvic or back require surgery at this time. His stomach is still open as they have to go back in and "clean him up" check everything out and slowly they will put his stomach back together. He is not awake but can be with some help from the nurses and team of doctors. He does follow commands when they do this. The part of his brain that is damaged is the part that moves your arms and legs and currently he does do that with some control. Which is promising.

He is to have a second surgery today at 1pm.

If you wish to send cards you can do so at
