Angie or anyone who has a recent update on Linn's condition ? Have not heard anything recently. Please update if possible. Thanks

Linn is doing a bit better they tried to take him of the ventilator on Tuesday but that didn’t go well. He was trying to talk and stuff and he ask to be put back on it. They are going to close him up Monday and still aren’t sure if he needs any surgery on his hips or pelvic area. He responds to us when we talk to him. He smiles and shakes his head when we ask him questions. Today he closed his eyes while I was back there and I told him to open his eyes and stop teasing me like he usually does. He started to laugh/smile. He does struggle with sinus issues that could be an issue but we hope once they get his stomach closed things will be better. The neuro surgery department released him from their care this week also.

Thanks again to everyone for the gifts, cards and phone calls. You are the most supportive group of people.

People who aren't in drag racing don't always understand when we say that our racing friends are family, we might disagree now and then, but we are always there for each other.
Thanks for the update Angie.

I hope Linn makes a speedy recovery, sounds like he is progressing in his therapy. I was in the federal-mogul-stars in 2000 with Linn in S/ST, although i did not ever meet him, its tough when someone in our sport suffers a physical set-back like him. I hope he makes it through all of this.

I agree with you on Greg, raced with Lynn at some D3 races but also never met him. I wish him the best.

Monday they finished the surgery to close Linn's stomach. He did not require any surgery on his pelvic or hips. They are now working on trying to get him off the ventilator and off medication. They hope that happends sometime within the next week. Then he will be moved to a rehab center at OSU.

Angie:
Been down sick with brochitis the past week and a half.....glad to hear things are headed in the right direction and hope we can all start visiting real soon!! I will stop down to see your mom early next week if not before!! Call if you need anything!!

[Angie Webb]

Linn is doing better every day. He looks more like himself every day. He's now on a different machine that allows him to breath on his own but still helps him a bit. We are still
waiting to hear from the doctors about his pelvic area and what will need to be done. They do xray to check it and then give us up dates. Linn still responds to me when I try to wake him up. He shakes his head when I ask him questions.

He's getting better day by day.

Thanks

Jim I hope you are feeling better soon. Mom is still staying near the hospital so she's there most of the time.
