Linn Bebout was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night

[Angie Webb]

Linn was taken off the ventilator yesterday. He does still struggle at times to breath but is stable. He attempts to talk but his voice is still gone. He did get to see his two boys yesterday which made them very happy. It has been four weeks and for the boys that is a very long time.

I will keep you posted on what happends next. We hope he can be moved to a room soon and that people can visit soon. He will need that once he can talk. Thanks again for the support.

Glad to hear things are improving even more! Bet Linn was as excited as the boys! That is GREAT medicine in itself!!

Thanks for the update Angie, good to hear Linn is breathing on his own.
Just keep getting a little better each day

Wow...It sounds like Linn is out of the woods...thank God. Its nice to hear some good news on this topic.

Please let Linn know we're all thinking about him. Maybe if things continue to go well he'll be home by X-mas (probably the best X-mas present he could ever ask for)...

Linn and I had a conversation today and he was aware of everything we spoke about. He has a long haul but I feel good after the last couple of days.

Thanks for the cards and prayers. I would like to start BSing about racing again !!

Angie,

Thanks for the updates......even though we don't always ask how he's doing, he certainly is constantly in our thoughts!!! It's great to hear good news!

Linn was moved last Monday to Dodd Rehabilation Center at OSU hospital. They are now working on trying to get his brain and body to work together. Today he actually looked like himself. He smiled and responded to us in his usual way. He so badly wants the strength to pick up Zoe and his boys. He has lost close to 50 pounds. They still aren't allowing him to eat. They still feed him in with a tube. He has yet to get his voice back but he whispers. They gave us a release from the hospital date of January 3. At that point he will go home and require 24 hours care from our family and friends. He will not be allowed to put any weight on his left leg till early Feb. They are still trying to figure out what the issues will be from his brain injury. The doctor says he thinks he will over come everything with time, we hope that is true.

He ask to watch a movie today which was great because he is usually so tired and his attention span isn't very long. My Dad took him up to the computer they have for the patients and he watched video of his race car on Racing Junk. He ask if Davey won the Pro Stock Championship, this is old news to us that Jeg did, but he was still out of it when that happened. When things like that come up it makes us realize how long he hasn't had contact with the world.

My parents ask him if he wanted anything special this year for Christmas he said "I want my health back."

The cards, prayers, phone calls are all much appericated. Thanks so much for your support. Each day a new batch of cards come and he loves knowing that you care about him.

Thank you for letting the rest of the "family" know how Linn is doing. Each day shows a step further on his path to complete recovery. The fact that he has goals in mind, to pick up Zoe and hug his sons shows his determination.
Praise God for the healing that he has had and a prayer to continue His healing grace for Linn and a prayer that you and your family have comfort, strength and peace also.
