The decision has been made. After a very long, agonizing week of deliberation and prayer as well as research, I have decided that Lynn will be transferred to South Davis Hospital on Monday. In the last blog I mentioned the insurance issue. I hadn't heard back from Heritage and Educator's Mutual who were in negotiations, but I decided that South Davis is better prepared to work with brain injuries. I mentioned that I only have 60 days of long term care coverage, so I feel like we need to be as aggressive as possible in trying to bring Lynn out of his coma. South Davis couldn't guarantee anything of course, but it is what they work with all the time. I will not be working during that time so I can devote my time to augmenting whatever the therapists do to help Lynn. Today I started music therapy with him by plugging earbuds in his ears and playing music on an IPOD. So far it wasn't effective, but we will keep plugging away at it. I appreciate all the prayers on our behalf. I know a lot of you follow this blog. Feel free to post comments, I like reading them but we haven't had any for a while. They really do lift my spirits.

Thanks, I've tried and just thought I didn't know how to use it, I'm so sorry for what you are going through Tina, I hope and pray that he comes around very soon, and don't stop the music therapy, I've heard good things about it, even if it doesn't work immediately he is still receiving good things from it. Love and miss you,if you need me just let me know.

Tina,
We just found out about Lynn, and have checked this blog daily ever since. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Glad to hear the transfer went well and hope it continues to go that way. Love, Melissa Layne Bates---former 17th ward member---
Tina we are glad to hear things went well today...I know this has been very hard on you and we wish we could be there more, Neil wants to be there more I know...we always read what you write. Love, Neil, Haley, Nicki, Evan and Cy Kraaima!
Hi Tina, I saw in church today and I am amazed at your strength. I can not even imagine what you are going through, but reading the blog there are a whole lot of people who love you and Lynn in their prayers and hearts. Please let Roy and I know if there is anyway we can help. We pray he wakes up soon. I want to try and print the blog and transfer some comments from it for Joshua. We have let him know about Lynn and try to keep him updated on his progress. He is surely missed in the ward and I keep remembering that last fast Sunday that he bore his testimony about what he had been going through. It is so good that he did that. Please keep the faith and know you are loved. Sheryl and Roy
