Tim Lindberg

Hi Everyone,

Many people from Tim's church have stopped by the hospital to pray and sing with him. I keep missing them so I'll post information about him and his condition here.

Here's the story, as told to me by Rosemary and Sam, two of Tim's good friends from work:

On Monday, 1/31/05, Timmy came back from lunch complaining of shortness of breath. He left the office to go home or to the hospital, but was unable to get his keys in the ignition. He set off his car alarm and someone from the office came out to help him and called 911.

Tim was unable to talk when he got to the hospital, but was able to respond to Rosemary's questions by squeezing her hand and shaking his head. As far as I know, this is the last time he has responded to questions.

He is currently in Pomona Valley Medical Center, room 292.

He had a massive brain hemorrhage in his left basal ganglia. He is in a coma and has pneumonia. According to the neurologist that has seen Timmy and the CAT scans, if he survives, he will be permanently impaired. He also said that Tim's prognosis was poor, but was unclear as to what, exactly, that means.

I think that the doctors really don't know what to do, yet, and am hoping that I will be able to get more information today.

Timmy has responded with some movement when Ken (the other brother) or I have said something. I say some movement, because it hasn't happened very often and all he does is shift his body.

Please pray for the following:

• Pray that Timmy will be healed
• Pray that God will give Tim his peace that transcends understanding
• Pray for Ken, Suzanne (sister), and me, Mark

I am going to put a book at the foot of Timmy's bed that people can sign and leave a message. If you stop by, please sign it.

I'll post more info whenever I can.
