Anyone hear how he is doing?

I've been concerned, as well.

Has anyone gotten any updates on Lyn's condition? I shudder every time I hear the death toll has risen due to this horrible situation. Prayers for everyone who's been so unfortunate to have been touched by it.

I spoke with Lyn last evening. Day 16 in the hospital. He developed sensitivity to Amphotericin B, the first line drug for Aspergillus, so he is receiving Posaconazole which is not as effective. He is ambulating a little but he is weak and having some dizzy spells along with the headache associated with meningitis. His appetite is poor but he is resting better. 3 steps forward and 2 back. I am certain his spirits are better today after the Tigers' win over the A's to move on to the second round. He and Penny certainly appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and well wishes.
Thanks, Ty

I'm so sorry to hear this! Always enjoyed racing with Lyn, and even better, had the opportunity to interview him for several major wins. He will be missed.
