Captain could we set up a Lindsey Fund to help the family? CAP and me persoanlly would be happy to chip in.
So sorry to hear that Lindsey is having such difficulties. As a Lupus patient myself, I know the difficulties of fighting any illness, much less a major one as this. Lots of prayers will continue for Lindsey and her family.
Professor….I’m with you on that, great idea.
Captain, also check the local Lupus Foundation, they often help families thru these difficulties, both financially and whatever else they can. May is National Lupus Awareness month.Hey Friends,
Thank you Lou very much for suggesting a Lindsey fund. Patty Melissa, and I are donating $700.00 to Lindsey Mom Bobbie. For those here that would like to donate funds please make the check payable to Bobbie Harmon and mail to Allan Leonard 21085 Blacksmith Trl Bristol, VA 24202. Please help if you can so that Bobbie can be able to travel back to Nashville to be with Lindsey. Thank you all for your continued prayers.Could you set up a paypal account for us foreigners – I would really like to contribute and this is the easiest way for me
Hi Alex,
I would prefer checks payable to Bobbie Harmon, but for those that prefer to send donations by PayPal, my account is Patallanleonard@aol.com. Thank you very much for your continued prayers and Lindsey’s support. Also for those that have pm me with donations thank you very much.Tarzan was talking to Jane about this and Jane and we would like the appropriate powers at CAP to convert Tarzan’s “interesting thread” gift certificate to Lindsey – and if that won’t help, if it could be converted to cash that would be awesome. Is that possible?
But she could get some audio books in there for her from Amazon… Please Captain, tell her Jane sends her love and that we are thinking and praying for her.
Cheers friend.
Hey Tarzan and Jane,
I will pass this on to Lindsey as soon as I see her again.Update: Lindsey is still in the intensive care burn unit at Vanderbuilt in Nashville. Melissa and a friend drove down last night to see her and will be returing home this evening. Lindsey’s mom Bobbie came by our house yesterday evening to receive our donation. We also toold Bobbie about our great friends here at CAP who our praying for Lindsey. She broke down in tears as Patty and I did. Bobbie will be going back to Vanderbuilt this coming thursday staying as long as she can afford to stay. Below is a picture of Lindsey taken back in 2003 by Melissa.

Please read Lindsey’s story below and help us support Lindsey and her family at this time of need. Together we can make a difference in her life and allow her mother to stay with her longer at the hospital.
Lindsey Hope Harmon, age 28, was born on November 28, 1979, in Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee. She has been best friends with Melissa Leonard, daughter of Allan Leonard (alias The Captain) since the age of 12. When they were growing up, Lindsey spent more time at our house rather than her own. At the age of 16, Lindsey was diagnosed as having lupus. Since that time, she has had many hospital stays and has had a constant trouble fighting this condition. In the middle of March, Lindsey had seizures and was admitted to the hospital in Bristol, Tennessee. Upon testing, they determined that Lindsey had a mild stroke as a result. She spent approximately two weeks in the hospital recovering. After discharge, she was prescribed new medications and as a result had a severe allergic reaction to them. Her skin was ate away from the inside-out and left severe blisters and open wounds that eventually ate away her topical skin. She is currently at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee in the Burn Unit. She has been there since April 19, 2008 and is in severe pain and her skin is slowly growing back. On April 21, 2008, the family was called in as they did not expect Lindsey to pull through. Her mother, Bobbie Harmon is staying with her daughter as finances will allow. Lindsey condition is still critical with some improvement.
