Linda’s son fell three stories down

Linda Boone has gone through a lot in her life and is one of the strongest of her siblings. The family believes their faith sustained us through tragedy. When her son, Ryan, was a little boy, he slipped and fell three stories down from a skylight on a roof and immediately had his skull crushed from the force of the impact.

Although doctors told Linda that her son would be in a vegetative state if he survived his deep coma, Linda still prayed for her little one to get better and thanks to medical marijuana, he’s doing “much better than anybody had ever predicted.” “I’m very grateful that this is available legally for Ryan right now,” Linda Boone told Matt Lauer on TODAY.

The medicine helps Linda’s boy, Ryan, fight an involuntary reaction he has to seeing men he doesn’t know. “It’s really a fight-or-flight part of the brain. He feels threatened by other men, so we were kind of limited as to where we could go,” she explained during a previous appearance on Today.

Linda Boone continued – “He’s great with our family, with the men in our family, but when I’m able to give him some little bit of brownie, a little bit of chocolate (with medical marijuana), something that calms his anxiety, we can go to church.”Linda shares his on Ryan with her husband, Charles Michaelis. The two lovers have been married since December 24, 1985. Linda Boone’s mother Shirley passed away from vasculitis at age 84 in January 2019.
