‘Miracles Do Happen’: MY THREE SONS’ Tina Cole Reflects on Co-Star’s Recovery from Coma
By Movieguide® Contributor
MY THREE SONS star Tina Cole recently received an unexpected phone call from her former co-star Dawn Lyn–the first since Lyn had fallen into a coma in late 2022 after undergoing brain surgery.
“I saw a call coming in from her number, and I expected it to be her husband John calling – he usually does,” the actress said. “I was in an indoor soccer game for my grandson, and I could hardly hear. I stepped outside and was stunned. I heard her voice. It was raspy, but it was her. I just said, ‘Dawn, is that really you?’ She said, ‘Yes, it’s really me.’ The tears just came. I was in shock. And it was just so wonderful. I couldn’t believe it.”
“The last time I saw her, she was in a neurological rehab unit, and she still wasn’t responding a whole lot to me,” Cole shared. “So to hear her voice was just thrilling… We had a Christmas miracle when she came out of the coma… And they’re very hopeful that she’ll be home by Easter. Isn’t that great? Miracles do happen.”
Cole shared that the support from fans has made Lyn “very happy, and it helped her heal.”
“I’m just thrilled that there were so many people out there praying and caring about her. I’m a big believer in the strength of prayer,” Cole added.
Cole hopes to visit Lyn at Easter when she is expected to return home.
“I’m so looking forward to it,” Cole expressed. “I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled we all are that she’s recovering.”
“Just shows you miracles do happen,” Cole wrote in a recent Facebook post.
Fox News reports that Lyn underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor.
At the time, Stanley Livingston, who played Lyn’s brother Chip Douglas in the show, shared an update on Facebook after she went into a coma.
“Please pray for her to have a swift and full recovery,” he wrote. “Dawn is one of the nicest human beings I have ever known. Thoughts and prayers also go out to her husband, John, at this time. This is devastating news!”
