didn't check your code in detail, just the beginning...

i always use these displays in 4bit mode. my initialization is:

  delay_ms(140);
  LcdSend(0x02);              // nop + 4bit
  delay_ms(80);
  LcdSend(0x28);			// 4bit, 2line, 5x8dot
  delay_ms(80);
  LcdSend(0x0c);			// disp on
  delay_ms(80);
  LcdSend(0x06);			// addr inc on write
  delay_ms(80);
  LcdClear();

one problem of these lcds is, that they may hang if you write any data
before internal reset sequence has finished.
as a first try, add a very long delay (a few 100ms) before starting
initialization. 
this might eventually help.
