This morning about 4 :12 am I got a call from Dallas...
BillyK is in the hospital waiting for the new set of lungs God has sent his way!!...
Surgery should start at 8:00 this morning and they were told it could take about 6 to 8 hours...
We all know how hospitals are so surgery might be later...
But Verba told me that she would call me regularly and Billy wants me to keep the HnP family inform..
I thank God!!!...Please remember him and Verba in your prayers..
They have ask that in lieu of flowers, etc., a donation can be made to an account that has set up for Billy at a bank in Yukon...I will get more details and post them..
We have to carry our daughter to the hospital in Little Rock this morning or I would be on my way to big D....
There are two transplants happening at UT this morning and one is our Billy"S.
The donor lungs are from a person on life support...perfect...no trauma...and locally...So here we go folks...Hang on for this wonderful ride!!...Love to all-KatG/KAtC

I just read that Billy is having problems, I hope the strength of our prayers carry him through this.

Verba just posted on facebook that Billy is back in surgery has had 6 units of blood and they can't find and stop bleeders. He is in critical condition and one of his lungs has been affected.
