Rebecca,

I am sorry that you misunderstood what I posted, but that's becoming the norm around here on all the forums - between many people. We seem to be assuming that a comment was a personal attack or a snarky remark, and I just hope it stops soon. We have been making an effort on all forums to keep things courteous.

I did not question anyone's closeness to Billy or Marla and did not intentionally represent any exclusive access to status or information.

Those with access to his wall, will obviously post any info for everyone here.... just like has been done in previous posts. We are all concerned for Billy.

At the risk of overstating it, here goes...

I don't know what Billy's security and privacy settings are. I don't know what you'll see even with the actual link - his wall could be blocked unless you're friended.

Facebook users cannot just send URL links to other user's profiles. Their own profile name is embedded into the link and is useless to others. That's why folks receive those "add a friend" suggestions.

If you're on facebook, use the search box and enter his name. His page will come up with others and you will have to look at the profile photos to select - and then you will either see his wall or not see his wall.

Outside of facebook, use this link to search:

Billy G search

Sorry folks, I am bowing out of this thread.

Will leave it to others to advise about Billy.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

There is no additional info on Billy. It was a horrible motorcycle accident and he is in critical condition is all anyone knows. His Facebook page says nothing more.

Please don't attack Kat or anyone else on here. We are all just as worried as everyone else and pray for his recovery. All Kat was trying to say is that if you are not already a friend of Billy's on Facebook, you may not be able to see anything on his Wall or post anything to him. And since he is not available to approve friend requests, his page will stay as is for now.

This is what is written regarding the accident by Chandra:
"Dear Facebook Family,
Bill was in a terrible motorcycle accident, in critical condition. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. We need all prayer warriors at this time. We love you Billy G."

Rebecca...no one is trying to keep you from Billy or his family...Kat was just trying to explain (not knowing that you already know) how FB operates. I think we are all on edge waiting and wondering how Billy is.

If anyone hears anything else, please post.

Yes, if anyone has any info, please keep us all informed. Billy is a great, fun loving guy, and we all want him to have a complete and speedy recovery. Kat said something about it being hard to explain to some people about how people can become friends over the internet, and I'm sorry that they can't understand that. I've met a lot of good people through the internet, and Billy G is one of them.

Hello Everyone,

I am so sorry to hear of Billy G's accident. I too will send up prayers for his complete recovery. Billy is really a friendly and welcoming person as other have mentioned here. Let's stay as positve and uplifted as we know Billy G would for all of us.

Thinking about you Billy G and the Mrs.and praying you will be okay.
Ms. T

there have been some updates within the past day on Billy's page .... there is a wall post on Billy's facebook to friend his daughter for status updates. Her name is Marcie Walker (Marcie Garmon).

From what I read on Marcie's page (and the wall is public, so others can search and check), Billy had some setbacks and is under sedation - he had some blood clotting and pneumonia set in. But he is improving, so keep the prayers going and good thoughts and positive vibes.

Marcie's original post:

"My dad was in a motorcycle accident this past Saturday..hit a deer. Fractured shoulder, broken ribs and internal bleeding in the head. Due to this accident found out that he has blood clots in his legs and lungs. Pray for him please!!!! We're in Dayton, OH in the Miami Valley Hospital."

Just checked on Marcie's facebook page. She wrote:

"So my dad is still needing help with his breathing and it sounds like there's a lot of fluid in his lungs. They're going to do an x-ray tomorrow to see exactly how much. He seems to be more coherent today and keeps asking to go home."

more from Marcie's page:

"So dad had a very good day today. He is aware of everything going on and trying to talk, but the trach in so makes it a little difficult. He asked to sit up in a chair. While he was in the chair they took the oxygen off and he did good for about a half hour breathing on his own. Every day he keeps getting stronger. There trying to figure out a way to get him home to a hospital here, but insurance won't cover it."

Sounds like Billy is a real fighter. Keep fighting Billy G! Thanks for the updates Kat.

Billy is a fighter. From Marcie's facebook:

"The doctors are getting a little frustrated with dad because he keeps trying to get up out of the bed. He is confused at times of where he's at and is trying to escape. His body still needs time to heal and it's just a long process for him. If he would just relax it would be faster."
