some encouraging news from Marcie's facebook:

" Update on Dad: Slowly improving. Not needing as much help breathing. Had to take off blood thinner cause he started bleeding inside..we'll see what docs plan on doing later today about that. He's asking for food...really wants to eat. Thank You for all your prayers!"

She mentioned in a response that the bleeding may be an ulcer.

Marcie has started a "Get Well BillyG" page on Facebook:

This page is for everyone who wants to post a get well wish for BillyG. He will see this after his condition improves.

Asking for food (even hospital food) must mean that he's getting stronger. Go Billy G!

Today's status from Marcie:

"Praise the Lord!!! Dad is out of ICU! Yeah!!! He's in the Pulmonary Floor of the hospital. Still has to work on healing his lungs but I know without our Lord he wouldn't be here right now. Keep up the prayers and maybe he'll be back in Michigan by the end of the week."

I am so pleased to hear of your dad's improvement. Lets hope it continues.

From Marcie:

"Thank God for answered prayers. Dad is doing so well, they will probably be transporting him to Sparrow on Friday!!! My mom asked them to go to Sparrow instead of a place in G.R. so that way she can go there from work and so I'm able to go and see him without driving so far."

From Marcie:

"Dad had a set back today He isn't feeling well and has a fever. They're doing a culture to see if he has another infection somewhere. Because of this he won't be coming to Michigan tomorrow. Let's pray and hope he will be better soon and be back in Michigan early next week."

From Marcie:

"Update on dad. My mom got down there last night and he was determined to leave. Told mom to give him the keys cause he was leaving. Of course she didn't, he's still hooked up to a ventilator. He's scheduled to come to Michigan on Monday to a rehab facility in Greenville. There are only a few rehab places that take people on ventilators."

This is my first visit and post on the Paul Taylor page. Please pass on to Billy G and his family that someone who had never heard of him til news of his mtrcycl accident was posted on MI-well I am praying for him all the same. Moreover, he will soon be in my Church`s internet prayer circle chain. Peace and patience, Paul

wow- I haven't checked in in a long time, so was very surprised to see this about BillyG- I consider him a friend also, we've PM'd many times in the past.
As a fellow motorcyclist, it hurts to hear when someone wrecks one- they are a dangerous toy. I know BillyG loved riding his.

Here's hoping for a FULL recovery, and a vigorous return to his life and family. His wonderful personality brightens most any day, and I look forward to hearing from him again!

Hang in there, Billy!
