I'm sitting here with a lump in my throat and my eyes welling up with tears after reading the article on Petey and seeing the video story. For anyone who wants to see what the folks in Florida saw on the news last night, click on the link two posts above this one for WPTV. Go to the top of the page, in the search box type in "Peter Billias". Three stories will come up. Click on the middle story and it will bring up a list of the most popular stories of yesterday. Scroll down and click on the 8th story, the one of Petey and you will be able to see the newscast, the interview with Petey pre-surgery at home, and footage of the doctors and the OR.

I am so thankful for the generosity of the hospital and ten doctors who were ultimately involved. I cried because his face and jaw looked exactly like Aunt Rosemary's when she was diagnosed with her recurrence. I do believe with all my heart that they got him in just in time.

To Melanie and the kids, our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Be strong!
