UPDATE: Natalie's cousin, Bill, preparing for surgery

*The following information is a letter written by Natalie's Aunt, Ann. It is an update on Natalie's cousin, Bill Coon, who has been waiting for a heart and kidney for the last 4 months. 

Hello Everyone,
Bill was taken down to the OR at about 12:00pm. His spirits were great, he was calm, he was grateful, he was ready.
At 1:40pm we were told the organs were in transit and expected shortly, so they were going to begin to open Bill. The hospital staff has been incredible....we feel so confident in their care.
We will continue to keep you posted, in the meantime, enjoy his picture and his life music - Jack's Mannequin "SWIM" and "RESOLUTION". "Swim has been Bill's theme song throughout this experience. "Resolution" is his song for his journey to recovery.

The picture was taken 15 minutes before Bill was taken into surgery.

With gratitude,
Ann
