USA Today directs our attention to the following tweet sent this morning from Children’s Medical Center Dallas and UT Southwestern: “Who’s an early bird? Transplant Twittering starts Mon. at 6 a.m. central!” Yup.

Which makes this “the first time a hospital has tweeted from a pediatric kidney transplant surgery,” far as you know. Hey, if Erykah Badu can tweet a birth …
Oh, and waytago, Pete Delkus. Children’s tweeted yesterday that he raised more than $7,000 for the hospital. Finally, something good has come of his love affair with Dale Hansen.
