Life Note: Our thoughts are with iHeartMedia KTEX/McAllen, TX PD JoJo Cerda, who will undergo a kidney transplant Thursday (7/28) at San Antonio hospital. The donor is Cerda's wife Julie and the surgery will take him away from work through most of August. "Sometimes it takes something like this to open your eyes to other things in life," Cerda says. "I don't know why it happened but one thing is guaranteed – it has been a humbling experience!" Cerda was hospitalized with kidney failure early last year (CAT 1/13/15) and can be reached for now here. Reach APD/MD Patches with station-related inquiries here.
