So sorry to hear of Albert's illness. I live in Albany, so it's just a quick jog down to Emeryville if any errands need running during weekdays.

Please call or e-mail me if ANYTHING is needed - I am an RN and would of course help in his direct care as needed.
Please give him my love.

Please email me if you need any help. I can take Albert to doctor's appointments on weekdays.

I live in Los Angeles, so it is unlikely that I can be of immediate help, but I did want to mention that I went through my own serious illness a few years ago and that Albert might find some solace in knowing that other people have had similar experiences. I wrote a bit about it on my blog here:

dB's Blog

One thing I don't think I mentioned in the blog is that on Christmas eve 2004, the doctors told my wife that I was not going live another week. (I was in a coma at the time.) Obviously, I got lucky and they were wrong. I don't mean to Albert false hope; obviously my condition was very different that his. But stranger things have happened.

Best wishes to Albert and everyone in his family. I can be reached via e-mail through my profile link above.

Wow, I just got the news :( I am so sorry... I have spent several years working as a home health and hospice RN, and would like to help - I happen to have several years of expertise in this sort of care. I am sure setting up a plan to care for Albert requires around-the-clock care, and this can be both emotionally and physically exhausting for the family. I would like to visit him, if that is okay with his family - he remembers me as the party-girl Deb, who he "stole" my disco ball from at a White Elephant Xmas party. Please call me at 408-608-5104. I can stay with him up to 4 hours a day, at least 2 to 3 days a week (mostly during the daytime, and some evenings).
