Thank you all for your concern. We will have more information soon but we make the following request for now.
***PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT AL OR HIS FAMILY THIS WEEK.***
While the outpouring of support has been wonderful, right now it is seriously hindering our ability to concentrate on making critical decisions regarding Albert's treatment and care.
For now, you can help by:
1) Emailing albert6363@gmail.com to make sure you are on the distribution list. (This is the best way to contact us.)
2) Gathering up pictures of Albert.
THANK YOU for your patience and understanding.

When Al was in the Hospital
When Al was in the hospital, he was his usual "optimistic - cool as a cucumber - generous - funny" self. I thought I'd share a few of these lighter moments with you.
- When being admitted to the ER and filling out paperwork, they asked what my relation to Al was. Without missing a beat, Al declared, "The Boss!"
- Although Trinh and I were not there in our professional capacities, Al nevertheless jokingly informed the ER staff that he had brought along his "doctor" and his "lawyer."
- When I asked Al, "How many yelp stars should we give the hospital?" He said, "Well that depends on if they fix me or not. If they do, 5 stars!"
- When heading back to the hospital, I asked what I should pick up on the way. (crackers? ginger ale? fruit?) The reply? ALCOHOL.
Albert always has such a phenomenal attitude towards, well EVERYTHING, so it should come as no surprise that this situation is no exception. Perhaps emulating his philosophy is something we can all strive to do during this difficult time.
