Friends. I’m Can You Be Angry and Still Dream’s niece and I’m afraid I have some very bad news. Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, CYBAASD’s oldest son (my cousin), went in to the hospital with a serious illness. He was home the next day and seemed to be doing relatively well when I saw him Saturday night, but today things took a turn for the worse and he is back in the hospital in critical condition. He is hooked up to a ventilator and is fighting for his life.
CYBAASD is in Signapore for work and is making his way back as soon as possible. I know he must feel very alone right now being so far away. Because he feels such a connection to you all, I just wanted you to know so that you can keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
I’ll be sure to post updates as I know more.
All my best,
DemDiva
Update at 10pm:
My other uncle and I were able to catch CYBSAAD online for a moment. He wanted to thank all of your for your thoughts, prayers and e-mails (esp "my friends adam and clammyc"). If any of you have met my uncle personally, you know that he always radiates positive thoughts.("This will make him stonger and he'll be beating me on his bike in no time"). He's in very good spirits and actually managed to make me feel better about the situation. He will be back in LA tomorrow afternoon and will make his way to Illinois as soon as he can. Thanks again for all the posts. Updates will follow in a new post as I know more.
