Kanan “Dream Catcher” Albert Higginbotham..has been sick for many years. Back on May 13th he finally shared with us Fubarians just a piece of his story....... I’m really sorry I don’t comment as much as I was I’m tryin everyone that knows me knows I try to get to all my friends everyday. I send out over 1000 comments a day. When I can I even make them myself. Well last week I’m a crash test dummy for the Dr. I have end stage liver disease, cirrhosis,but I’m not lettin it get to me I’m tryin so bear with me. I love all of you and the days I can I’m still gonna get these comments out. Its all I have these days thankz all! Kanan Here is a blog I posted right after that…and it was a sticky bully that only a handful of u bothered to re-post…. I spoke with Albert earlier today. The past few days he has been feeling very poorly. He asked me to post a bulletin for him to let his friends know that he just can't be on as much as usual right now. He tries to get up and comment when he can, but has spent most of the past few days in bed. He gets so tired sometimes. He has been on a waiting list for a new program which will provide him with a new medication. He has been fighting this disease for the most part of his adult life with many ups & downs. The final complications of cirrhosis include high blood pressure in the portal vein & can lead to hemorrhages in the esophagus and stomach; or the imbalance in blood chemicals from malfunctioning of the liver can affect the brain and cause hepatic coma. Hepatic coma usually starts with drowsiness and confusion and culminates in loss of consciousness. Jaundice may complicate any stage of cirrhosis. Edema—fluid retention in the tissues—and ascites, an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity that results in abdominal swelling, also are commonly seen. In the advanced stage of the disease, the liver shrinks and the surface usually has a roughened appearance. The normal lobular structure of the liver is lost; there is no longer fat but only poorly functioning residual liver tissue. Please say a prayer tonight for this special friend, even if you don't know him. Please pray that his pain is eased so he can continue to be the kind-hearted Albert we know and care about so much. This disease is real and essentially fatal. Albert said to send all his love to family & friends. Please let's all show Albert as much love as he shares with his us. It is now his turn in the rough road he must travel to know that he has his friends' support. Thank you so much! These are my true friends who re-posted and I love you all so much!

@ fubar *****Monday, June 23rd Bad news!***** Albert got a phone call about the program he was waiting to get in to. They had rejected him due to some shit in his past. He is so devastated. This was the only thing keeping him hanging on. He has given up the fight. There are no words that could possibly express how terrible I feel for him right now. It just breaks my heart. The end is very near my friends. He has basically shut himself off from the outside world. You see the reason he has the cirrhosis is because he also has Hepatitus C from doing stupid shit back in his younger days. Hepatitus C wasn’t even labeled until 1990 and there is still mega research to be done on it.

PLEASE GUYS! PLEEEAAASEE! TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES TIME OUT FROM YOUR CONTESTS AND AUCTIONS AND GO SHOW THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN A LITTLE LOVE AND SUPPORT! HE NEEDS TO KNOW HE IS NOT ALONE. Albert kanan"DREAMCATCHER"
