Farewell Al Panebianco -45th Inf Div

Stay tough, sir. I'm pulling for you.

 

Hugs,

Al has been moved from the hospital back to Rehab at Cary Health &Rehabilitation Center. His infections have been cured and he is starting the very slow process of rehab. If he can stay infection free, he will probably be in the rehab facility for 2-3 months. If he acquires any new infections, it could send him back to the hospital and the process will start all over. The one major concern at this time is his atrial fibrillation which is causing him to sleep most of the day. This is causing his rehab to go a lot slower than would be normal.

 

I will keep you all updated as we continue his rehab

Let us pray he will continue to improve. Such a long, long haul. Hugs,

I hope Al's treatment goes well and he is comfortable. I'll keep him and other vets in his position in my prayers.

Another one of my GREAT friends is gone. Oh sad day. My inbox will be very lonely without AL. We've been corresponding for five years, and hardly a week would go by without a note from him.

 

I will miss you greatly Al. It ain't gonna be the same without you.

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Al passed away this morning. We ask that you give Tina a day before calling. I will e-mail you with funeral arrangements as soon as they are known.
