His family later finds out about the nosebleeds, and a physician from Mankato informs Charles the symptoms point to a deadly form of leukemia, and that Albert has a short time to live.
Albert (unbeknownst to anyone else) suffers from unexplained nosebleeds and is always tired. Albert interviews at the University of Minnesota, where he plans to study medicine. The first of these, 'Look Back to Yesterday,' depicts Albert's heroic battle with an ultimately fatal illness. After production ended on the long-running 'Little House on the Prairie' series, three made-for-TV movies helped wrap up the series.
