I don't think 'explaining' anything to a three year old is a good idea.
Daddy's not here.
Daddy's sick.
That's plenty.
Yes, she knows her daddy has been sick, and knows when she goes to his mothers house (where he has been staying lately) that hes not there now. so I told her he was at the doctors because of his booboo. she seems to accept this
I suppose I am just torturing myself with what could lie ahead.
The doctor at the hospital said he had a very high score on some sort of scale they use to determine the likelihood of death and was told that if the part of his liver that isnt cirrhotic doesnt start to improve, then he may have 30 days
They also said that the family should come up to the hospital next week to discuss paliative care.
I dont know what to think - im just in a bit of shock right now. I shouldnt be as I had prepared myself for this but .....I am in shock
