Update.....

I just got back from a long day with AH at the hospital.

I am still a bit confused.
Now they are saying he needs a liver transplant as most of his liver is cirrhotic. But how do you know it is when you havent done a biopsy, a cat scan.?? she said that from his blood tests and the size of the ascites, they were indicitive of end stage cirhossis.

So I am still holding on to hope. As he isnt bleeding from anywhere, he has no mental confusion as he is still talking normally. So I am hoping that they can treat it and manage until he can get on the list and get a new liver.
He wont get on the list until he is 6 months sober.
It seems like such a long shot but I have to pray and hope.
