I second what MG said--I'm sure you've read my posts if you've read her thread.

Get him to the hospital NOW. These things can turn fatal in a heartbeat--all it takes is the first esophageal bleed. It takes very little time to bleed to death.

The sooner they get him off the alcohol, the sooner he will be eligible for a transplant if one is needed. You don't know yet that it is cirrhosis, or how far advanced it is. It's clearly a liver problem, though.

Hugs, keep us posted.
