That would make sense. I think its hard for them to really diagnose him because he won't tell them how much he drinks (surprise!!!). The only times at the hospital that they said it was from alcohol was when I actually told put it out there myself. The other time they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him (uncontrollable throwing up)....
I just want to have a normal life, normal problems, normal expectations!
