Sorry to hear everyone is struggling right now. FWIW, my second husband almost died of kidney and liver failure. He was close to death for a couple of weeks but turned around and when he was well enough for a biopsy it turned out he had EARLY cirrhosis and would be fine if he never drank again. Sadly, he went back to it a few months later. The point is, there is hope--prayers out for your boss and his wife.
