Thanks to you all. I went down this path 6 years ago when my husband went into acute liver failure for the first time (he died a little over a year later from cirrhosis/liver cancer), and bulletin boards like this one were my lifeline.

Having a place to come to, to read and learn about what is happening, what is likely to happen, and to vent to people who are there, and have been there, done that, means so much. The tears happen from time to time, but not so much this time around. Could be I am such a pessimist from knowing how things went for my husband who was younger, stronger, and as "only" battling Hepatitis B and it's complications, not several things all at one time. Now I just hope and pray for the "best" outcome, whatever that may be, for my dad. Thanks for being here for me and for the support.
