Wishing you the best!

Sending big wishes to your sister-in-law and the entire family. I'm glad that you're nearby, able to lend support.

We just came back from the hospital. She is still listed as critical and not stable. We were told today that at this time, she is NOT a good candidate for a liver transplant. This is because now the fluid build up is impacting (putting pressure) on her heart and she would not survive the 8 - 12 hour transplant procedure. They are working to lower the pressure on her heart. She is on a liver dialysis and kidney dialysis machine round the clock and if not for these machines she would have passed away already. She is also still on life support, not breathing on her own. She is aware but heavily sedated and that is helping with the pain. I am very worried for her husband. He has not slept in days and he looks like it. He sleeps with a cpap and has not been able to leave her side other than for a quick bite to eat. Tonight he is going to go home for a few hours and get some rest and a good meal. We were told if things improve, there may be a chance for a new liver and we were also told she needs one so if things dont improve it is clear we will lose her. There is a tiny tiny chance that her liver gets clean enough and it could start to turn around, but then her kidneys are putting out nothing right now. They said, the liver has to get fixed first.
