Cirrhosis Support Group

Thank you all for your help. Unfortunately my dad is in hospice now and is slowly making his journey to be with God. It's very hard to watch him go. This is a horrible disease. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

@Anita none, they are the same

Please know you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I know how difficult it is.

Thanks mpmom,

it's hard... it seems like it's taking forever,but i guess he is not done here and when he is he will be with the angels... Thanks for all your kind words and help

I know it seems impossible but take time to care for yourself. This can take a longer time than people realize and I know it's exhausting for you.

He's getting the care he needs.

Sending Hugs

wmn1120, you are in my thoughts. Sending positive energy for strength for you and your family during this transition for your dad.

Hi Wmn!!!! I love this group they are wonderful & I consider them a supportive family even though my husband threw me under the bus & told me to pack up after he got a new liver after having end stage cirrohsis and hepo renal failure. All I can say is that it is tough, but I always have faith in God even now that Im in IL & my husband is in Az letting his mom spoil him forgive me Im still poed & angry!!!! Have faith in God, ask questions, and just tell yr dad that you are there even though he may not realize it. My best to you & Hugs!!!! Elizabeth

Thanks to all. My mom just called the hospice. His bp was 132/61??? what is that about? it has been dropping and today it is up. She is so happy and I feel it doesn't mean anything. Has anyone ever experienced something like this with a loved one? Is he in pain cuz he won't admit he is. Is he having that last burst of energy they talk about?

what a roller coaster ride.

No one can say for certain, wmn. Many persons start with hospice and pass quickly. Some stay around weeks or months. Some literally are better and come off hospice care. Praying your father does not feel pain. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Let your mom have hope, while she can.
