thank you @rosemarya
if this struggle wasn't already hard enough, we are long distance at the moment as none of this was planned- it all popped up over the last month.
he does have liver failure as well, brought on by cirrhosis of the liver, and a psuedocyst on his pancreas that has a stint and drain in at this point, as it wasn't diagnosed properly until last week.
When he first was put into palliative care, he had no urination, now several days later, he has nearly normal output and approx 6 times a day. His bowel movements have also returned to normal. He's not experiencing any pain, nausea, or swelling. He was having ascites, but that amount of fluid build up has decreased significantly.

@pandaqty, After reading more of your information, my heart sends you my love and my hand reaches out actoss the virtual miles to say that I understand what you are feeling right now. My husband was at my side during my darkest hours, I was comforted by knowing that he and/or my loved ones were with me in thought and prayers and were speaking for me when I was not able to.

As a patient, it sounds like he is showing some good signs and I do hope that this morning brings some positive news.
I am sorry that you and he are gong thru this unexpected turn of events, but unfortunately that is what often happens.

Please try to get some rest and to take care of yourself during this because he is going to need your strength Do you have someone with you?
