Sorry it’s taken so long to reply. On Friday, December 2, my wife had a followup appointment with her nephrologist. After reviewing her labs he told us she needed to be immediately admitted to the hospital for a complete work up, as she was in complete kidney failure due to her cirrhosis of the liver. After spending four days in the hospital the kidney and liver team told us she needed a liver transplant to survive. As my wife is 76 years of age, and very sick and sick of it all, she at this time has rejected any idea of a liver transplant.
My wife just got out of the hospital last Tuesday, December 6. She was dismissed is presently under
Hospice care. We covet your prayers.
