Husband has grade 3 Ascities what to expect

@leonardg, Hi, K. I read in the Snapshot discussion that your husband will be undergoing his evaluation for liver transplant at Mayo Phoenix this week.
It will be an exhausting experience with multiple appointments. Your husband will be well taken care of. The transplant nurses are the best! You will likely spend a lot of time in the waiting room while your husband has his tests and then spend time together between scheduled appointments. You will be able to be with him during consults.
Take a notebook so you can write down questions, and take notes. Also take a big purse or pouch to keep all of the education materials you will be given. Pack a bottle of water and some snacks for a quick refreshment.
Let me know how I can help you along the way.

2nd reply. Rosemary, did you have nausea and vomiting at this stage of being evaluated? Husband vomits once or twice a day. He thinks it’s trigger by lactose and the lose of taste. He also thinks Compaize is a trigger. I’m obviously concerned about him loosing the Lactulose and other meds with his vomiting. Who would I speak with about? They hepatologist staff that’s been monitoring him up to this point just seems to ignore me if they don’t have an answer. So frustrating.

Oh wow! Thank you Rosemary for reading my post AND for the advice. Got it and packed it. Leaving tomorrow. Been busy today preparing. I’m definitely a note taker…maybe not pretty notes but I understand them🙂 Again, thank you for your support! ❤️
