They finally figured out that one of the medications she was on has caused her liver to be completely irritated and out of control. It is not known at this point in time if there is any permanent damage.

As soon as they found out, they stopped all her meds. As with any medication, there are always side effects, but with my mom it is always severe. She is highly allergic to many medications. Her immune system is also very sensitive.

Her legs are still swollen and hurt so much, but she can't take anything because it will just irritate the liver even more. What they have given her to try, does not work.

At this point, her biliruben is shot through the roof, her liver enzymes are shot, and her clotting factors are not clotting. She is completely yellow!

There is a little ray of sunshine. Her clotting factors are finally coming down. That has to come down before everything else can. Can I please get some vibes that they will go down and that she will get better?

It is so hard to go home and see her in bed, hardly being able to get up and walk. She is at home indefinately. I hope she will get better. There are times I don't know if she will. She can't go on like this.

If she doesn't get better soon, I fear the worst is yet to come. Her spirit is broken and she has no energy. She is fighting to survive.

We had plans to go to Germany in April to visit family and travel and now I regret not doing that while we could first (instead of being selfish and saving for a house) because I'm afraid that now I may never get that chance.

You can't think that you were selfish for saving for a house. You can never predict what life is going to throw at you.

Big hugs

The liver specialist called back and they are going to take more x-rays and run more tests.

They want to rule out liver disease due to either medication or history. If it is liver disease, they can't do dialysis for the liver and a transplant could take forever.

Right now, I really don't have much hope left. I'm already afraid she is going to die with no one home.

Sabrina,

You and your mom are in my thoughts. My hopes are that she feels better soon and there is an easy solution to her condition.

I've already been crying at work all day long. If I could trade places with her I would.
Thanks for all the support.

She has to have some more test done before they find out if it is liver disease or not.
