Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 He was a social drinker but for many years; he never had any problem till a sinus infection caused him to fall the 1st part of Feb; the doctor perscribed Lortabs for pain and Serivaid for infection, 3 days later he was yellow, couldn't wake up and was spaced out. I took him to the ER and after 2 weeks he was told 20% of Liver is cirrohisis, 20% fat. The doc has him on a perscription vitamin and Zantac for his stomach only. The doctor is really reluctant in treating him because he is scared of law suit, we just want him to be better. Billy has not drank and will not drink (anytime soon); because he wants to be better. After 3 days in the hospital a blood test revealed that there were no alchol or drugs / nicotiene in his system. But still was no better for the remaining 1 1/2 as for amonia in body, iron levels or blood clotting. He has improved greatly since coming home with the vitamin water fruits and veg. (but have no blood work to confirm this as real) Unfortunately all the fruits and Veg. are playing havoc with his intestines and causing his roids to be really irratated. He goes back to his doctor in 2 weeks ; after he sees a counclor etc to prove his sincerity. In thre meantime we were hoping to gain some info and get a jumpstart on recovery.
