As we have stated more than once, an ultrasound does not show everything. He needs a biopsy to show exactly what is going on. A GI doc can do that. Just make sure it's with imaging assistance (they use a portable US to see where they are going.) Push for that, if anything, but the GI doc may want to run some other tests first.
It takes a good year for alcohol to get out of the cells of an alcoholic, especially the brain cells. It takes time.
My advice is to calm down. He is not dying--and likely won't if he remains sober. See what the GI doc does and thinks. One step at a time.
