Just an FYI, not sure if this IS all that comforting, but my "frieed" has again (8th time in 4 months) has gone into the hospital (seems it is now every 3-4 weeks) to have the fluid removed from his abdomen, thusfar it has been 4 days THIS visit for the paracentesis, and albumin, blood transfusions, thusfar, almost 12 liters has been drained and, and 2 more blood transfusions....if you are catching on to what is "typical" at this point.....I am not only amazed at how someone deals with this, as my "friend" does without FEAR, but the DOCS have been SO great and "our" brlier" is ultimately driven by THY almighty healer, Jesus Christ, and NO one nor NOTHING/NO ONE else...yet we" are at peace as well as my friend is...there is still NO definitive "liver transplant" news"yet, and it has been a longggg 5 month wait, YET, having "peace IS everthing AND FAITH (belief) that everything WILL work out!
My "friend" is not even 50 yrs. old and comes from longevity family-wise...of course this situation is MORESO from Hep C, very typical for past blood transfusions back in the "day" B4 "blood" was screened for diasease. yet alcohol (NOT ALCOHLISM) did it's "part" back "in the day" Hep C is VERY common now-a-days".... SO, I guess what I am saying, as a former nurse for 30+ years, i(and still am but now on a 1 on 1 basis, is that. FAITH is everything..God made US ALL different, and yet, some things will ALWAYS be similiar! MY offering to you is ONLY a grain of salt, yet, I have witnessed how "miracles DO STILL happen, and GOD knows all! Put your concerns in God during your druthers! :) I am NOT different than you to "receive" a miracle!!!!
