My husband has end stage liver disease, which just happed like within four months last fall. I became concerned when I became aware of how much his drinking had increased last fall. He became hospitalized close to Christmas and was released early in January since we were this was it and he needed time to spend at home with his family especially his grandchildren. The doctors had only given him two weeks to live but thank God he is still with us. He has NOT has a drink since December, although he asks we all say NO, we love you Dad. I am beginning to see signs of confusion, fatigue, headaches, weight gain but no swelling in the feet, which was a sure sign of him drkinking again. So my question is how much time does my husband actually have? I am in denial of what is going to happen because my daughters say I have NOT accepted what is happening or what will happen. I stress out over all this and no one sees it, our daughters just want to comfort their Dad and adhere to his needs like I don't need them, too. When I ask questions, they just tell me, you don't get it Mom, do you? Then I start crying and they have no sympathy for me. I am a teacher and going back to work soon and I have been spending a lot of time with my husband since I don't know actaully when the Lord will take him home. In fact, he had died for a short time while he was in the hospital, his heart did a crazy thing, but it started back on its own.
