My heart goes out to you regarding this issue. Find out the best way you can to help him & make him comfortable if a transplant is not an option
I lost a brother last year to a liver disease, non alcholic type, and end stage is not pleasant & I truly hate to tell you but there is not a lot you can do to make him comfortable.
I also am a step removed from cirrosis myself, non alcholic, but hopefully all will turn out well for me as mine was caught prior to cirrosis.
There truly is no way to answer how long his time is here on earth, only God knows that one.
I am sorry & if you ever care to come & share your thoughts, feeling, we are here.
Best wishes to you & your family
I am sorry to hear that you are going through this with your father.
I am afraid, to be blunt, unless you are able to get a transplant for your father, you do not recover from end stage liver failure.
If he has a virus, then he may recover for a while and stabilise, but you do not say how old he is.
I am border line cirrosis myself through a non alcoholic disease so do know a bit about this through research.
Do not be afraid to ask questions from the consultant or the nurses. You are obviously next of kin and should be able to recieve a direct answer. You need to know best how to care and cater for his needs. It is quite a big window from the biginning of end stage liver falure to the end but you do need to know the facts.
Good luck
