Ups and Downs
Almost 2 months on the liver transplant list.........physically Ron is having difficulty; vomiting after large meals, the fatique has worsened and the newest symptom - which by the way - he totally denies......hepatic encephalopathy: a build up of toxins in the brain which causes confusion, slow response, difficulty with motor skills and personality changes. The liver can no longer filter the toxins - these toxins build up in the brain and cause it to go 'haywire'. Both of us feel disappointment and wonder if Ron's liver will ever come. We need some uplifting and positive news.
