At a loss
My husband, a very successful, high functioning alcoholic, had elevated liver enzymes spring 2019 (In the hundreds). In December 2024, his liver enzymes were still elevated, but better. (Levels in the 90s).
The problem is he has drank every single day since the high enzymes in 2019. He drinks 8 IPAs or red wine. I have begged him to get help. I have reached out to his family and friends. I found him a PCP and called the office to explain my concerns. The pcp ordered trazodone and buspar but no labs. In fact, no labs have ever been drawn in MyChart. Previous labs were from an urgent care and his old pcp not on Epic in 2019. Anyways, last week I smelled ammonia on his breath. The last several nights he has not been sleeping well. He has lost 25-30lbs this last year. His gums and nose bleed easily and I know he bleeds when he wipes. Urine is very dark. His skin color is slowly changing. What I’m noticing, no one else seems to see. His skin color is more gray and has very scant yellowing plus easy bruising. When I reached out to his best friend earlier this year, his best friend told me he had a dream the week prior- the dream was about my husband dying. It was surreal to the point he woke his wife. My husband also made a comment recently about himself dying which hasn’t happened in the 11 years we’ve been together. Oh I’m just so beyond worried and I feel like a broken record. My brother died at 32 from addiction. My husband’s father had esophageal varices burst and liver transplant 6 years before his death.
Not sure what else I can do. I feel sad and scared for our three young children. I have taken weeks/ months off of alcohol myself random times during the year thinking that might help. Any advice?
