I Think My Brother Has Reach His End
My brother is an alcoholic with a MELD score of 45 and a DF score of 188. He cannot clot and self discharged himself when the doctors mentioned hospice. He wants to be at our parents and I believe he does not want to try other facilities for a transplant. I am searching hospitals that don’t require sobriety for an emergency transplant.
It’s been extremely hard to go through. He is only 33 and it’s my 30th birthday and I just can’t go through this. I had to be the one to tell him his life expectancy over the phone today also.
Just kind of wanted to post about it. Can’t stop thinking about it. Doctors prognosis is 20-90 days to live. But that’s likely with medical care which he is no longer receiving.
My parents are 70 and I also worry they can’t won’t make it through this.
My brother thinks he can just get better on his own but obviously we are all incredibly concerned but he refuses to be in the hospital or hospice another day.
