37 year old cousin in hospital with ESLD
Hi everyone. I'm new to this community and just looking for some real life experience and thoughts because Google is a very scary place. My closest cousin who is like a sister to me has been in the hospital for about a month with complete liver failure (chronic alcohol related). She was in the ICU with ascites, jaundice, kidneys failing, etc. They gave her the option to enter hospice and she refused. I went to visit her (she's out of state) and she was slightly out of it but surprisingly able to hold conversations and seemed to have a decent awareness of what was going on. She was also eating and drinking well. This seemed promising. In the week that followed she was released from icu after showing signs of improvement. Her swelling started to go down, billiruben levels improved, kidneys improved. I've been very optimistic until hearing today that she's not looking good. All I know is she has been sleeping for 2 days, no food or water, and they now have her on oxygen. I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this but I just want to know if anyone has been here or known anyone in this situation. Is this something she can come back from? I am trying to stay so positive for her but I don't want to be naive.
