How long til you guys get the results, Bets? How is Susie today?

Vince said Susie was good. Texted around 12:30, said she was on her way for biopsy and drain fluid. Be a few hours.

Hope this helps with the diagnoses.

Prayers heading over the pond for Susie!!

Susie is home. She asked for me yesterday so I went over there for a little while. Bill and I will go over tomorrow. She was in some pain while I was there yesterday and she just rambled on. Couldn't hear half what she was saying as she talked so low. She gets her walker today. Hopefully she will get up and start moving around a little.

Bets, I'm so glad she is home. When will they have he biopsy results? Hugs to you all.

Sometime next week. Dr. took Vince's card and said he would call as soon as he found something out. Her primary dr. is also calling every day.

Continue to hold you all up in thought and prayer. HUGS!!!

unofficial diagnosis. Cirrhosis of the liver, caused by high levels of iron and fatty tissues. Susie is and was never fat. This is NOT caused by alcohol. She will be seeing the liver specialist the end of July. Good chance of liver transplant if she qualifies and she gets her strength up. Nurse is coming in almost every day and has P.T. every other day. Here we go, waiting again.

Oh, Flutist, I'm glad you know something, even if it's not good. At least, you can plan now. When will you get the official word?

I've been checking several times a day to see if you had heard something. So glad there is SOMETHING to deal with. I had a feeling a liver transplant was going to be required. Another good reason she looked up her family - I wonder if there is a family history?

Prayers for Susie Bets.

Prayers and Hugs for Susie.

Bets, Much love, hugs and prayers for Susie and all of your family.
I was adopted and have never found any of my natural family. I've always wondered what my family health history is. I know there's a condition where you can have too much iron in your blood. Also you can be a normal weight and still have fatty tissues in your liver I believe. I pray and hope that this all works out and she gets a transplant quickly if she needs it.

Continues prayers for healing and for strength.

Drac, there is a family history of pancreatitis and gall bladder. The biggest thing is to get her strong enough to do a liver transplant. She needs to get an appetite so she can start eating solid foods. She talks about texture of some foods, even those she used to eat. The home health care nurse she has lives just around the corner from her and is trying different foods on her. Her name is Susie and she is also adopted. Wow.

Will keep sending my best for Susie, flutist, and hope she can get her strength up for a liver transplant as soon as possible

Hmmm... would be interesting to know if there is any connection between the family history and the non-alcoholic cirrohsis.

Well Bets, now we know what to pray for!! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. HUGS!!! Prayers that she get her strength back and a liver transplant ASAP!!!!

Hugs and prayers

My prayers Bets...

People have to understand that... Cirrhosis of the liver is not always caused by alcohol.. I had a friend who died from this because of taking prescription pills, and Tylenol.

Prescription medication that these doctors gives out sometimes do more harm then good.

I'm adding my prayers too.

Dar, you are correct. If the doctor is on the ball and is aware to this, they will order blood tests to keep tabs on it.

Hugs and prayers for Susie. Hope she'll be better soon. And yes pills, among other things, can be very harmful for your liver.
Be strong and have faith

Continued prayers Bets for you and Susie. Hugs!

Hugs, love, and prayers for you and Susie Bets.
