My mommy Tess was admitted to the hospital on friday because of non stop bleeding from the anus. She had to be admitted to know where the bleeding is coming from. My sister and i had to sleep there til sunday because none of our other sisters can sleep over because of their kids. After 3 days, we found out she has liver cirrohis. It means her liver w/c filters our blood is not functioning well anymore, the blood from her varices cant pass through the liver and its all jammed up in her vain and it was the result of one of her main vains to pop. Im not a doctor nor a nurse and i dont know how to explain it exactly but thats how i understood it. the doctors said we cant do anything about it anymore and liver transplant was not an option for her because she said she's already old. The dangerous part of this is all her varices are starting to explode even the ones in her esophagus. Its dangerous because when the vain in the Esophagus explodes, she will drown with her own blood. Its not something that i would like to imagine but we have to face reality that anything can happen any minute now. It really is a depressing time for our family but we just savor every moment with her and act as if nothing is wrong. From the outside she looks very strong and she can still shop and go to greenhills but her inside is slowly deteriorating and one of her veins could pop anytime which can be the result of blood loss. Right now, we're just putting all our hopes in God because only him can Help us and comfort us during this time in our lives. its depressing when a family member is sick, its very hard to function well.
