Hi Starlee. Believe it or not the doctors do know what they are doing and will be doing everything in their power to save your brother's life. If he's just coming out of a coma, looking like a skeleton and in pain it's because of the cirrhosis. Make a list of all the questions you want answered then ask to speak to a doctor and put all your questions to him/her. They welcome questions, it shows you care and are interested in what they are doing to help your brother and will spare the time to do so. The doctors may not always look as though they are doing anything hands on for your brother, but even behind the scenes they will be monitoring his progress and treating his symptoms as necessary.

Best wishes

Laura

Hello Starlee

I totally agree with Laura's reply to you!'

Can I ask do you have any family members or a close friend supporting you and your brother as you must be feeling lonely otherwise.

I'm surely your brothers medical team are doing everything they can, so I suggest you take care of yourself too in the meantime ! Eat and drink as you need to keep up your strength . In the meantime I will 🙏 for your brothers recovery

Take care and please do keep in touch.

Love Trish x

Hello Starlee, just give your brother lots of love!! If he is in the hospital, he is in the best place, I totally agree with Laura, medical professionals know exactly what they're doing. They are angels on earth. Take care of yourself and him of course, which I'm sure you are, you're a good sister ❤

For the pain they usually give opiods or morphine x

[Laura009]

And the pain relief is probably administered intravenously which means you won't even notice it. Honestly he is in good hands and receiving the best of care
