My husband admitted to hospital on 6/8. In the Morning before admitted he was great and ate 2 protein pancakes. On 12 he was vomiting blood twice, endoscopy on 13 twice, in ICU 13,14,15,16.. endoscopy again on 17.. he still very sick and weak, on 17 he was a bit confused and talking about matrix and resistance.. and he said we should divorce so I can be free and not missed anything or beautiful things.. I was so upset but I knew as well it’s because of his liver. How long anyone here have to stay in the hospital with Cirrhosis condition and with the complications that we all know ( jaundice, HE, bleed, ascites)? Thank you 🙏🏻

So sorry hubby is so poorly again.My hubbies hospital admissions were...

1st time for a detox, discharged himself.

2nd detox in for a week.

3rd time he never came out.

Hopefully for your hubby the outcome will be more positive as alcohol isn't an issue ?

They will treat him for all his symptoms, things should then settle down enough from him to go home again for rest and recuperation and some tlc. Stay positive.

Good luck to you both.

Sorry to hear about your hubby. Mine was hospitalized in oct 2019 with heptorenal problems, vomiting, ascites and HE. The HE is upsetting I know. My husband thought I was sleeping with doctors and conspiring with them to keep in in hospital against his will. He was mean and nasty but it will pass. My husband fell whilst in hospital and broke his femur which complicated his issues so he was in hospital for 8 weeks but the HE cleared in about 4 weeks. You need to remember that when your husband is rude or nasty that it is not him really. Be strong for him then go home, rest and have a good cry. H e ll be fine I m sure. Mind yourself too

Hi Linn

So sorry to hear that your husband is still in Hospital and struggling so much ☹️.

I think we all experienced different things when we were (are) ill. For instance the first time I was in Hospital for nearly three weeks and remember only the last week. My wife was asked where she wanted me to die - home or Hospital, but she only told me that a year later.

[I dread to think of the things I said and did during those times when I had HE. Funnily enough (although I know nothing is funny in these situations) is when I called our son by our dog’s name when he came to visit - apparently that didn’t go down too well and still rankles him as he was in of the three people People struggling to get me to the ambulance 😕.]

After that first time though they said they knew how to treat me and the durations in Hospital got shorter each time until eventually I was fortunate enough to get my Transplant.

I do hope your husband improves in a similar manner and will be keeping my 🤞🤞 for you both. (I really do believe it is so much worse in this situation for the partner/carer than it is for the patient so hope you are as OK as can be).

Well Linn I have to admit that my memory of these days is fairly blurred after all the HEI had, but I seem to remember fatigue being the main issue for me (apart from swollen stomach and legs). I think I have shut out a lot of memories about those times - although it could be all the white bits they saw in my MRI brain scan afterwards (my wife calls it fluff!)

Please ignore the anger if you can - it really doesn’t mean anything and it probably is frustration as much as anything. And as for lack of sleep…….I’m sure you know that that doesn’t help improve irritability - but hopefully that will come back to normal with time as his condition is stabilised🤞.
