My Uncle whom me and my Husband are very close to told us a year ago that he had about a year to live. He has cirhossis and hep c and the doctors told him he was going to die. About 5 months ago he started having ascites and decided to finally stop drinking, and about 3 months ago turned into refractory ascites. Everytime he goes to get drained its 10 liters of fluid (about every 2 weeks) and at the point he goes he can hardly move. He woke up today and couldnt walk he was taken by ambulance and just called and told me they are transferring him to a different hospital because he has an infection on his vertibrae. Does that have to do with his Cirhossis? Im so worried but everytime we try to get info he just says “he is fine”. He can hardly move, we do all of his cleaning and housework I do his laundry and noticed he has lost bowel control as well. Does this mean the end is near?
