Hanging In, Hanging On

GH has been sick since Thanksgiving. Just when we think he's on the mend, something else happnens. It's like he has the world's longest cold.

Now he has a urinary tract infection. Bring on more antibiotics!

He's jaundiced. High liver function will do that to a person. The jaundice in and of itself is no big deal, but the root cause of it is frightening. As some of my readers know, liver failure is eventually deadly.

GH pees orange. No, it's not the UTI. This is another sign of high liver function.

He's tired all the time. No surprise there.

He keeps losing weight.

And his nose keeps bleeding. Not a lot, but it just drips, drips, drips. Stops. Drips. Stops. It's hard for him to sleep. He has to hold a Kleenex to his nose all the time.

This nosebleed thing has been the straw that broke the camel's back to me. It's starting to feel like we've reached the beginning of the end. I sure hope I'm wrong.
