[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 371343, member: 1991"] With everything else he is on, the liver biopsy should be fairly straightforward. He might not even remember anything about it. It sounds like what I had a couple of years ago. I had to stay lying flat on my back for a few hours in case the biopsy site bled, but it's just a precaution. And it really will give them useful information, especially if it's ultrasound-guided (so they sample any interesting-looking areas). I opted to have my biopsy without medazolam, but it is usual to be sedated for the liver biopsy. It's amazing how one day things can look bleak, ten the next day there is hope. My sister was on a respirator with 5% lung function and the rest scar tissue, a bad candidate for a lung transplant (which they did not do). She is now home from hospital, off all oxygen, using a walking stick occasionally when shopping but otherwise just slowly building her strength back. I hope he can be kept comfortable and calm, so it's easy for everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
