We are okay with it...does anyone know about the process, the recovery from liver/kidney failure?

[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 622422, member: 17461"] Thanks, everyone. Judi and Echo, I will post values here later today. difficult child sent lab results last night via cell phone. We have a new phone, though? And cannot get the screen to enlarge enough to read them. (!) We will get that resolved today, and I will post values, here. She is still on lithium, and has had kidney issues twice in the year since it was first prescribed. The only two normal values, according to difficult child, were BUN and creatinine. So, something is still working as it should. Her electrolytes are off (low), she is anemic, and short of breath. I read about the erythropoiten (?) connection with the kidneys, anemia, and shortness of breath. The doctor she saw last week told her she was not dying. Her liver was described to her as "irritated." It is enlarged or swollen. She does not have hepatitis. We did not address cirrhosis. She has had diarrhea for some months, and wonders whether that would account for her "malabsorption syndrome." I think it would be the other way around, right? She actually sounded really good last night. Crisp, centered. Most recent labs should have been published on her website, but may appear there today. She is no longer taking any pain medications. They still have her on the lithium, but there too, her levels are low for the dose she is taking. Thanks to all. Don't be sad or scared ~ it is like we always say, here ~ real life choices, real life consequences. The issue for me is not to miss an opportunity to see and cherish her because we are all wound up in the last $1000 of her tax return she claims to have lost but probably blew at the casino. We are putting money in her account so she can taxi home from doctor. I do believe she is tired, so tired. It is a strange place to be. Again, thanks to all. I will post more, this afternoon.
