hope you dad gets better.
My dad had hepatitis C... and was on the list supposedly for a liver transplant (UCLA Medical Center). Unfortunately, since his liver was almost all inflamed, the blood that flowed through the hepatic artery was being backed up and dialated. As a result, he suffered all types of things (fluid build up, weak, tired, couldn't eat too well, and eventually esophageal varices). After a while, he suffered upper GI bleeding and could not stop bleeding...

*cries* I loved my dad too. I hope all goes well for your dad and your family. No one should ever suffer through these things... it's just so harsh and disconcerning to see such things happen to those you care for. This happened a year ago and I still think about my dad everyday to this day.
