My Mother in Law also has end stage Liver disease with advanced Hepatic Encephalopathy. She has been moved from the hospital into our local Nursing/Rehabilitation Home because she has lost all use in her legs and hasn t been able to walk unassisted, even at home, before her 3 week hospital stay. She has lost years off of her memory and short term memory isn t in tact either, however she is aware of family. She has a lot of swelling in her stomach, legs and feet as well. Blood work showed her ammonia level to be down and was noted to be 7. I am getting mixed answers concerning her prognosis and I want to know what to expect with this. Good Or Bad.. I want to know. What can I expect? Months? a year? Can you give me some advice?
