This is going to require resting the pancreas for it to heal up.
THEN no more alcohol. Sometimes (rarely) scarring from pancreatitis stays and it doesn't ever heal up completely. Mostly, once the person is out of the hospital they are also out of the woods (provided they don't drink every anymore). If she can keep fluids/food down, she is over the worst. If she can't, then she can't be released.
