Waiting and wondering

Each day has come a little closer to a diagnosis. We are hoping today it will be definitive. Last week he was admitted with pain in his shoulders, chest and back, there was a gradual shift to pain in the belly accompanied by an overall swelling and difficulty with normal function, like bowel and bladder. Wednesday they removed about a litre of fluid from his abdomen. It was a relief for him, but it was soon replaced by as much as they took off. They have determined the problem is his liver, what specifically is happening there we hope they have determined by a liver biopsy they did yesterday.
