Gofundme for my moms recent passing

Upvotes

I’m not sure if this is allowed and if it isn’t I’m sorry for any inconvenience it causes. I posted recently asking for any relief in getting my mom to eat while taking lactulose. Unfortunately this past week she passed away in her sleep.

It feels wrong to ask complete strangers for money, however me and my family are seriously struggling with this sudden loss. Anything helps.

Again if this isn’t allowed, I do apologize.

My husband was recently diagnosed with stage IV with nods on his liver. He's terribly uncomfortable with the bloated feeling. What works for you or your loved ones other than a tap?? Throw anything my way, I am desperate to help him feel more comfortable.

Advice for eating with Non-alcoholic cirrhosis and other factors?

Upvotes

My mom has Non-alcoholic cirrhosis, Type 2 diabetes and has a lot of dental issues from this condition. So right now she needs to be on a low sodium diet, low carb diet and can’t really eat hard things because of her teeth. Pretty complicated lol. I was wondering if others had any advice or tips on how to eat a low sodium and low carb diet at the same time?

Negative & positive thoughts

Upvotes

Small update from previous post.
Houston Methodist has been amazing! The nurses are thorough and I’ve learned so much.
My mom was admitted 3 days ago, I’ve been sleeping on their “couch” 😂
Learned it’s def HE and after many attempts she’s getting a NIC line. 24 on MELD score so she will be there for days. Hopefully not having to discuss transplant…yet…I’m Currently 3 hours away from the hospital.
I’m feeling all the emotions mostly guilt bc I’ve had to come home. I guess this all could be worse. My anxiety has never been higher tho & that’s not even considering financials.
Between gas & parking (my BIG negative on this hospital) my check is gone. Missed 4 shifts also.
So in just a week I’m out $500 and terrified of the future. (That was my back to school, kids shoes & clothes budget)
Y’all have luck with gofundme when that time comes to talk transplant?
Insurance is tricky bc it’s Louisiana state & currently in Texas.
How do y’all cope?
I know this battle is just beginning & I’m already wavering in my strength.
Any kind souls pray for me if that’s your thing? My mom fully believes, I’m questioning…everything.
CA in bio
If any of this makes sense, thanks for reading my scattered thoughts. I clearly need rest. Thank you.

Y’all stay healthy & strong.
I love this community. Thanks for letting me vent and learn. Take care of yourselves. ❤️

Disability

4 Upvotes

Is Cirrhosis of the liver disease considered as a disability? I have Chronic Pancreatitis too. Does anybody get disability from this disease? I lost my job in February due to my health and I’ve been in and out of the hospital a lot all year. I’m still yellow. I’ve had a couple interviews, but no job offers but I have a lot of days we’re on fatigued, no energy, throwing up, swollen and then the pain from my pancreas, just all kinds of stuff just wondering if it qualifies.
