He has been in my prayers asking for a diagnosis so that the healing can begin. He will remain in my prayers until recovered. @Marc1301 thank you for the update.
My poor friend just can't seem to catch a break. He was starting to have some improvement in his numbers indicating that hopefully his liver was starting to function more normally again, but he was still building up fluid, albeit at a slower rate.
Just found out that Friday they did the procedure to drain the fluid again, and by yesterday morning he was in terrible pain. They did a scan and discovered they had perforated his bowel. Took him into surgery, and seven hours later he was in ICU where he still is right now.
I'm starting to wonder if he's ever going to make it out of the hospital. He still seems to be handling it as well as one could expect though. Figured I would update things for those that are interested, and have prayed for him.
Thanks again.

Gregor, I appreciate your prayers, but this is not happening due to Covid (very sorry about your friend btw), he appears to be over that. His liver function went out for some unknown reason, and started this nightmare he is living. Prior to this he was as healthy as a horse, but I guess most people that get hit with serious situations often are the same. I have questioned him multiple times as to whether he was drinking to excess since his divorce in 2015, but he swears no,........and I remember him as a guy of good character.
Actually, only God knows the truth.
I thank all of you once again for the prayers and good wishes, and I have told him a few times that a number of people are praying for him.

Unfortunately I have an update, and it is not a good one as I have been fearing the past couple of weeks.
I lost communication with him after the abdominal surgery, and today found out he has been taken home under Hospice care. They estimate 5 to 7 days before he passes.
My heart bleeds for his children, and the rest of his family. His mother just finished treatment for breast cancer last year, and now she gets to see her son die before her. Not the natural way.
I appreciate the prayers and good wishes,.........sometimes plans are different than what we wish for it seems. May God bless you, and keep you JP.

Hospitals are dismal enough, but no human contact is horrible.
Prayers and best wishes from my world. May God smile his way.

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books
Many thanks once again for those that have kept him in their thoughts, and prayers. He passed on a little after 10am this morning with his family around him.
RIP my friend,.........at least there is no more pain for you now.

I hope your friend recovers fully from the virus. Our friend didn't do so well, he beat the virus and died from infection from bed sores.
Prayers for him.
