********* Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They figured out that it was one of his heart medications that was causing his elevated liver enzymes (and therefore jaundice and abdominal bloating). They just discontinued the medication yesterday, and his enzymes are already down some. His pulmonologist started some new treatments to help dad breathe better and therefore hopefully help clear the fluid that is on his lungs. AND, the nursing home is ready to take dad as soon as his insurance approves it. I saw dad yesterday, and he seemed to be in better spirits. Still kinda 'out of it' because of his pain meds, but at least he didn't seem confused. He knew who I was this time. :p So praise Jesus for small blessings!
