Hi All ~ Well, after 2+ months I brought him home. He looks like a stripped chicken, but he's home! He ate pretty good the first night and fairly good the 2nd. He hasn't said ONE WORD about drinking and I haven't brought it up. I'll blindside him with a meeting tomorrow night.

He's on a whole lot of medication for the liver, and he also had brain swelling which I didn't know about! So he's on meds for that too. I'm handling his meds so he takes them on time.

He's extremely weak, and unstable on his feet. He does "okay" in the house, but needs a walker if we go outside. I watch him VERY carefully.

Just thought I'd update. Thank you all for your support thru all this. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

He has a long road ahead of him. He's lucky to have you in his corner.

Remember, you can't take care of him without taking care of yourself first. Please keep posting.

Thanx everyone -- So far everything is going great. He's VERY weak, but we're working on that. He's eating pretty good, so we'll get some weight on him

Most importantly, he's still sober! And if I have anything to say about it he'll STAY sober!

Thankx again! Love you all
