Thanks all. I'm at the library right now as my computer issues are still unresolved. (Hopefully soon all will be well.)
MIL is still battling hard and no one really knows what is wrong. There is certainly liver involvement and things are very slow to improve. Pain management and rest seem to be the top priority at the moment. She is really suffering. Thank you all for your support, we need it rather badly at the moment. It never rains it pours!
