Hospital admission earlier than expected

So as if to let us know who is boss, this liver disease has brought us to the hospital earlier than expected. Our plans for a family dinner and pumpkin carving tonight will have to be put on hold as we are in the emergency room with a pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs), nausea, and shortness of breath. Alison became ill last night but was able to hold off until this morning. We are now waiting for a time for her to get the fluid tapped. This usually brings about a great deal of relief-so, it can't come soon enough. It looks like she will then be admitted. We'll keep you all updated.
