Taryntige, jaundice means that your husband has gone into liver failure. Unfortunately, this is a very bad sign. Unless it can be reversed, toxins will build up in his system Sad. If he is not in the hospital now, get him there as soon as possible. I do not mean to frighten you but this is a critical change in his status.

You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.
