Product Description
Baby boomers are now facing the challenge of caring for their aging parents, and that challenge knows no borders. Some version of what has happened to the elderly people in my life and in the lives of the people I've interviewed, is happening or will happen to you, the reader, as well. Many of our elderly parents took their last breaths in a nursing home. Their health had deteriorated to a point where they couldn't safely stay in a family environment. You'll read of the turmoil many of us went through as we settled our loved ones in Rosewood on Broadway, or Elim, or Eventide. Homes in other areas will have different names, different physical configurations, different staff. That's immaterial. You'll go through the same agonizing process as you look for the best quality care available. You'll go through the same confusion as you try to find a way to work your parents' new environment into your own life. Some of our people are fortunate enough to die with family, in their own homes. Others die in a hospital. Some cling to a whisper of life in a nursing home. But for all, eventually, their journey must end. Minding Our Elders was written to support you as you travel the last leg of their journey with them. It was written to remind you that you are not alone.

About the Author
For over twenty years, Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Through the years of caregiving and deaths, she has come to know professionals in the field, as well as many family caregivers. It was the caregivers themselves who inspired and encouraged her to write Minding Our Elders: Caregiver Share Their Personal Stories. According to a 2004 study by AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, over 44 million people age 18 and over provide care to another adult. Most are happy to help, but caregiving can become an overwhelming addition to an already busy life. People need support. The purpose of Minding Our Elders is to offer a portable support group. Each story is self-contained. The stories are honest looks at many different situations with a common thread; that caregiving is both hard work, and -- at least in hindsight -- personally rewarding. The stories give comfort and assure people that they are not alone. Bursack writes a newspaper column titled Minding Our Elders, and maintains a Website and two blogs devoted to caregiver, boomer and senior issues. She's written hundreds of articles on eldercare, speaks and gives workshops on caregiving and has been interviewed on scores of national radio programs. Bursack is also a contributing author to The Media Librarian's Handbook (Facet Publishing 2008).

Liver Failure

Liver failure occurs when large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and the liver is no longer able to function.

Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often liver failure occurs gradually and over many years. However, a more rare condition known as acute liver failure occurs rapidly (in as little as 48 hours) and can be difficult to detect initially.

The most common causes of chronic liver failure (where the liver fails over months to years) include:

• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Long term alcohol consumption
• Cirrhosis
• Hemochromatosis (an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron)
• Malnutrition

The causes of acute liver failure, when the liver fails rapidly, however, are often different. These include:

• Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose.
• Viruses including hepatitis A, B, and C (especially in children).
• Reactions to certain prescription and herbal medications.
• Ingestion of poisonous wild mushrooms.

The initial symptoms of liver failure are often ones that can be due to any number or conditions. Because of this, liver failure may be initially difficult to diagnose. Early symptoms include:

• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Diarrhea

However, as liver failure progresses, the symptoms become more serious, requiring urgent care. These symptoms include:

• Jaundice
• Bleeding easily
• Swollen abdomen
• Mental disorientation or confusion (known as hepatic encephalopathy)
• Sleepiness
• Coma

If detected early enough, acute liver failure caused by an overdose of acetaminophen can sometimes be treated and its effects reversed. Likewise, if a virus causes liver failure, supportive care can be given at a hospital to treat the symptoms until the virus runs its course. In these cases the liver will sometimes recover on its own.

For liver failure that is the result of long-term deterioration, the initial treatment goal may be to save whatever part of the liver is still functioning. If this is not possible, then a liver transplant is required. Fortunately, liver transplant is a common procedure that is often successful.

The best way to prevent liver failure is to limit your risk of developing cirrhosis or hepatitis. Here are some tips to help prevent these conditions.

• Get a hepatitis vaccine or an immunoglobulin shot to prevent hepatitis A or B.
• Eat a proper diet from all of the food groups.
• Drink alcohol in moderation. Avoid alcohol when you are taking acetaminophen (Tylenol).
• Practice proper hygiene. Since germs are commonly spread by hands, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after you use the bathroom. Also, wash your hands before you touch any food.
• Don't handle any blood or blood products.
• Don't share any personal toiletry items, including toothbrushes and razors.
• If you get a tattoo or a body piercing, make sure the conditions are sanitary and all equipment is aseptic (free of disease-causing microorganisms).
• Be sure to use protection (condoms) when having sex.
• If you use illegal intravenous drugs, don't share needles with anyone.
