Can you live after liver and kidney failure?!
Question: So I post a question earlier about my grandmother being on life support (ventilator) and wondering what her change of making it would be. If you don't want to read them questions... She has lymes disease, ulcers, and a colostomy bag to begin with and on top of that she has taken to many sleeping pills (Tylenol PMs) over a time period so they can't really do anything for her other then wait and give some meds to help the kidneir. Anyways so now we went up there to see her and the doctors said that they can't keep her blood sugar up at all, that she as a fever and she has a kidney infection and her kidneys and liver were weak. They said that the low blood sugar was a sign of liver failure and after her liver failed that he kidneys would go next. They said they would give meds for the kidneys after the liver failed then go from there. Oh and I forgot to say she is in her 70s ... so can you live after kidney and liver failure, what are the chance?

This is a very grim picture and it looks like you Grandmother is very critically ill. It would be inappropriate to say how long she has or what kind of a chance she has here on Yahoo answers. It is important you ask this same question of the nurse or the doctor. Your question is very good and just take it as you wrote it and ask the doctor for answers.
Most likely she will not live much longer based on what you said.
