It is serious: I wonder what the cause of the liver failure is- could be from viral hepatitis, alcohol or tylenol (acetaminophen) intoxication, autoimmune condition etc. Have them examined regularly by the gastroenterologist. Milk thistle and lots of fruits and veggies, aloe arborsensce may help boost their immune system. Have yourself tested for abnormalities in your liver function. Take care and god bless!
