Hi and welocme to HCM.
Obviously your father has serious liver damage,but you shouldnt be worried because this is reversible and treatable. You must be sure that there is no hepatitis c and B. His liver function must be evaluated by ultrasound and liver enzymes every 2 weeks.There is no specific cure. He must rest strictly, follow hepatic dietetary and keep constant weight and hidration.
Blood in stool is usually caused by fissurae and hemorrhoids, but considering that he has hepatitis and possible liver failure he should do examination at gastroenterologist. This can be sign of something serious.
WIsh you good health.

Hi
It looks he has Ascites,fluid in abdomen.
It is seen in many conditions like Cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension.This may cause bleeding per rectum also.
Please get an ultrasound abdomen,upper GI endoscopy,Colonoscopy for correct diagnosis.
If you come back with above reports,i can clarify further
Regards
