Sorry to hear about your mom!
During treatments there are exercises you can do to help keep your range of motion as close to your usual as possible. Stretch open your mouth as wide as possible and hold it for 7 seconds, repeat 7 times in a row and do 7 sets every day.
Best wishes with your treatments.
