I try to stay focused and take it a day at a day. I don't get ahead of myself because then I risk disappointing myself if I pitch my hopes too high or scaring myself to death over something that might or might not happen. I don't do yoga but I do deep breathing particularly at bedtime. It helps me to calm my overactive brain and makes sleeping easier. Good luck to you and your mom.
