I am sorry your family is going through this right now but Praise Him for being in the midst. The journey may be rough but He will carry each of you when you ask. Don't be too hesitant to ask...He has big arms!
You are the true Saint, taking on the responsibility of learning all you can to help your mother. There is no greater bond in humans than a mother and her child. She sounds so blessed to have all of you and it is also a blessing you were raised in a Christian home.
I will be praying for wisdom and guidance for the medical team to find the best possible course of action for you mother.
YBIC,
