Times like this can only really be helped with a little bit of zen. It teaches- like all religions in one way or another- that the universe is perfect at this very moment. That means, everything that did happen, had to happen and we go from here.
What you have to ask yourself is, what do you want your mother to meet when she sees you?
- somebody who loves her, but is afraid she might die
or
- somebody who loves her and will do what he can to bring her home, healthy, as soon as possible
Think of who you would want to meet in such a situation?!
So, if you can develop any kind of faith to trust not only the universe around you, but the universe as it expresses itself through your actions, this is a great time to bring such a faith to the surface and don't worry about the things you cannot control. Take care to do the right things, which you can control!
This could include learning more about her health problem, but not in any haste and with a keen eye on whose information you read!

We are in a weird world in this century or era, rather. If one has any sense and enough information, it's too easy to distrust the entire medical sector of humanity, especially hospitals, but most common physicians. Not because they were malicious, but because they unwittingly submit to a malicious industry and system above them. I believe that the majority of those well meaning servants have a good and great heart, but the courage it takes to go against the grain of their organization is often too unattainable to them. Many of them are completely ruled by fear, consciously or not.
Anyhow... this is where and when we are right now. If you find no other way, you must accept the things you cannot control and offer at least enough confidence to nourish your mum's inner strength. What makes us survive is not so much the substances that are inside our body, but our will to live!
Provide reason and you provide life!
