I'm sorry Ladyshadow--she's your mom so it's hard but please keep in mind that if it is not morning where you are if she manages to get a good night of sleep--she might suddenly feel a bit better in the morning. Someone I know was just put in hospice then, suddenly, one morning she had an appetite and then 2 days later she is doing so much better. The later in the day it gets--the worse you feel--the weaker you feel. Of course I don't know what is in store for your mom but sometimes you have to ride it out. Also, maybe google her meds--sometimes meds side effects and interactions cause so much harm. Obviously, if you see a concern, talk to the pharmacist/doc but I would check if there has been any changes in her meds....
