Good luck & fingers crossed for your Mom - I hope they find the cause soon. It does sound like she's in a good place to be, once you get over the first hurdle.
In London I had 9 and 7.5 hour waits in A&E (ER) which I simply didn't understand. I was walking wounded so the waiting affected my mood more than my health, but I still considered it excessive.
Luckily waiting times in A&E have been targeted and the last time I went (in Leicester) I was seen within 30 minutes.
Any parent well enough to be morbid sounds like a parent on the mend
