YOU and YOUR siblings are your Mother’s voice and advocate. The group of you cling together and stay strong as a group. GET her the heck out of there. Find an elder law attorney and fast. Talk to her GP and fast... get him to step in. Try to get her transferred to another hospital. I am not sure about NY hospitals but try to find another doctor in another hospital to “accept” her as his/her patient. He can then act as the accepting doctor. You may have to find the elder law attorney to start moving this process. As much as we balk at lawyers, when we really need one.. they matter. An attorney can scare the hospital into having her transferred.

Prayers for you and your Mom, of course. That goes without saying from me. May I add this note from personal experience: stay strong as a sibling unit. The in-laws should have no voice.. she isn’t their Mom. The last thing you need is a SIL or a BIL disagreeing and putting pressure on you. I’ve been in that position, MacMattico, and in laws can become the wedge. Please keep us posted and my prayers/best wishes/hopes are with you and your Mom. God Bless and hugs.
