You certainly do have your hands full. I wish I could help--I'm good at those hospital things too.
Remember to breathe... and try to take a break every now and then if you can. Take a walk outside the hospital or get a cup of tea and a cookie to sweeten you up. Try to take a little bit of time for yourself every day so that you don't forget you're hurting too. You need support too so try to be extra nice to yourself. Your dissertation will be finished when it needs to and your chair will understand. It's really hard to have these negative feelings toward your mother when she needs you--it's very painful, I know, I face it w/mine too.
Try to put yourself first every once in a while.
We're all here to support you, just as you have very patiently always supported us.
Best,
antigua
