My mother is 83 years old. She has been recently hospitalized with an ulcer on her foot. While hospitalized her legs have swollen and her arms are swollen and weeping fluid. Her doctor said that she has the beginning stages of CHF and that the weeping is due to a lack of protein. Her breathing has been compromised for a while and her daily activity level was very poor. Is there any other treatments that we should inquire about? From what I have read, it sounds like she may be in end stage.... please offer some guidance Thanks
