Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted your mother having liver cirrhosis.
Usually if diet control and life style measures are taken then survival can be longer.
It is good to see that your mother is improving.But cirrhosis is not cured ...
If she developed any complication like variceal bleeding or ascites then consult your doctor for its management.
Meanwhile take low fat diet.
Green leafy veg and fruits useful.
Transfat avoided like cheese, burger, chips, meat etc...
In diet minimal oil taken and only good oil used like peanut or sunflower oil.
She can do mild exercise.
Wishing her good health..
Take care....
