Unknown: I am sorry for your mother's illness. We can not predict how long she will live, but your description suggests she is gravely ill.

Depends: what's her MELD score? how high is her bilirubin? how old is she - still considered a transplant candidate? it can be months or quite a few years - need more information (and remember, everything for us is a statistical average, anyway..)
