See ophthalmologist: Your mother needs to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, as she needs to be started on prescription antibiotics. This infection, if untreated, could spread beyond the eye socket.

Treat Infec First: The infection trumps other concerns. If she needs IV antibiotics, do this first. When she can be on oral antibiotics and does not need any abscess drained, etc. Then go to be with kids.
