Mom won't eat unless its the occasional ice cream cup. She does not eat or drink enough to nourish a bird. I just took her blood pressure and it was 80/45, it always runs low. Yet she seem fine this time around. Normally when when she is dehydrated she is lethargic, moody, weak etc. I just don't get it.

Normally when she is having a bout of dehydration she is really weak, even more so confused, can barely walk even with walker. But for the past day or so she has been unusually perky despite everything.
It is common at the end of life to withdraw from eating. Let her enjoy the ice cream!
You may want to call in Hospice.
