Have you been able to talk to her doctor about the prognosis?

People can live with congested heart failure for many years.

A leaky heart valve can involve several different heart problems, and can involve various treatment approaches, including surgery.

I think that only a healthcare provider who knows your mother's particular circumstances can give you an explanation of the treatment options and her prognosis with and without treatment.

See if you can find out when her doctor usually makes rounds, and try to be there early and plan to stay later. My husband's doctor made rounds at 5 am (!!) so I always made sure I was there earlier than that, to talk to her.
