Brief Answer:
Talk to your Moms Doctors

Detailed Answer:
I understand your concern about your mother being off medication.
I also understand she is being followed up by a team of Doctors who understand treatment regiments and work with evidence based facts. However, certain things may be overlooked. Your mothers bilirubin levels are quite concerning and would warrant adjusting her medication especially the ones being metabolised by her liver.
Also, Doctors have the responsibility to explain their actions sufficiently for you to comprehend and make choices.
That said, i want you to call or visit her doctors to get more clarity on this.
