My 83 Year Old Mother Was Just Diagnosed With Congestive

my 83 year old mother was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure, stage 3 with AFIB. The lung doctor also said she has lung disease, and her lungs appear as if she were a smoker, and she was not. They have her on about 10 different medications. Two diuretics, One for her irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure pill, blood thinners. She seems better on the medications and can rest a little easier and is comfortable. She gets up 4 to 5 times a night to urinate. Her weight is steady right now. She cannot do much without getting out of breath. What can I expect?
