So, a year and a half ago my stepfather passed unexpectedly. 2 months later, my mom was sent to ICU with a heart rate of 212/127. She was diagnosed with heart failure.

She had an ejection fraction of 11% and the doctors didn't think she would survive. It's been about 2 years since this happened. Her ejection fraction has increased to about 40%!!

Unfortunately she lives 3 hours away from us and it's hard to always get up to see her.

I'm not sure if I'll like the honesty, but does anyone know how much time she may have with us? I dread my mom passing. She's been a major hero in my life and a huge support. I also want my son to be able to grow up and know who she is.

It's been bothering me so much lately. My step father's 2 year passing is in October, and it's been creeping back into my mind and I've just been so upset. And thinking about my mom.

Can someone with an EF that lol survive for quite some time? (If she got it higher)

Sorry...for this post. I just need some type of clarity. And know if I should be trying to spend more time with her. Maybe taking time away from.work. or am i over reacting to all of this? 😮‍💨
