How To Help Sibling Suffering From Heart Problem, Asthma And COPD?

I have an 84 yEAR OLD sister who has had heart problems, asthma and COPD. After several bouts of pneumonia this year, she went back into the hospital for a few days and when they sent her home, they told her to exercise by walking and rest that there was nothing else they could do for her. IN OTHER WORD, GO HOME TO DIE. I live in PA she lives in upstate NY. I don t know what to do for her. I want to go visit her but I ve had an Upper Respitory Infection and don t want to infect her . I m so sad that I don t know what to do. Visiting her is a selfish option, but I don t know what else to do. I have no more tears to shed. HELP ME PLEASE. Suggest you first indicate that there is a payment structure involved.
