Mom Has CHF As Well As COPD, A Fib, CAD,

Mom has CHF as well as COPD, A fib, CAD, angina, 4 heart stents to name some. She takes diuretics to get rid of the fluid. She hates them. She sometimes old not take them and after a month or so end up in hospital... the she could go a couple of weeks without real systems... last weekend she refused for two days and the fluid build up was huge and immediate but she learned again and hopefully finally how important the diuretic is. It appears to me the build up of fluids is faster. And she seems to be releasing a LOT of fluid.. is this a good sign or does this mean her CHF is progressing. I fear she may be nearing the end
