I hope I'm stating the obvious, but your mother needs to see a doctor.  Is she eating?  I'm not familiar with your weight system at all, but according to Google calculator, that's 49 lbs. lost for a weight of under 112 lbs. now.  Is that right?  Her blood sugar doesn't sound good at all, and her blood pressure is definitely too low with way too low of a pulse pressure.  Any doctor should be alarmed to see a pulse pressure (the difference between the top and bottom number of the blood pressure) that is consistently that low.  This definitely needs to be checked out as soon as possible; there are many different things that could be causing this, and there are treatments that may help.  With blood pressure and blood sugar readings like that, I would go to the emergency room to get prompt help.
