I agree with JoAnn29:
As they say on the airlines, "PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK ON FIRST, so you can help others who can not put on their oxygen mask.
You will be no good to your mother emotionally or physically, if you are too ill to care for her.

I think you need to make other arrangements for Mom. Time for a nursing home. You need to take care of yourself. Stress will weaken your immune system.
