Drs have put her on blood thinners, and are hoping they work instead of surgery. Her mitra-valve is leaking bad.

I suggest you honor HER wishes. Remember it's her life, her choice.
My mother is 94, and a JW. She knows I would never countermand her decisions. It makes for a very nice relationship. It was something she worried about for a long time, because my brother is a militant ex JW, and made it clear he would let them give her blood if anything happened that required it. I was able to change his mind.
I wouldn't want her to be in the position to make that decision for me, so I do what I would want her to do. Let the person choose for themselves.

I agree Mulan, but I don't want her to be pressured to abstain either.
