回复：You seem to be concerned about

Where to have the hospital notice notarized. I don't know where your mom lives now, but I lived in Beijing and had all necessary documents notarized there. In Beijing, you can bring the original Chinese document and cash. The office will translate the document into English and then notarize the authentity of both the document and the translation. Ask a relative or close friend to do this and then send it to you via overnight express mail. It should take less than a week.

I love my mom very much and feel really sorry for you.
