Hi SC, sorry to hear about g/d, how is she today? Little ones can go up and down so quickly so I guess the hospital is the best place for her just so they can keep an eye on her.
I think getting a lawyer is the best thing you could have done. I am proud of you. Whatever it costs will be worth it. I eventually did the same and I smile to myself now (although NOT at the time) when I said to her I probably didn't need her to do much as my x was basically an honourable man----whoops I got that wrong big time. So good for you, one step at a time on the looking after "me" road. Not meaning that in a selfish kind of way, just self preservation and being kind to yourself.
Take good care and try not to be hard on yourself. If you stumble and fall on this new road that's ok. I think the Chinese say, fall down 7 times but get up 8!
