Howdy Gene—
The one thing you have not told us is why Mavis's daughter is threatening to cut her off from family contacts if you return. It is quite possible you may not know yourself, but you have to find out.
About the only thing I can suggest, not knowing any of you personally, is this: Get on the phone and talk to all of Mavis's children, and (if they are of age) the grandchildren. Explain what Mavis's daughter has done, and ask to them to intervene so you can go home. After all, if they are willing to help, then the daughter's threat will have no force, and Mavis's fear can be alleviated with reassurances from the rest of the family that they support your coming home.
If the rest of the family are behind Mavis and agree with her, then this avenue will be a dead end. Perhaps you have already tried it. But either way, let us know.
Others here have offered good advice re legal/professional services, etc. But it sounds like the key is Mavis's family itself.
First thing of course is to get over the pneumonia. Know that you have the support of this community, and keep your chin up.
