I have a question re my mom's status. She left USA in Oct 2001 and she is planning to come back to the US next month. Is there any problem with her GC or can she still come back without any problem.

There is no problem with her GC. The reason why she overstayed because my Dad 's health is deteriorating.My dad is USC and they had a choice to stay in ASIA but will come back once a year . His emphysema is getting worse to the point he couldn't be in a plane anymore.

No. If a greencard holder stays outside of the U.S. for more than 12 months, he or she is considered to have abandoned the greencard. This is not a law written in stone, but it is the INS interpretation. An LPR can stay for up to 2 years if permission is gained from the INS first.
I do not have experience of your mother's situation, but I agree that bringing the medical evidence is better than coming with none.
See an experienced lawyer first if you can.
