Woman calls and stirs everyone up with "YOU ALL HAVE TO GO TO SEE JON STRAIGHT AWAY HES BEEN RUSHED TO HOSPITAL WITH KIDNEY STONES HE COULD BE DIABETIC HE COULD HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK!". Yes, it was kidney stones, what's with the rest of the panic?? Jon is her ex-husband and has been for about 20 years.
Same woman says her teenage son has motor neurone disease. I said he doesn't, it's a terminal degenerative disease. Ten years on, it seems I was right.
Same woman exposes her grandchildren to known allergens, some of which are potentially life-threatening. On these occasions she seems to be trying to create drama to draw attention to herself.
Apart from this she seems pretty normal... not likeable, but I guess she's normal!

You seem to be describing munchhousins by proxy pretty well. Some people will actually hurt a child, in order to 'rescue' the child, then rush child to the doctor with totally an emotional outburst, each time. These children are sometimes, actually killed by the person who cares for them, in order to get the pity and sympathy they require. This is a mental disorder that can kill other people.

No the woman has some mental problems. She needs to get help right away. I mean fast if she is exposing her grandchildren to potentially life-threatening allergens. It might be MBP but a doctor would have to say.

If she seems to be trying to get attention without caring about the health of her grandchildren, I would say YES!.
