13 mm stone may obstruct her Bile duct and that seems to be the reason of elevated Bilirubin. If she is passing chalky white stools, that supports obstructive Jaundice. You may need an early surgical intervention instead of waiting till next month.

Further evaluation is needed for your mother after consulting a physician as soon as possible. More blood investigation and imagining is needed.
