About "immer kränker"
Eine solche Sanierung war von der in der Landwirtschaft kostenaufwendig dilettierenden und immer kränker werdenden Mutter nicht zu erwarten.

immer kränker: here means the mother is sick (physically) or she invested a lot in agriculture but gained nothing/even get worse?

kostenaufwendig: means she invest a lot money or effort or?

dilettierend here means what?

Answer

immer kränker werdend --> becoming more and more sick (physically)

kostenaufwendig --> very expensive

dilettieren --> to do something unprofessionally, mostly without financial success

So on the one hand she put a lot of effort and money into agriculture without success, on the other hand she became more and more sick. So nobody expected her to be able to perform the "Sanierung" in question.
