Is it permissible for a mother to give the expiation (kaffarah) for the days she missed fasting in Ramadan to her needy son or to another family member?

The reason your mother's doctor prevented her from fasting must be considered. If it is an illness from which recovery is hoped, then she must make up the missed fasts after recovery, and no expiation (feeding) is required of her. However, if her illness is incurable, then she must feed one poor person for each day, and it is not permissible for you or your siblings to receive this expiation.
