If she is too ill to travel, that would be the only way to allow her to stay here after her vistor status expires.  You could petition for her to immigrate if you are a US citizen, but it takes about 10 years for a visa number to become available for this familiy category.

If your husband is seeking a temporary stay in the U.S. only, then the appropriate visa would depend on the nature and purpose of his trip to the U.S. If your husband is interested in U.S. Permanent Residency, then you would file an I-130 Immigrant Petition for an immediate relative. Please note that filing an I-130 could have adverse implications on his ability to visit the U.S. in certain temporary (nonimmigrant) statuses so the timing of any application needs careful consideration.

If your parents are in the US without authorization and have been for over a six months, they will need a waiver.  You first need to petition for them using form I-130 (one for each of them), then, once that is approved and ready for processing, you may apply for the waiver (which requires proving extreme hardship to a US citizen spouse or child).  If the waiver is approved, they would need to travel outside the US to get an immigrant visa in their passports, but they would return as permanent residents.  The process will take at least a year.
