I am sorry for the troubles that she is experiencing. I don't want to just recommend an allergist, but a high eosinophil count is usually indicative of some uncontrolled allergy which can often be something in the home environment. Fortunately today there are a number of treatments that can be directed towards the eosinophilia itself. If you haven't done so already, I would also recommend getting anti-allergen pillow and mattress covers as well as a high efficiency air filter for the bedroom and living room.
