Welcome
Yes, she needs to regain her strength. Losing weight that quickly weakened her.

If she will accept between meal oral low fat supplements, that would be one way to increase calories,protein & vitamins/minerals needed for energy metabolism.

Acitrom is an anticoagulent .Caffeinated drinks, leafy greens, cauliflower, tomatoes, legumes, soy, will interfere with Acitrom treatment.

With oral supplements Ensure and Boost contain higher vitaminK levels so choose a non-soy based low fat supplement without K or small amts & then consistency of vit K intake important.

Starting with this routine should get her back on the road to healing.
