She is taking breathing treatment like 6 times a day. She is on that new medicine Remodulin for PAH, also Traceer, Revoduio no sure of the spelling and while she not in the hospital she is on O2 24hrs a day @ 4 liters. So what can be the problem. This is the 6 times in the last 3 months being in the hospital. WHile in the hospital this time she has gotten a real bad rash and her voice is realluy bad. What can be done now?

That is a question that no one really can answer except for her team at best. It all depends on how she responds on treatment. An O2 level in the 60's isn't good, especially if it is lasting. I am sure that her doctors are titrating her O2 levels to keep her as oxygenated as possible along with giving her medications to help her heart and PAH.
I wish I could help more,
