Cheryl,
One thing comes to mind immediately...
RELAXATION!
This Mom sounds like she is under a lot of stress. Can she obtain a sheet of
biofeedback stickers or a "mood" ring to monitor her stress levels?
She may find that with some good relaxation techniques, she could pump more
effectively and reduce the engorgement as well.

I have found that many mom's who have difficulty pumping are stiff as boards
through their shoulders and neck. Once they relax, the pumping improves,
supply improves, engorgement and plugged ducts improve.
