Thanks to all for the great responses and heartfelt concern for my friend's
family.  I have tracked her down a free Lactina rental through WIC (which
I'm hoping she'll be eligible for, although she hasn't applied yet.)  It
helps that the IBCLC at WIC responsible for pump rental is a friend and
also knows this mom, so will help her any way she can.  She'll get another
double kit from WIC, and I'll give her one of mine as well, so she can have
3 kits available to decrease her washing time hopefully.
I think just supply and pumping issues-wise this mom is doing well and
storing extra milk above his needs at this point.  I may be back asking
about getting baby to breast if he improves enough!
Emotionally, mom and dad are having a hard time.  As their family doc also,
I will have the opportunity to work with them long-term.  I'm glad that one
thing I can say unequivocally in this situation is that providing her milk
to this little one can only be a benefit to him, and to her own feelings as
his mother!  It's one thing that feels normal to her in this terrible
situation.
