Twinleaf's post has made me remember that I also dropped both advanced and extension maths, so I was better able to focus on other subjects. In any case, I could no longer follow anything in my maths classes.
In Australia we have a system called Pathways, in which students can split their schooling over two years. Half their subjects are done in one year, the other half in the next. If you have something similar in the US, a lighter load might significantly lower her stress level, which should in turn have a positive effect on her schooling and boost her self-esteem.
Moon might see such a plan as a failure. The emphasis should be on how it is a reasonable and fair accomodation for any student with a serious illness, and how would help her succeed at the level she wants and would otherwise be capable of reaching.
Ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
