With her nails so clearly involved in whatever her health crisis is, I would not put more enhancements on her until she knows what's going on. I don't know what causes soft spongy nails, but that sounds like a very fragile surface to me and maybe best treated only with gentle products and treatments. If they weren't lifting it would be different. Under the circumstances you have outlined, if it was my client I wouldn't give her more artificial nails.
Do keep us posted on how this develops, I haven't encountered an issue like this before.
