Seems like what she's doing with all the added calories.

It's not just about added calories though, she needs protein and whatnot. And working out wouldn't hurt, as long as she wasn't just doing cardio and burning more fat.

I think she's lifting free weights, using the pull up machine, the leg press, walking incline on the the treadmill, and that's it

Has she been working on it for very long? I imagine if she just keeps it up she should be good.

As long as she's healthy and working at gaining weight in a healthy manner, she'll be absolutely fine.

As long as she's getting the nutrients she needs, and still trying to gain weight, she should be. I mean, the risks say that a weaker immune system, hair falling out, and bone issues can result, but I think those are mostly caused by unhealthy dieting, which she isn't doing.

so it IS possible for someone to remain healthy when they are that much under "normal" weight?

I would think so. 25 pounds under isn't really that much. If it got any worse it would probably be a concern.

Really? I think she's around 5'4" and 97 lbs.
But she does it.
I worry too much about her

She does what?
"Healthy" BMI is considered to be 18.5-24.9, and she's at 16.65. So yes, she's underweight which could have risks, but as I said if she's getting all of her nutrients and taking care of herself it shouldn't be a problem.
