(I have cystic fibrosis) unfortunately the situation sounds fairly serious. Six liters of 02 is a lot and should get the oxygen saturation back up to 95%. 90% isn’t deadly by far but the fact that she’s taking 6L to achieve it is a bit alarming.

I’m sending good vibes to your sister and hoping she gets better soon!
