Yes, she needs to hire counsel IMMEDIATELY

Counsel will be able to determine if initial 72-hour commitment process correctly done, if and when any hearings were involved in any commitment processes, if there were any due process violations, if her husband's long-term commitment has already started, if any court of competent jurisdiction ordered same, etc., etc

Good luck
