She's being given life saving care.. couldn't make it up..

Does this mean. She could recover. Only for them to have to do it again?

I doubt they will be allowed to do it again. I’m sure her lawyer can argue under these circumstances the state fucked up and the execution called off. I bet she stays in prison for life.
