Take two: She's not well at all

Let’s have a look at this conversation again.  

Ciamar a tha an nighean a ghabh an galar? How is the girl who got sick (took the disease)?
Chan eil i gu math idir. Tha i meadhanach. Tha iad a’ dèanamh dheuchainnean oirre. She’s not well at all. She’s poorly (so–so). They are doing tests on her.
An i an tè air an robh sreothartaich is casad dona an t–seachdain sa chaidh? Is she the one who had [on whom there was] sneezing and a bad cough last week?
‘S i. Agus an cuala tu mun bhràthair aice? She is. And did you hear about her brother?
Chuala. B’ e siud am balach aig an robh cas bhriste. Chaidh e fo(n) lannsa Dihaoine sa chaidh. I did (hear). That was the boy who had the broken leg. He underwent surgery last Friday.
Gu sealladh orm! A bheil e nas fheàrr a–nis? Good heavens! Is he better now?
Tha esan fada nas fheàrr. Bidh e a’ faighinn teiripe–chuirp airson na coise aige. He is much better. He’ll be getting physiotherapy for his leg.
An ann san ionad–slàinte a bhios e a’ faighinn sin? Is it in the health centre he’ll be getting that?
‘S ann. Leis an tè air am bi falt purpaidh gach dàrna seachdain. Tha i uabhasach math air an obair aice! It is. With the woman who has purple hair every second/other week. She is very good at her work!
Nach ann agadsa a tha fios! An i siud an seòrsa teiripe far am bi iad a’ cur snàthadan annad? Don’t you know! [lit isn’t it at you that the knowledge is!]. Is that the sort of therapy where they put needles in you?
Chan i! ‘S e leigheis–snàthaid a tha sin! No it isn’t! That’s acupuncture!
