If her T3 T4 are normal and TSH is 9.667 it's subclinical hypothyroidism . Usually no treatment is initiated if it's below 10 unless she has some symptoms and she has risk factors related to bp diabetes and heart issues.In such situations treatment is initiated at lowest dose of elthroxin under the supervision If she has none of them , periodical check for TSH level is all what's required
