I suggest, if they can afford it, they leave town. Blow off the end of the
school year, be a thousand miles away (or at least 200). Go to some place of
interest to him, eat in interesting cafes, watch cable TV in some air
conditioned hotel room, sleep, smile...

Her sorrow and fear are tearing him up. His teen-stuff (and school
ruination) are tearing her up. They need time off and away from that just as if they
had broken legs or horrible pneumonia or both. They need to be in a
different environment (like a hospital, but a hotel is cheaper) and have some time
to breathe different air without the same routine that's dragging them into a
pit.
