Brief Answer:
blood pressure is okay

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 so her blood pressure is quite good. Pneumonia can make you very weak for quite some time. Unless she is feeling very sort of breath or has a very high fever then I think she can wait until tomorrow morning to see her doctor.
I hope she is better soon.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
