I do have one question though. Since she still hasn't been able to pee on her own, will she be okay before the vet expresses her bladder again? I'm asking this because I know when male cats become blocked it's very important to get them to a vet and unblocked asap because the urine can build up in their systems and eventually kill them. Maybe females are different.
To be honest, I'm not sure, but I DO know that if you aren't comfortable or experienced with manually expressing a bladder you shouldn't do it because it can be very easy to rupture it, and that of course would cause a whole new world of problems for this little girl.

HOWEVER!! I went in to show my MIL that she went to the bathroom just now, and discovered along with defecating earlier -- SHE URINATED!!!!! Again, not a whole lot, but she urinated!!!

She has a vet appointment tomorrow, I'm sure the Doc will manually express her again and/or hopefully do something to help remove some of the feces, and I will also speak with an instructor about showing me how to manually express bladders in case I need to help and will feel comfortable with doing it.
