Answer
You are doing a good job. I can tell you really care about her. There are two things you should do as soon as possible to help her:
1. Hand feed her this slurry recipe http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=978
It should help her gain some strength back.
2. Take her to the vet.
Geckos don't refuse to eat for no reason. She may have parasites or a harmful disease. See if any local veterinarians will examine exotic animals.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact me again.
