Just adding some trans fluid shouldn't effect the idle like that. Something else is al play here. Did she drive threw any water? What is the idle doing? Is it just running slow? Or is it jumping around?

Yes, check the EGR for vacuum leaks, one tube comes from the rear exhaust mainfold and the other goes to the LIM. If no leak then check for a stuck pintle in the EGR. Another thing to check is the PCV valve.
