Sympathy like. I hope she's doing better.
For coughing at night, try having her sleep propped up against some pillows. She'll probably cough less sleeping that way. It's not the most comfortable, but it helps. Also, if you have a humidifier, try running it at night when she's sleeping. That should help as well. And yes, your doctor is correct in telling you to expect the coughing.
I had cough variant asthma as a child (still have asthma, though it's evolved into a different form) and have had bronchitis periodically throughout my life and pneumonia once, so I know how your daughter feels. I have one of those lovely nebulizers sitting next to my bed and a portable nebulizer that lives in my car. It's miserable sometimes.
i have no desire to check and see how much, none what so ever. We've already gotten word school is at the very least delayed a couple of hours and my dh got a text stating he can take unscheduled leave today if he so desires due to road conditions. The only upsides at this point are I have already heard the plow and it's still snow not ice. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
