Betsy:
Head position during sleep has been a concern of mine since my surgery. I am wondering if a soft collar for sleep would help. I also use Tempurpedic cervical and side sleeper pillows--these help but don't absolutely prevent ending up in weird positions.
Runner's advice re ice seems appropriate but at this point, post-surgery, I would wonder if your daughter's pain meds need to be adjusted. It is important to keep ahead of the pain with the meds.
Wishing your daughter all the best in her recovery.
