That wasn't a cough, it's an alien trying to burst out of your chest cavity.

Sounds like you have very fragile bones. You should get that looked at.

Ribcage muscles expanded too far out, I'm guessing she fractured the bottom 2 near the diaphragm

Anyone can fracture a rib if they cough hard enough. Don't need fragile bones for it to happen.

Actually I have done that more times than I want to remember. Of course I have asthma so anytime I get a cold the coughing is worse. My bones are good though.

I learned in CPR/First Aid training from our surgeon instructor that a patient came in to the hospital with cracked ribs. All she did was sneeze. They found out she had osteoporosis. So #4 is right, OP should (most likely already has) go to the hospital.
