Since she's worked only 3 months this year and will only work a total of perhaps 6(and those second three at a considerably lower wage than before) her AGI will be pretty low -- is it going to be worth deducting it?

Sorry to hear about it. IMO (check with a paid tax professional here, folks!) I'd go for it. Why not.
She could only deduct it if she itemizes. If she uses standard deduction, you can't itemize. Keep all your receipts and keep track.
Hope she starts doing better.
