My own Sanitizing stuff (Just to be extra careful)
Magazines (Maybe she'd like a few back yard or something with animals in it?)
People suggest to take my pillow and I didn't. Theirs was flat...ick...

I think everyone on here has already given you some good ideas...
(Don't forget to take things for you too...)

Wow, Tara, that is some great information you posted! We haven't had any hospitalizations yet, but this is a great list of things to remember when that day comes for us. I never would have thought of asking the doctor to prescribe IV times ...

I'm going to paste your response into our medical journal so I will remember when the time comes. Thanks!

this has already been said but definately bring your own clothes, you don't want to be wearing those stupid hospitol gowns that leave your butt hanging out. They smell funny too. Another plus of your own clothes is you can go outside for a while if you want to, you'll lose your mind after a few days in there without getting out. Bring something comfortable and bring extras or arrange to wash them. Your own toiletries are also a big thing, soap, shampoo, toothbrush, etc. all this has been said already but are important and so are games and something to keep you from going crazy

Maybe pick up some of those little craft packets you can buy at JoAnn Fabrics or Michaels - everything needed for the project is in the one packet. They have foam stickers you can stick on foam sun visors etc or little sewing cards where kids can learn to sew and they're only a buck or two. Since you haven't been in the hospital before you might want to call ahead and ask them if they have DVD players in the rooms, a shower in each room that the parents are permitted to use, refrigerators that the family can use. All hospitals are set up differently and some only have showers in the hallways for the parents (royal pain in the tush) and not all of them have mini-fridges in the rooms. But if you know that ahead of time it will be helpful. I always bring sweatpants and t-shirts for me to sleep in instead of my nicer bedroom atire since I might have to hunt down a nurse in the middle of the night and don't want to go out in the hall scantily clad. Don't forget to rent some DVDs for yourself also. After my son goes to sleep at night I look forward to watching a more adult movie after watching Disney all day. I actually catch up on all the movies that I have wanted to rent, but never get to because my hubby doesn't like romantic movies or anything that was nominated for an Academy Award.
