What would you like in a goody bag...

[medicmommy]

If you were 12 or a parent of a 12 yo in the hospital?

Some acquaintance/ friends of ours have a 12 yo that's been in the hospital for a week. They haven't been able to diagnose her yet. High fever, elevated liver enzymes, rash... most of the tests are normal. Sounds like they will be a bit longer.

DD11 and I are putting together a goody bag with puzzle books, playing cards, snacks, maybe lotion and lip gloss. Anything else? I'm not sure if she has an iPod or anything there with her.

books and games.

Hope they figure out her situation soon <3

Teen magazines! Candy. Fruits. Cookies.

Itunes gift cards, Amazon.com gift cards, nail polish/manicure set.

Def teen magazines. Also a box of blank greeting cards and some fun pens and stickers so she can write letters.

Poor thing I had those exact symptoms when I was pregnant and I was in the hospital for a week. It sucked so hard and I just wanted to go home. BTW, they never figured out what is was.

Magazines, candy, book, maybe some markers and a sketch pad?

Plus lots of visitors. Not one person other than my husband visited me and it was depressing.

Snacks, crossword puzzle (or other of that type) books, puzzles they can do together. A little craft kit from Walmart.

Thanks all! Good ideas. I was drawing a blank. I hope she likes One Direction. I let Tori pick out the magazine and didn't pay attention until we were checking out. $10 and nothing inside besides OD.

calamity Have you ever had problems with it after that? It's so weird. She's been sick almost a month and in the children's hospital about a week. They are doing a liver biopsy this afternoon.

puddleofgrace I still love to color, but prefer my own crayons. The kids always color uneven and mess them up. lol

No problems since, although there is a growth on my liver they think it's benign.  Once in a while I do have pain there and I always worry that it will go wonky again.

It sucks not knowing whats wrong with you, especially with something so crucial as your liver.

I hope they are able to get some answers soon!
