I like to hang it on the wall in the hospital room and right a message on it. Then as people come to visit they can add their own pictures and messages. It brightens up the dreary, institutional room. Best wishes to them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hospital-care-package-ideas#post-1455568 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:18:35 +0000 lizzywiz 1455568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dagny: if it's not too late: a zip up hoodie vest or jacket with pockets for LO. It is easy on and off, easy to open for exams and was super helpful to store tubing and various medical connecting type stuff in her hood and pockets when she was unhooked from machines but still had leads. She was walking but if he is crawling they will have the same tubing problem (if he has those kinds of leads).<br /> Does that make since? lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hospital-care-package-ideas#post-1448124 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:42:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1448124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instant Starbucks coffees-Via, I think it's called?</p> <p>Disposable coffee cups: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/dixie-perfectouch-grab-n-go-combo-pack-14-ct/-/A-12969864#prodSlot=medium_1_11&#038;term=disposable" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/dixie-perfectouch-grab-n-go-combo-pack-14-ct/-/A-12969864#prodSlot=medium_1_11&#038;term=disposable</a> cups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-hospital-care-package-ideas#post-1448089 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:30:28 +0000 Dagny 1448089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are fantastic ideas, thank you everyone!
