too subtle? lol.
No peaking Francisca.
Soooo, it sounds like she is having a rough go of it and is stuck in the hospital for the forseeable future and at least until those cupcakes come. Has anyone talked about putting together a care package or something for her? I think she needs some love. Thoughts?

Who has spent time on bedrest and has some insight on what might be helpful/uplifting?
I've got her husband's work address/phone, so we can make sure that someone is there to get whatever we send. If we sent to the house, without her there, it might not get received.
Im in too...
Hmm some good movies?! Books, Magazines, music a digital photo frame for pics of harmon? what else?
Edible Arrangments? lol
We could just ask what hospital shes staying at and the room #, and that way she could get packages there...
Im not sure she would want to post it but she may give it to you in private
I am sure shes looking here, she has to. If I were her I sure would!
Francisca, I see you peaking
lol
i'm in.
I'm in too.
Count me in too!
I would like to contribute, too.?
Here are some things that I enjoyed receiving when I was on bedrest in the hospital for 8 weeks.
stamps, cards, thank you cards
snacks - candy, microwave popcorn, crackers
magazines, books
someone gave me a netflix subscription and I used my laptop
handheld games - blackjack, suduku
puzzle books with word searches and crosswords?
?
I believe Francisca is dyslexic and word searches/crosswords might be frustrating. (They are for my sister who is dyslexic.)
(I havent read all the responses yet....)
How about sending someone in to do her nails or give her a facial? Contact a local spa? Then maybe hubby can bring by a nice dinner.

I love these two beautiful children!
Ooh! Idea! Theme package! (inspired by pp's blackjack game idea)
Let's send her Vegas in a box! I know she misses Las Vegas sometimes, so let's send her a little of what she's missing.
The handheld blackjack, texas hold 'em, etc., games.
I know we've got a chocolate place here that makes chocolate poker chips.
Magic tricks (a la her former employer).
Any other ideas?
Count me in, and I think this is a great idea! We can send a card to that is very heartfelt and special to go along with it.
If not this idea, I think cool books and a journal and a package from Edible Arrangements or Cheryl's Cookies would be nice.
Okay, that didn't work. He used her email. Damn it.
But we are not thwarted. I'm still getting the dirt. I'll let you know when I have it.
Got it.
Now we need an expert. Anyone here from/know El Paso? I'm looking for a manicure-to-go and haven't found one, but thought someone with expertise in the area might be able to point us in the right direction.
Is there a local board for that area that maybe you could post this on??!?!?!
Ugh! My local board is dead, so I forget all about them. Thanks!
Well....I didn't see a local board for that area.
