I need advice, please!
One of my best friends (39F) was just diagnosed with MS. She said it’s “mild” and is beginning her treatment in a couple of weeks. She’s doing six hours at the hospital with the IV treatment.
I’d like to, along with some other friends, put together a care package for her first treatment. I’m not sure how it will affect her and what might be good. Here are some things I’ve considered but I would LOVE feedback so I can get her some things she will enjoy or use.
- Gourmet cookies or cupcakes
- Flowers
- Lotions
- Some sort of activity books
- A book
Please forgive me for misusing any language regarding this. I’m still learning about this.
ETA: In response to some of the comments so far.
The care package and things will be delivered a day or two prior to her treatment.
Her mom will be with her at the hospital and staying with her for a bit during the treatment window. She’s also married with a cute 2 year old son. Her food will be taken care of but she does have a sweet tooth, which is why I thought of the cookies.
Lastly, I’m getting so many more responses than I expected! Thank you all. I’m doing my best to reply to all but will definitely at least be reading every one. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
