Please bring cards, board games, handcrafts, books or other things to keep yourself occupied. It is important to keep active. It is our experience that if patients just lie in bed, they have fewer seizures. We have some cartridges and tapes, but you may want to bring some of your own. Please plan enough activities to keep you busy, in a small space, for more than a week.
Most patients are happier when they have lots to do.
Frequent visits from friends and family are encouraged. We request that, if possible, a family member or friend stay with you at all times, while you are in the hospital. Pediatric patients should have a responsible person with them twenty-four hours a day. Most of our patients work out a schedule of shifts for family and friends. We provide one cot and bedding in your room for the observer.
