Hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes if you have any. And he’ll yeah, I’d bring a stuffed animal if it will give you some comfort 😊

Also, house slippers that are safe but easy to get in and out of so you don’t have to walk on their floors. Flip flops for when you are up for getting a shower. Comfy laze around clothes for when you are feeling better and get tired of mooning everyone with their gown with the split down the back 😬.

List of all your prescriptions ( I would actually bring any inhalers if you use them just in case). My husband was use to taking Tylenol PM at night, the hospital he was in last year didn’t carry it. I slipped some in for him since he reacts badly to sleeping pills. Depending on how busy your area is with COVID-19 ID, I would take in bottles of water, a few health bars, crackers, snack portion of diced peaches etc. If they are understaffed you might not have the normal luxury of getting something to eat when you are hungry.

Puzzle book or books...something to do towards the end of your stay when you can concentrate and need something to do.

Good luck!

Added on edit: face wipes if you have any so you can wash your face if you want without too much trouble.
