I just found out one of my friends has been on bed rest for 2 weeks, and has to stay there for at LEAST another 10 weeks! She says there people at her house all the time, helping her with the kids and the housework etc, but she's still lonely.

I don't want her to get too depressed, and I want to help her out however I can. It sounds like everyone has the day to day things settled, but I decided to make a 'survival kit' for her - and I need help putting it together!

She said she has a million puzzle books, so I stayed away from those, but I've bought her 3 beginners knitting kits that seemed pretty cool - baby hat and mittens, scarf and beret for herself, and a baby blanket. I was also going to offer to come over and cook dinner at her house once a week, and stay with her to eat so she has company and her DH doesn't hafta cook that night.

Can you think of anything else? ALL help is welcome
