Don't forget your lap top or iPad so you can keep in touch. You can Skype or do FaceTime with your husband if you are there longer than you think. It looks like you have the sewing projects packed and ready to go which will be a sanity saver. How is your Dad on the iPad/ computer? It may be a chance to get him familiar with it so he has something to do while recuperating and so he can stay in touch later.
