nah they let you have cards but no balloons, I lived there for three weeks. usually there is a shelf or a wall that things can be taped up on. just a thought. people who are allowed into her room usually only family could bring them to show her and with luck she will be out of there in no time. they treat you pretty darned good in those places. takes a special type of nurse to work with you there. My card goes in the mail today
