Small hairbrush or comb. Lots of magazines. Small insirational and calming or funny saying book or write them in a notebook yourself and then she can use the rest for notes herself. Some scratch off lotto tickets??

Also a calling card, incase they don't get cell reception in the hospital, to call to friends and family. A prayer quilt, if you have the time to throw one together, that way she can stay wrapped in love and prayers!

Go to walmart or dollar store and get the travel size of the lotions, mouthwash the give u toothbrush and paste on admission and Kleenex. make sure all this fits in a small bag so she's not lugging around a ton.

I'm from Rochester and I know that she will spend alot of time at the clinic waiting for her appointments. I think everyone's ideas are good. Is she a quilter? If so there is a quilt shop on North Broadway just after the Silver Lake bridge and across from the Silver Lake shopping center (can't think of the name of the shopping center right now, they changed the name of the center). There is a shop in Stewartville on highway 63 South on the right hand side just as you come into the town and then there is one in Racine which is past Stewartville about 6 or 7 miles also on the right hand side of the road. There is also Apache Mall that has many stores just off highway 52 and highway 14 goes right in front of the entrance to the mall.
