Ways to Make Crohn's a little more liveable

I'm wondering what creative things you or your children do/have done to make their Crohn's treatments a little more enjoyable? I'd love to hear about/see pics when available, of the creative things you're doing.

My daughter has been coloring her Hyfix with colored pencils and each day I find a different artistic picture on her cheek when I come home from work. This is the latest:
 
That is a lovely idea.
I don't have any children and I can't imagine what it must be like watching your child go through this illness.
What is so clear from this forum is that a lot of these young people have great parents (like you) and I am sure that it helps.
All my best wishes to your lovely, creative girl and you. 😎
 
We call it .......Tube Fishing.:)

Grace makes and cuts out paper fish.
Stick a peice of tape to the end of her n-g tube.
And...fishes off the "dock" of our sofa.

Mark, I enjoyed that little cartoon by your son. It's so true. I couldn't find any of your son's other Chron-icles when I searched by his name.

Fishing is a fun idea. Didn't you also decorate her tower something princess-tower-ish? I'd like to see a pic of that...
 
Carol, She is quite an artist.
Mark, That is great, we joke about that too. First breakfast (pills) and bedtime snack (more pills)
