When Sara Wiley visits the hospital because of her cystic fibrosis, breathing treatments and many hours in her room fill her days.
It's important that the 15-year-old gets a chance to relax and have some fun. Now she and other teens at the Nebraska Medical Center have a new place to do it.
The hospital on Wednesday officially opened a renovated and expanded teen activity room. Teens had shared another room with younger patients.
The new room has 1950s theme complete with a jukebox, neon lights and a table that looks like a record album. It also features an electronic dart board, a video game system, Internet access and a flat-screen TV.
"It's really, really cool," said Wiley, who's from Early, Iowa. "I like the jukebox."
