I'm glad I could help!! If staying two extra days makes the entire package less because of a cheaper flight, I would deduct the entire amount. In the case of an audit, you (or your C.P.A.) can explain that to IRS agent. As far as meals go, according to IRS Publication 502, only those that are served in the hospital as part of in-patient care are deductible. Here is a link to that publication:
