Hospital gift for man (ie NO FLOWERS)

[JLiebCamm]

It really depends on the hospital and how strict they are. At my hospital I've seen toddlers running around on the ICU (not exactly a good idea...) and nursing doesn't say a word. But I'm from a smaller town and things are pretty laid back here. As for your friend, I can't imagine that seeing your son could do anything but brighten his spirits.

Thank you! He's an incredibly strong person, just amazing. He has already lost a leg to cancer. I met him after he lost his leg, and it never occurred to me he would have more problems. I guess I just thought, my goodness, how much more should one person have to deal with? He is pretty low key, not a jolly person, with kind of a dark, dry sense of humor, but he doesn't let this stuff overwhelm him, even though he is and probably will be in a great deal of pain every day for the rest of his life. I am amazed at his resilience!
