What to get my brother-in-law as a get well gift?

My sister's husband is only in his early 30s and has been in and out of the hospital due to a fairly serious condition. There's not a lot of research on it, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. Anyway, I'd like to send him something to let him know i care, but something more than just a card. I need ideas for gift baskets or anything that would be appropriate for a man in his late 20s/early 30s for this occasion. Guys, what would you appreciate if you were in this condition? Keep in mind, we live several states away.

One of the things I'd do is send him a gas card for his wife. You can send it to him or her. It gets really expensive to go back and forth. A gift card for food at a favourite restaurant or one that is near the hospital could also help. This all depends on their financial situation but it is a gift that can be used and appreciated especially if the extras are putting additional stress on the family. What about music? An itunes card for his ipod (if he has one) or burn a CD of his favourite songs (if you know him well) for the drives or CD player. A music store gift card if he doesn't download would also be good. Does he love to read? I had relatives in hospital and would stop by the local thrift store and stock up on pocket books that they could toss when they were finished. The book store also has audio tapes. These are a few ideas but I wish him a speedy recovery and strength for your family.
