Sympathy Gift...but not death-related?

My boyfriend's sister's husband had an accident involving some sort of head trauma a few days ago. He survived, but there is damage; how extensive and how permanent is unknown yet, but it will be a long road to recovery. My boyfriend is going down to visit this weekend. He felt it would be better to feel things out for now and then have me come down another weekend, which is fine. But I do want to send something. What can I send? A card I guess. But what else. Flowers is weird. I looked at 1800flowers and the "Get Well" gift baskets are like teas and other things and obviously directed at the sick person. The funeral stuff is like fruit and cheese and cookies. That seems oddly celebratory, but maybe that's because funeral's are supposed to have a dimension of honoring the person who died. Any ideas? I am considering making a meal of some kind and sending it with my boyfriend, but I don't really cook.

I think a meal or anything that will lessen the load for them as they deal with this would be nice- If you don't cook you could try Omahasteaks.com they have prepared meals you can send
