Gifts for baby after surgery

Hi ladies, I haven't posted as much b/c I've been very busy of work.

A friend of mine has a son born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.  He has the second of his three surgeries, the Glenn, in May.  He'll need one more surgery but I think that's in a couple years.

A mutual friend (she's closer w/the mom than I am, but said she was asking me b/c I was also a mom) asked me what gifts she should buy for him (he's 5 months now). 

Aside from books and toys, I'm not really sure what to suggest.  I think any gift would be welcome by his parents.

Any other ideas? TIA!

    Someone gave us a little stuffed sheep that we put in DS's isolette to keep watch over him.  Something like that might be nice.

    If they want to give something to the parents, a nice thing would be to order some meals for them so they don't have to worry about making dinner.  A friend ordered us a few meals from HomeBistro.com.  They came frozen and were easy to cook - just put the plastic pouch in boiling water.  The food was really delicious.
