food is usually welcome. Especially if it is of the yummy and not particularly healthy variety. You could also ask a nursing supervisor if there is anything they need for their break room that would be acceptable - magazine subscriptions, a small microwave etc.

I think a letter to the hospital administration about the great care he received by the staff would be great too.
