I love your ideas about getting something for both children. The six year old must be terrified and would likely enjoy a little attention. My son is 4 1/2 and at 3, he was all into Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Sesame Street, and trucks. Those would all be good bets. Even a stuffed toy might be nice for him to have something to hold onto.
Another idea I have - and I don't know if this is tacky or not, but I would most likely send a nice card with some cash in it. In the note just say - use it for whatever you need right now.
Another idea would be to talk to the family and set up a trust fund for Ian to help pay for his medical expenses. If each family member threw in $10 or $20, it may add up to a nice little sum.
Let us know. I will pray for sweet little Ian. No child should have to suffer like that.
