You would be surprised, but most doctors do not get many thank you gifts. Most people are unsure of what to give and end up giving nothing. I would make him a quilt for his office. Go all out! Lap quilt is probably the right size. Imagine when patients ask about the quilt and he tells them that a patients wife made it for you. He will be so proud. And the next time a family waits for news, good or bad, he will remember how much it meant to you and yours. Go for it!
