My hubby just completed his infusions for leukemia..a generous lap size is fine...something that will fit her from neck to toes while sitting in a recliner. Hubby's feet & hands were very cold...especially at the infusion site...so if your DSIL is getting a port in her arm, chest, etc...she will need that covered.

What do you think would be the best style/dimensions?

Any other hints? E.g., should I attach some kind of pockets for books or whatever?

Thank you so much in advance!
