My little brother's good friend--a kid I used to babysit--was injured very badly in an accident earlier this week. He has some serious arterial and tissue damage in his legs, and his pelvis is broken in several places. He is in the ICU right now, but unlike many ICU patients, he is alert, and he can move his head, arms, and upper body.

His family has asked that he have as many visitors as possible as he is very lonely, bored, and depressed. He is 16 years old and loves to ski and play sports, so this debilitating injury has been really hard on him psychologically as well as physically. Most of his friends are two hours away, but I am nearby, so I thought I'd visit him a copule times over the weekend and see what I could do to entertain him a little and cheer him up. I'm a little unsure as to what to do/bring for him, so I would really appreciate any (relatively inexpensive) suggestions my fellow PS'ers might have.
