O/T: is it necessary to write thank yous for get well gifts, flowers, etc. ?

I always sent thank you cards for gifts I received, with the exception of cards and some simple casual things that I said thank you for in person. Since I've been home from school I've been receiving food, flowers, and any number of thoughtful things - some delivered in person and some by third parties. I don't mind writing thank yous once I can get out and buy some, but it's a bit hard to keep track since some of it came from groups of parents of students and such. I'm not sure if it's worse to send none or risk leaving someone out. Any thoughts or rules about this? BTW- I do have access to the home addresses of my students.
