Kenan had a whole bunch of visitors today! It started with Drew showing up and was followed by a couple playing a guitar and singing "The Climb". This was sung by a two DOOK senior medical students. This took everything that Kenan had not to laugh during the song. Soon after the couple left she had Anna, Joanna, Catherine and Brian (Anna's Boyfriend) enter the room singing "I heard it through the grapevine". This is because the girls were the California Raisins for Halloween in college. The girls had t-shirts made that had "team kenan" on the front and "Half a Liver is Still a Whole Lot of Fun" (see picture). They also got her a personalized t-shirt that has "Kenan 2 Cancer 0". This brought a tear to Sue's eye.
After giving everyone a hug, her bridesmaid Ashley surprised her by flying in from Alberquerque, NM. They all brought her their own presents. She received a Justin Beiber life size VIP party poster that we put on the outside of the door to make the nurses/other patients jealous of the party. Other thoughtful gifts included a New Mexico oven mitt, NM koozies, UNC fleece blanket, Garden & Gun magazines, chocolates, home made cookies, turquoise ring and Hard Work by Roy Williams (sorry if I missed one or two). All of these things should be able to keep us occupied for hopefully only a couple of more days! One unique present was a joke a day from children that Joanna works with on a daily basis. One example: "Why did the students eat their homewerk?" "because the teter (teacher) said it was karake (cake)".
Thanks y'all for the great and thoughtful gifts. It has made everyone jealous on our floor of all of the fun we are having in our room.
