A High School senior just missed her homecoming because she was in the hospital recovering from brain surgery. So instead, 17-year-old Megan Krafty's community and the Cleveland Clinic brought a homecoming to her.
Last Friday, wearing a sparkly pink dress, ushered in by her Dad, Megan went to homecoming in the hospital. Her boyfriend Tommy brought a pink rose and matching corsage. The staff at Cleveland Clinic learned Megan loves Christmas and went all out.
The hospital staff made sure Megan got some of those special moments she wanted, twirling with Tommy out on the dance floor. On Wednesday afternoon, Megan had another kind of homecoming. Weeks after, doctors removed 70% of a golf ball-sized glioma tumor from her brain. The next step is radiation.
The local Police and Fire Department, football team, volleyball team, neighbors, friends, her entire family and the Huron High School marching band lined block after block, cheering her on.
"It's crazy seeing all the support that I have," Megan said.
