My favorite professor is having a health crisis

Hi ya'll.

Looking for some advice; my favorite professor is having a health crisis; a tumor was found and nobody knows yet how serious or benign it might be.

I'm just an undergrad, so I don't know her super personally, though she has been a support person for me in reporting a different professor. She's an absolute gem, not just for her department but for the entire university. I know for sure that I'm not the only one who feels this way at all.

I want to do something nice for her; anything to bring her some comfort or at least a pick-me-up amidst this clusterfuck. My first thought was to collaborate with the rest of her class and get flowers and cards sent to her room when she's in the hospital, but I'm wondering if there are more/better ideas.

Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

\###UPDATE EDIT:

Just thought to edit this with an update even though I know it's a pretty old post now; my professors surgery went well, it turned out to be benign, and she seems to be feeling much better and has been recovering really well. It's been a relief for the entire department and all of the students who know her! We all ended up sending in a hodgepodge of gifts and some money for food during her recovery. Thank you all for your advice and encouragement.

Flowers and cards are actually probably the right move.  It might seem simple or easy or traditional but the medical staff are taking care of immediate needs and for many people something simple is probably the best (lowest stress) option.  You could talk to the main admin for the dept and see if there is something being coordinated at that end (so the cards can be co-delivered).
