Half Way Mark

Kerry completed 7 of his 14 doses of Interluken 2 today. He is tolerating it pretty well -- still feels feverish a few hours after the dose, but they are now giving him medication which has stopped the chills. Major pastime is sleeping -- or at least trying to sleep. During the day, there's always a friend or family member here -- and plenty of nurses to prod him and give him meds around the clock.  Seth thought he should have the banjo at the hospital and play it in his free time.  Kerry had to explain that other patients may not feel the healing power of the banjo the way that he does.

For those of you that know about the severe neck problems Kerry has had the last couple of weeks, I wanted to mention that his neck is substantially better.

Thanks for all of your kind thoughts and deeds.  We have felt well supported with meals, cards, e-mails, and friends to spell me at the hospital.
