Kerry got one more dose today with a resounding response of shakes and drop in blood pressure. But thanks to modern medicine and the constant vigilance of the nurses, they got things under control pretty quickly (in 2-3 hours) and he is now stable, doing a crossword puzzle and watching the Olympics.
Probably won't have another dose before tomorrow afternoon as it will take them at least that long to wean him off the neosynephrine they use to keep his blood pressure up.
Today's highlight was seeing Kerry do some exercises in bed with the elastic bands the physical therapist provided as a way to keep his muscles from atrophying too much while confined to bed for the week. Seeing him do exercises when he is healthy is a very rare site -- so seeing him do them in a hospital bed was definitely a site to remember.
