The good news is that Kerry has a room with a great view. The sunset tonight was amazing. And its probably the most expensive room in town. Too bad its in the hospital.
The first dose went pretty well and he got a second dose at 11 pm.
Sean, Tracy and Keenan -- Kerry's brother and family -- have been in town helping out and stayed with Kerry at the hospital today while I worked. Sean took his guitar and Kerry's banjo to the hospital and they played until Kerry got his 3 pm dose. Apparently there are no hospital rules against bluegrass music -- yet. Kerry said the only complaint was from a nurse who said they weren't loud enough. (My theory is that the patients were all too weak too complain.)
It should be a crazy around here since Seth starts college on Thursday. We have done most of the pre-college shopping, but I'm not sure he realizes that he needs to figure out what he is taking and pack. He is spending every waking moment with his friends saying goodbye and trying (with some sadness) to move on. I think it will prove to be an emotional week for us all -- Seth saying farewell to his current life, our oldest son leaving home, the realization that Kerry and I will have to figure out how to operate the computer, and writing the enormous check to pay for Seth's education (while he is mostly focused on how much FUN he is going to have.) All this while Kerry is in the hospital -- wish us luck.
Good luck to everyone! And call the minute you need help/backup/etc. etc. etc.

I'm glad the banjo went to the hospital; it should have some interesting things to say about the experience. At the moment, staring at piles of boxes, wondering where my food, clothes, and other essentials are, a stay in the hospital might be a fair trade-off.
