Checked In

We are in Bryan's hospital room, but Bryan's chemo isn't ready yet. When he is an inpatient it takes FOR-EV-ER (picture Ham from the Sandlot movie saying it), OK maybe not forever, just several hours for them to prepare the chemo.

Bryan is already nauseous (from yesterday's chemo & the pyschological association of being here) so they gave him some IV medication and he is now sleeping.

I packed the extended versions of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. When Bryan wakes up, we can start the movie marathon. We might even finish by tomorrow morning! (I've found that action packed movies are helpful for distracting Bryan while he's hospitalized. A hospital volunteer brought us the X-Men series on our first visit. We'd never seen those before and it was a fabulous distraction.) I also brought a few baseball documentaries by Ken Burns, not action packed, but very interesting.

While we patiently wait, I'll post a few random pictures.
