53) When will it be Spring? (At long last)

Book found in Pediatrics with quite the poignant title

On Tuesday April 17th, we were at our satellite hospital in Scarborough for bloodwork. A bit of snow blew in while we were waiting for results, and we happened to find a children's book with a title that fit the current weather: "When will it be Spring?"

E has been fighting a cold for the past 10 days or so. No cough, but his nose has been running like a tap. I fully expected that the results would find him neutropenic, meaning our trip to SickKids would be bumped. Surprisingly, and happily, I ended up being wrong with my prediction. Everything came back fine, and all counts were within the normal range. We'd be off to SickKids the next day for a lumbar puncture and chemo. E's frontline leukemia treatment was now complete, and at long last, he'd be starting Maintenance!
