happy.halloween!

I donated platelets today, and though I didn't plan it, loved that I was there on halloween! All the sick children who were mobile got dressed up and trick-or-treated around the hospital. The blood donor center had a bucket of candy, as did most of the offices and departments, and a lot of the doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff dressed up too. The children came in and out in their costumes, and were so happy. It must have helped them to have some normalcy in their lives- despite the wheelchairs, iv's and other medical devices, they're still kids who want to dress up and get a crapload of candy. Who wouldn't?
