Write a four line poem about: assurances.
I think this is the end of Part II for my yearlong poem, but I might need another week before I can get back to Buddy.

The exercise:
Write about: the normal range.
Miles had his first blood test in three weeks today. His numbers had gone from 51 to 58 to 67 in his previous tests so they wanted to give him a break now that he was trending in the right direction.
Based on that trajectory we were hoping/expecting him to be in the high 80s or low 90s this time around. The normal range is 105 to 130.
He came back at 107 today.
BC Children's called to say his results were 'pristine' and that they'd like a follow up test done in three months.
Best. Possible. News.
