St. Jude patient Zane Rimes, 5, giggles with delight as he is dipped upside down by family friend Judy St. Louis while exploring the Memphis Botanic Gardens in Memphis, Tenn. on the first day of spring.
More than a typical spring day
The day was special for five-year-old Zane Rimes not because it was the first day of spring but because he was not exhibiting symptoms of his leukemia, said his mother, Maranda. Zane has been getting treated at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis for more than a year, but today he was able to run, play and be a regular 5-year-old kid.
