And of course, they’re in a chatty mood wondering all about you and what you’re in town for. It was the last thing that I was in the mood for leaving St Jude that [&#8230;]]]></description>

Since my last podcast, I’ve come across the biggest question yet in my life with my seven year old son William’s brain and spine cancer diagnosis called medulloblastoma.

The second period is radiation (proton therapy) at St. Jude – 30 treatments to be specific, focused on the remaining tumors in his brain and spine. Third period ahead is chemotherapy, but the focus now is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[William’s battle songs. He’s always liked these songs, but they now have a much more profound meaning. As we drive around Memphis on the weekends, I see his beautiful face in the back of the car singing and we talk about what these words mean to him now. His favorite battle song is “Whatever It [&#8230;]]]></description>

He arrived home to a massive pile of Lego, get well cards, and hockey swag. My family and I cannot relay how much we’ve appreciated the [&#8230;]]]></description>

He’s upright again, moving around, crushing physical therapy, and of course, building Lego. Naomi and I continue to be overwhelmed by our friends, family, and community.

Iron Heart’s large “weed” (as Grandpa calls it) was fully removed and confirmed by MRI. He’s already building his new Lego Audi (with his left hand again, two days after brain surgery) around his physical therapy and progressing [&#8230;]]]></description>

As a husband, father, athlete, coach, medical device professional, and writer, I thought I had leaned into incredible feats of adversity philosophically and in my own life.

As William has strengthened and inspired me more in the last week than I’ve ever been in my life, I thought I would share some encouragement from Iron Heart’s pre-surgical protocol: Build full Lego Police Station with non-dominant hand (Lego building sucks [&#8230;]]]></description>
