Michael and Mom Talk Cancer: Episode 12, Rewiring Your Brain

Summary

In this episode, Michael and his mom talk about how coming home takes a little “rewiring of the brain”.  After months in the hospital, coming home is not as easy as they thought it would be.  A chance meeting with a random stranger on the beach, led to a deep conversation about the patience needed to change from an invalid to a young man recovering at home.  Flipping the switch is not immediate, and not simple.  Patience, balance, two of the words that seem to come up over and over again.  Join Michael and his mom Ashlee as they talk through another challenging, but hopefully relatable situation.

        Hi Ashlee,
        I am Fiona’s grandma, John’s mom. Fiona is doing Great and getting ready to start VPK! She is jumping and laughing. My heart is full.
        I especially appreciate your comments and candor about coming home post treatment. It helps me so much. P.S. Madeleine showed me the video of Michael with his Lego Ferrari.
