Melissa Fleming will talk about her son Brock who fell and hit his head while walking the dog, suffered a severe concussion and a short time later, was diagnosed with DIPG

from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Melissa and James Fleming's son Brock was out for a simple walk with James and his sister Jenna on May 4th of 2016 when he fell and hit his head. Brock suffered a severe concussion, one that was so bad that for a brief time he called his mother DAD, and his father, MOM. Everything looked fine in his neurological examination but when Brock smiled, his doctor was concerned and sent him to have an MRI. Unfortunately the MRI showed that Brock had DIPG, the worst form of Pediatric Brain Cancer.Brock's mom Melissa will talk about Brock and his DIPG Battle which came to an end when he passed away on December 10th of 2016, just 7 months after his original diagnosis.
