‘In My Head There Is The Old Alex And The New Alex’; Family’s ‘New Normal’ Evolving With Community’s Help

OCEAN CITY – Amy Wood remembers having an almost out-of-body experience the moment her 4- year-old son’s pediatrician uttered the words that changed her family’s lives forever.

“He said, you need to go to a hospital immediately, because this could be a sign of a brain tumor or brain cancer,” recalls Wood. “I just felt like I was floating above the room and watching that conversation from outside of my own body, and thinking, is that what he really just said? But, looking back on it, I think I knew right then that everything was going to be different.”
