Lisa found Jay’s wonderful book,  All That Moves Us: A Pediatric Neurosurgeon, His Young Patients, and Their Stories of Grace and Resilience at A-Z Bookstore in North Platte, Nebraska as we were browsing one Saturday.  Jay and I had a lovely conversation about the inspiring hope and resilience of children, and some things we’ve both learned over a lifetime of observing the wonder of the human nervous system.
