"We went to the ER to get him checked, and they told us from there he has leukemia and that, that day will forever haunt you," said father Chris Bruder, a cyber security engineer. "We had to go to clinic twice during that period, but other than that we didn't worry about his numbers. We didn't worry about where he's at. We didn't really worry about anything.
