Lucas Camilo

The upward swing continues for Lucas, despite a few little throw-up episodes during the night. He’s been more awake, alert, and expressive over the past couple days than we’ve seen in a while, his settings on the vent are very low once again, and he’s taking food well (after the aforementioned vomiting). In fact, he was feeling so good that he gave us permission to hop on our bikes and head down to the National Equality March, where we met up with friends and did some good chanting (our favorite was “1-2-3-4, stop the war on the poor…5-6-7-8, unite our struggles, liberate!) Krista used the opportunity to explain to Lucas the importance of fighting against discrimination and hate, and the little guy was receptive, which he demonstrated by not puking. He seemed surprised to hear about the concept of homophobia, and raised his fist in solidarity with the marchers.
