Thanks, and Flip the Chicken (July 12)

Thanks to everyone who’s replied to our last post with solidarity, support, and willingness to be in the Lucas book club, near or far. We couldn’t pull this off without you.

We also wanted to give a quick update on Lucas’s health. He was sick for a solid week, but on Wednesday he turned a corner and got up into his wheel chair for the first time in days. We took him to the doctor, and they found a minor infection in his trach, but nothing serious. So he got to go to two days of his summer school this week, which made him happy.

He doesn’t have school on Fridays, so this morning Susie came over and we took him to the amazing Seattle Children’s Playgarden. Lucas met the baby chicks there a month ago, and he was really excited to be reunited with the now awkwardly adolescent chicks. One of them even jumped right up onto his chair’s headrest!
