Lucas Camilo

Tomorrow Lucas will go into Children’s Hospital for a long-planned surgery. It’s a relatively minor urological procedure… and yet it’s still surgery. We’re confident it will be success but still slightly nervous given that there’s always a possibility of complications when you go under general anesthesia.

Lucas seems pretty chill about it all.  It’s not his first surgery but it is the first time that he’s old enough to have a sense of what’s going on.  We’ve explained to him about the procedure and why its needed, and Krista even showed him some videos about kids going into surgery yesterday (including one with a doctor who had an awesome British accent, which Lucas always appreciates.)  He even said that surgery was his “bud” for the week – i.e., what he’s looking forward to.

At any rate, we just wanted to let friends and family know so that you’ll be thinking of Lucas tomorrow afternoon… and maybe even send him a message of support.  He has his own email address now (lucas@estansbury.com) and though it takes him a while to write individual responses, he loves hearing from people and writing silly things back.

Lucas saw his first full rainbow the other day!
