āMe and Demi got to hold him the other day and got to do skin-to-skin contact for the first time. That was amazing. Demi said how light he was, but when I held him, I thought he was the heaviest thing Iāve ever held. It was quite literally like holding my world in my hands. Iāll never forget that moment,ā Charlie said.
Despite that progress, the family says Lucaās condition is still uncertain.
āBut the doctors have told us not to keep our hopes up, as at any time his condition could worsen. All we can do is keep praying. We donāt know when he will be able to come home. But doctors said it will be a long time.ā
A GoFundMe campaign has since been launched to help support Demi and Charlie as they continue spending time by Lucaās side during his recovery.
