Update on Anthony Borges-shot five times saving other students at Parkland [View all]

[hlthe2b]

Anthony is the only student who remains hospitalized. He'd been put in a medically induced coma a week or so ago and returned to ICU. It is wrenching to me that this young man's heroism has never even been mentioned by the administration nor major Congressional members, (but of course he is Latino)

If you are marching Saturday, keep Anthony in your thoughts. His road to recovery, though not detailed here has been hellacious. Oh, and do check in to let us know you are marching https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210390917

The father of Anthony Borges, the Parkland student shot five times while helping others, said his heroic son is doing better every day.

Anthony's father, Royer Borges, said his 15-year-old son is "making progress." Anthony, an avid soccer player, was shot while blocking a door so others could avoid gunfire. snip--

"He’s able to eat something solid," Royer Borges said. "He’s in better condition. Every day, it's a little step and it gets to be a bigger step for us. It's like a goal every day."
