Emilio Pérez

Emilio Pérez was a Honduran man from La Ceiba and the husband of Camila Ríos. They were the parents of Adelina and Jorge. In 2050, Emilio’s request for help led the family to relocate to Baltimore so Adelina could receive specialized neurological care from Logan Weston.

Adelina’s Medical Care

Adelina experienced increasingly violent seizures and declining mobility despite consultations with seven neurologists across Honduras and Guatemala. Emilio and Camila sold their car and then their home while seeking effective treatment.

In 2050, Emilio emailed Logan in Spanish after hearing of a doctor who listened and did not give up. He described Adelina’s deterioration and the family’s exhausted resources. Logan requested her scans and records, spoke directly to Adelina in Spanish with medical interpreter Luisa Menéndez available for technical terms, and identified atypical focal epilepsy with neurosensory hypersensitivity during a virtual consultation.

When the medical team in Honduras resisted Logan’s treatment protocol, the Weston Clinic, Reverie, and donations from the band covered the family’s travel, housing, and treatment in Baltimore. Emilio and Camila accepted the offer and relocated with both children. The family moved into a furnished home purchased for their use and began Adelina’s treatment under Logan’s supervision.

Family

Emilio and Camila made the medical and relocation decisions as Adelina’s parents. Their younger child, Jorge, moved with them from La Ceiba and was six when the family arrived in Baltimore.

Emilio remained attentive to Jorge while Adelina’s care demanded much of the family’s money and time. On their first night in Baltimore, both children asked to sleep with their parents, and Emilio and Camila kept them together in the primary bedroom. Emilio saw Logan arrive the next morning in a wheelchair and using oxygen, then continue to address Adelina directly in Spanish about her scans and treatment.
