Police are still searching the hit-and-run driver that injured a 7-year-old West Dallas boy on his birthday on Saturday.
Lorenzo Cantu spent his seventh birthday in the hospital after a white pickup truck hit him, but Halloween perked him up.
His stepgrandfather, Oscar Andrade, said he was surprised by his enthusiasm.
"He came down at six this morning, already in uniform, ready to go," he said. "I said, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'School.'"
When Cantu got home, he put on his punk-rock zombie costume. Even though he is still limping, he went trick-or-treating with his mother.
"I am feeling better because it is Halloween," he said.
"You can't sit and mope; you got to keep on moving on," said his mother, Victoria Cantu.
