Peter was stabilized overnight. The respirator has moved his oxygen level up. We believe he is moving in the right direction. We’ll take that, but it’s no less scary today.
eleven of us, including Peter’s sisters, flew out to Ny early this morning. We’ve taken turns seeing him. He has tubes down his throat and nose, and IV lines coming out of his feet and arm. The respirator is pumping air into his lungs. Peter is intentionally paralyzed so his setup isn’t disturbed by movement. He has tape on and around his mouth and nose. His eyelids are slightly open, but his eyes don’t move. We can grab his hand and rub his arms and head while we tell him how well he’s doing and encourage him. It is the hardest thing to see him right now, but we just know he hears us and is excited that his sisters have come to see him.
While writing, Grandma Barb said he moved his eyes a bit. Erika asked how he’s doing and asked him to squeeze her hand. He did.
We are continuing to pray.
I am praying for your son today. He has been in my thoughts all day. I have never met him, but he sounds like an amazing child. Erika and Ty- be strong for one another too.
Eigners,
Your prayer web is wide….our families in Detroit and Russia are also praying for you. Keep the faith. Our Love,
Jon, Cylinda, Kaydi, Colby, Kelsi and Karli Ring
Thanks for the update, Matt. We continue to pray for Pete, and the entire family.
Thank you for the great update. We are thankful for many things today….*First we are thankful for our own health *We are thankful that Peter was stabilized overnight *We are thankful that we know Peter… *And we are most thankful that 11 of his deeply concerned family members are now able to be at his bedside. May the presence of your love work in miraculous ways to heal precious Peter’s body.
We, of course, continue to pray on bended knee. We hope for more squeezes…..
With infinite love~

Once again I amazed by the power of love and the strenght in numbers, as I have NEVER witnessed one person able to move so many. You truely are blessed!
I hope the rest of your day and the days ahead continue to bring good news.

Hey Peter,
It’s your buddy Crazy LuLu…today is my birthday and I usually get
A LOT of presents on my birthday, but this year the only present I want is for you to hurry and get better. I can’t wait to eat that colored sugar candy with the candy stick with you. Remember when we had that at Jake and Alexa’s house and it turned all of our tongues a funny color? That was fun! I can’t wait for more fun times with you. Please give me the best present I could ever ask for…your big smile telling a funny joke and making everyone around you laugh.
Thinking about you all the time and praying really hard for you to feel better soon.
Lu
All the love in the world is being sent to you from Wisconsin. You are all in our prayers. My the good Lord give Peter a squeeze for us and keep you all rested and strong to help him fight.
Love,
Jen, Justin, Max and Shaylin
Keep Fighting Pete!! We are still praying for all of you and so happy to hear that he knows you are all there! Keep staying strong and telling him positive things!! He hears you and needs a lot of encouragement!! We’ll keep praying for God to surround Peter and your whole family!!

Keep fighting Peter!
Great Aunt of Logan Fogarty.
I just got the news…it’s far from what I imagine you want to deal with but I’m so glad he’s stabilized. He has to be the world’s strongest little guy!

OH my, you guys have brought tears to my eyes again…. time to get out Peter’s warrior stick. He is fierce and full of fight, just shake that stick to keep reminding him of his power over Cancer. We will all win this one.
We’re sending up lots of prayers in Indiana for Peter and his amazing family. Thank God you’ve got each other to lean on.
Stay positive and know Peter will prevail.
Shannon, Brian and Eli Wilson
Hi, I don’t know your family, but your website was past on to me through friends. I was reading about Peter and looking at the snapshots of Peter. I recognized those glow in the dark dino PJ’s because my 4 year old has them too! It is a reminder how precious life is and why we try to live “one day at a time”. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
To Peter, Erika, ty the entire Einger Family;
I wish so badly that I could take this bullet for you
Please accept our “Heartprints”, our love and our prayers
Whatever our hands touch –
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There’s no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity.
Wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.
Send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
“I felt your touch,”
May they also sense the love
that is deep within my heart.
~ Unknown ~
keep fighting Peter. God has a plan for you. He will send you the power and comfort you need to make it through and beat this. Hang in there. I am praying for you and your family all the time.
with much love and hope,
Jessica Baker

What an outpouring of love and support and prayer. The response to your latest news must be better than playing on home ice in front of a full house..Eigners and Hansons – lean on that home base of love/prayer/support/encouragement advantage now like never before!
Prayers coming your way round the clock for strength and continued recovery.
Corey, Tonia, Johanna and Georgia Jorgenson
Hey Guys!
I sit here with tears since I know the look of seeing one of your babies in ICU with tubes, tape, machines, and the of fear of them not being able to make any sound. When Lexi was in ICU after loosing both kidneys that was one of the hardest days during life after hearing that she had cancer. Stay strong and lean on those there to help you get through this time!
Please get well Peter. I want you to play baseball with me again.
Your pal,
Jack
Sounds like the hurdle might be getting a little smaller, Pete-Man. Keep up the good work. You are putting up a great fight. We are all behind you and praying for you, your parents, sisters, doctors and the rest of your family.
Sarah
Dear everyone,
I am happy you are all together. This is the best medicine for little Peter. May the Lord bless you all and keep you safe in His care. We are praying for you and sending our love from the Little Apple to the Big Apple. Hang in there–tomorrow will be a better day.
Sending you good thoughts and our prayers,
Terry and Bette
The Eigner family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday!
Hang in there Peter, your one tough little guy and I have faith you’ll get through this. I’ve got tickets saved for you and your dad to come to some games next year too!
Stay strong
-Mike
Oh so happy to hear any bit of good news. Many, many, many are praying for Peter, especially last night. It is hard for all of you to see Peter like this but know he is gaining comfort and strength from all who love him so much around him. Thanks for the update, Matt, especially during this difficult time for all of you.
The Eigner family –
I’ve never met you or your sweet little boy, Peter. I’ve worked with Todd Ratzlaff over the past year and he’s mentioned what’s been going on with your son. I have another former co-worker who’s 15 month old daughter was diagnosed in April with the same terrible disease. I want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. From what I’ve heard, Peter is one tough little guy and I’m sure he will rally and pull through this. Be there for each other. Take care.
We are so pleased that Peter was stabilized overnight and is showing signs of improvement. Your little boy is remarkable and has touched innumerable lives through his strength and perseverance, just as you have. Our continual thoughts and prayers can be addded to the very long list.
Dave, Jennie, Maren, Abby and Riley Pelowski
Continuing prayers for you all.
Hugs and lots of love from the Johnson’s.
