It’s Tuesday

It’s Tuesday and things haven’t changed too much. Peter remains as still as possible to avoid pain, so even eye contact is rare. He did get up and walk to the window and stood for about 10 minutes. He took a ride on his pole for a little ways. He occasionally coughs a bit, but hopefully the coughing will increase; Some good coughs are necessary to clean out those lungs, but it just hurts too much still.

He should be turning the corner any time, and if it’s like the surgeries before, once he turns the corner, he starts perking up quickly. It is likely that they will be moved out of ICU today and back into the hospital. When I spoke with Erika, they were checking on room availability.

Thanks to our friends, Matt and Allison Slater, for opening their home to the Eigner’s during their time in NY. They live just a few blocks from the hospital and Erika and Ty have been able to alternate between sleeping there and in the hospital. Peter has also stayed there during consultations and before checking into the hospital. He makes great use of their Ms. Pac-Man tabletop arcade game.

Just a reminder that today is the last day for t-shirt orders. Over 85 more shirts 100 more shirts have been ordered so far! Thanks so much.

  3. Peter,
    When I read this morning I thought of you, “Be imitators of God…as dearly loved children.” Eph. 5:1. You are made in God’s image…and a clear reflection you are. Keep up the good fight. Praying like a Warrior.

  4. Hey Guys!

    Just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Wow, you have had quite the rollercoster the past couple of days. Hang in there and please be sure to know that Peter, along with all of you, are in our thoughts and prayers! I can’t wait for us to get together with the kids and look back on the days when we lived in so much fear and are enjoying nothing but good times with lots of laughter!

  5. You are doing great Peter and just take it one day at a time, each day you will get a little better until you will be cruising the halls at the hospital.
    We continue to say prayers for you to help take away some of your pain too. Sleep well while the angels watch over you.
    Ty and Erika, we hope that you both are doing well and getting some rest too. This all has to be so very hard for both of you to endure. Feel the strength and prayers from all of us and hope it helps you to get through the days ahead.
    Love,

  8. Peter keep coughing. I am smiling because I can picture you zooming on your IV pole. We are scared because Thursday is our day to see Drs. Weigel and Smith to discover the next plans. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see you in NY.
    Blessings on you, patti et.al. 🙂
