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.
Peter and family,
You’re in our thoughts and prayers always! Hang in there buddy, rest and find comfort from all your family members who are there with you.
Love, Heather, Eric, Sam and Charlie Pikula
Peter and family,
You and your family have been in my thoughts all day. I am thankful to here that your oxygen level has improved Peter. We will continue to pray for your healing. Believe in the power of prayer.
Peter and family,
We are praying for you and your family for strength, health, miracles, faith, and courage. We want to see Peter playing hockey soon!
God bless,
Julie, Jeff, Justin and Andrew Wells

Just wanted to add tonight that I updated Lexi’s site (www.caringbridge.org/visit/lexirosenbaum) and asked everyone to pray for Peter and another little girl who is fighting hard! I have been told that the power of pray helps 🙂 So many others who don’t your strong Peter, are praying for him!
Keep up the battle.
God will be with you every moment.

Hi Peter! I have never met you…but I just wanted to you to know that my thoughts are with you and your family. I have been following your progress for some time now…and I am so impressed with your determination and fight. You are a true Warrior! I’m crossing my fingers that you’ll be playing hockey and baseball again soon…
To Peter and his large, loving and supportive family. I live next door to Chuck and Rose Weiland and have kept a constant vigil on this webiste as well as talking with Rose. Your strength and support is amazing and Peter is an amazing little boy. Just remember there is strength in numbers and power in prayer. You have witnessed this again and again in Peter’s long fight. Keep up your vigil in the faith and the Lord’s love and healing will bring Peter through this crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Mary Hollway told us about Peter. I just wanted you to know we are praying for him too. I’m glad to hear he is stabilized, and hope that the antibiotics start to work quickly.
Good Morning. Every day is a better day. The words that have been said, the Love that is sent and the presence of God as he wraps his arms around all of you cannot be over-stated. Continue to share your Love for each other and remain strong. Peter is going to turn the corner.Keep Believing. Uncle Matt, thank you so much for this site and for all of the updates. Hundreds upon hundreds of friends and family continue to check on Peter’s progress and pray for his rapid recovery. You are that link that holds everyone together. God Bless all of you.

I’m continuing to pray for your son and I hope he will get through this!
I am a friend of Stacy Ratzlaff’s. Erika, my extended family lived in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and lost everything. You donated to our family without ever meeting us. What an amazing person you are. You have no idea what that meant to us. Thank you so much. Now it’s our turn…
Your family is in my constant prayers and I have passed your information on to my entire email list as well as our church. Prayer is everywhere for your family – especially Peter. Remember – GOD heals everyday. Trust in HIM, put your everything in HIM.
Continue to know that you are blessed…
My best to you – – Nikki Coleman
