I apologize for a delay in posts. I was in NYC and, although I passed by the hospital a couple times, I was happy that the trip had nothing to do with the hospital family lounge or beeping machines or the like.

While I was away, there was some excitement — both the fun kind and the scary kind — but all is well today. Peter had a great Saturday with cousins and family at Octoberfest at Ruttger’s Resort. I understand he was very active. Maybe in part because he has been eating like a horse as he’s been on an appetite stimulant. Apparently it’s working!

Then on Sunday he had the treat of attending the Wild game versus the Avalanche, which is always fun. However, something wasn’t going right on Sunday and his left side was hurting and his energy was down. His side pain was suspiciously close to the left kidney area.

So he was back at the U of M hospital on Monday to get things checked out and he was feeling much better at this point. The blood work and all came back clear, but it probably did have something to do with that kidney and a possible spasm or blockage of some kind. I suppose this is the kind of thing that next week’s procedure will help to eliminate. But all is better this week after that slight scare.

The plan as we know it is to be in NYC from Monday to Friday next week for the kidney stent. And that means we get to see Peter’s smiling face at the benefit on Saturday. I can’t wait.
