It’s been awhile since Ty or I have posted! I’ve intended to sit down and write quite a few times lately but I just haven’t had the chance. I hope to soon – I have a lot to say (a shock, I know). I wanted to put a link to a nice article done by the Rosemount Town Pages this week. http://www.rosemounttownpages.com/articles/index.cfm?id=19744§ion=News
We are really excited about the Relay and looking forward to seeing lots of friends and family! A big thanks to Trent & Melissa for putting together what will be a really fun party on Saturday – if you know Melissa, you know will be a great party!!
Very quickly, Peter is doing well. He has been eating well and playing A LOT. He is playing baseball in Lakeville (yep, Lakeville – that’s another update!!) Thanks to some friends for allowing him to join their team mid-season. He is loving it! He played his first game last night and Ty said he had a great time and hit the ball a time or two! These things all still seem a little bitter-sweet to me, as we just never know what the future holds for Peter and his growth, physical abilities, health, etc. So we cherish the fact that he is participating and fitting right in!
One other thing that is REALLY exciting is Peter is HAMA-negative! We will re-test him in a couple of weeks to make sure he is still negative, since last time we thought he was and went to NY for treatment, he ended up being positive, and it’s very dangerous to treat “positive†kids with the 3F8 antibody. We hope to be heading east very soon for another round of the treatment, and he will have all the tests done in New York in July as well.
I’ll stop here since I could get carried away, but thanks for checking in! Erika

Great to see an update! It is also nice to know that you don’t have to update as much since things are much quiter and more “normal”. Pete, I hope you enjoy your summer and feel great throughout. We’ll keep on praying for Peter and the rest of you guys!
Love,

I’m so happy to see that Peter is having a good summer…playing baseball; that’s awesome! You all have been through the wringer for several summers, and deserve some “normal” summer fun. What wonderful progress he has made over the long months in the past, he’s got a great future ahead of him.
Best wishes for a wonderful summer for all the Eigners from the Hanskes; I will check back for updates on Peter.
