Month: June 2008

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&section=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

Peter has been chosen as an honorary chairperson for the Relay for Life in Rosemount this month. The event is on June 20th in Central Park, Rosemount, MN at 6:00 PM. Erika has started a Peter’s People team and you can  join the team by clicking here and signing up. Click on the Join Our Team link and register as a Team Member. If you cannot participate, but would like to donate to the American Cancer Society, you can also do that by clicking the Donate link.

If you have a Peter’s People t-shirt, please wear it. I will have a limited number of shirts/sizes at the event for sale, so you may want to arrive before 6:00 if you would like to buy them. Those proceeds will also go to the American Cancer Society.

Then the celebration continues on Saturday at 4:30 PM and into the evening. Peter’s Aunt and Uncle, Melissa and Trent Eigner, will be hosting a party at their Rosemount home. Jason Perri will be providing live music, food and drink are provided, and kids will be able to play on jumpers. Please join!
