Hello again,
All the Eigner’s hope all of you had a great Easter. We went up to Erika’s parents with the kids and had a great time. The kids got to go back to Jenny’s (our daycare person in Brainerd) they had a great time seeing all their old friends and had great weather for an outdoor Easter egg hunt. Peter, Grampa Poopster and I got to go ice fishing too. We had perfect weather and caught a ton of fish, so much that we had a fish fry on Sat. night and it was delicious. We also got to see Carrie and Dino Grillo’s new baby Piper Elizabeth Grillo, who was 3 days old when we stopped by to see them. The kids enjoyed that, especially Ellie who must have held her 6 different times. The winter is all wrapped up as far as winter hockey goes. The team I coach for won the Minnesota State Championship. It was a great group of players and coaches, and the best experience of my hockey career. Having watched the Tournament for 30 years, it was amazing to be a part of a Championship team and something I will never forget. This years tournament drew over 115,000 fans over 4 days. Peter and Ellie are currently playing hockey in a spring 3 on 3 league at Uncle Trent’s rink “The Pond” and having a blast. All three of the kids are very busy right now. Kate has gymnastics, swimming and goes along to everything else. Ellie has gymnastics, swimming, hockey and school. And Peter has track, swimming, hockey and school, with baseball starting soon. Erika is doing great at work, the new lower interest rates have her very busy. As you can imagine, our schedule is kind of crazy, but we seem to like it more that way!
Peter and I are going out to NYC on the 26th of this month for his 3 month check up. It is hard to believe that it is already time for that. We continue to pray for the best, and know that you all will too. From our point of view, he is doing great. Appetite is really good, energy is good, he is growing each week and is doing great in school. We see none of the signs that we saw prior to his diagnosis, but we have no idea what is going on inside. That unknown is the hardest part of this process, but as a parent of a child with cancer once told me, ” I guess you just know that it is something that you will always have to live with.”
Anyway, that is the latest with us. We hope that you all have a great spring and again we so appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that you continue to give to Peter and our family
Finally, I had my cell phone stolen so if you have been trying to call that is why I don’t answer. e-mail me at ty.eigner@traditionllc.com if you want my new cell number.
Ty, Erika, Peter, Ellie and Kate
