I had written a post prior to Peter and Erika going to NYC, unfortunately, I was unable to get it to post on the site. Anyway, I wanted to tell everyone how all was going with the Eigner’s. Peter is playing baseball and hockey this summer and loves both. He is growing and gaining weight has a great appetite and lots of energy. We feel like from the outside he is doing awesome, but you never know what is going on inside. I also wanted you all to know how well the girls were doing, Ellie is in hockey and gymnastics and Kate is doing gymnastics this summer. All in all we are doing very well. I was going to ask you to keep Peter in your prayers as he heads back to NYC for his scans and tests and again remind you all how much our family appreciates all of your prayers and support.
As you probably know by now Erika, Peter and I are going back to NYC today to see what the “abnormalities” on his liver are. We do get a 3 hour layover in Milwaukee to see Grandpa Sig, so that will be good. As for NYC, we will let you all know what we are dealing with as soon as we know. We tried our best to have a fun weekend up North, but it was very hard for me. Erika has been incredible since hearing the news of the spots on his liver. She has been positive and strong for all of us. I will be honest this news has made my stomach ache since last Thursday. As the weekend went on, I was strengthened by faith, family and all of you. Each time my phone would beep I would read the text, e-mail or answer the call and immediately feel the wonderful support.
As for today, I will tell you this. Peter is still gaining weight, has a ton of energy, has a great appetite and he and I are going to hockey this morning. He is the same kid he was prior to this weekend. He is a child of God and Erika and I could not love him any more than we do. He has a great family and is supported by so many of you. We continue say many prayers for strength and say “thanks” to all of you for doing the same.
God Bless,
Ty
Our prayers are in full force…..
Thinking of you all and eagerly awaiting more posts…

Praying that the “abnormalities” are anything but the enemy….also praying for peace and strength for your entire family. Travel safe, and know that you are going to NY with prayers, love, and one heck of strong kid!!!
Dear Erika and Ty,
Thank you for this morning’s posting, it was great to read. The love you have for your children and the privilege of being able to read about it is compelling. You two are fantastic and present an incredibly amazing line up.
Please give Peter a hug for us and we are pulling for you.

Hey you guys…
We are so sorry you have to go thru this process and the waiting. We will be praying that the abnormalities are just that and that he is as healthy on the inside as he appears on the outside like you said!
Hugs and much love!

Eigner’s,
Thank you for keeping us up to date on how Peter and your family is doing! It is great to hear everything is ‘normal’ on the outside! I am praying that the ‘abnormalities’ on Peters liver are just scar tissue and nothing else! May you feel the love and support that surround you! God bless you and give you peace! Looking forward to hearing good news! Keep Fighting, Peter! We believe!
Love and many prayers,
LaCoe, Dan, Gavin and Lucas Inwards
Thinking of you. I am the eternal optimist and can only think of a happy ending.
Thinking of you all, praying for positive news so you can come home and get on with having fun! In the DIPG world we call it scanxiety TY, where your stomach is all knotted up, you want to throw up, kick, scream and cry. You would do anything to take their place. Peter (Ellie and Kate too!)is so lucky to have amazing parents who would go to the end of the earth and back to make sure he has everything he needs.
Keep Fighting!
With love, hope and understanding,
Erika
I have been reading Peter’s Page since he first was diagnosed and I was so sad to read that you now have to deal with this latest challenge. It is heartwarming to hear that he is thriving and happy. Hopefully, this is just a little blip on his radar. My heart goes out to both of you, Ty & Erika, I can’t imagine how painful it is to watch your son be sick. Hugs and prayers to your little girls that they have the strength to get through this too. Please know that even people you don’t know well are pulling for your family and praying for Peter’s health.
