NYC Checkup

Hello All,

Peter and I will be heading to NYC tomorrow for his 3 month check up, which will consist of CT scans, MIBG scans, blood work and a bone marrow biopsy. This is the first time that Peter and I have gone out to NYC without Erika or the girls. I have to admit I am more than a little nervous. I am only nervous because you never know what the results of the tests are going to be. Erika and I are feel great about where Peter is at and when people ask us “how he is doing?” We respond by saying “great.” He is doing great in school, gaining weight, has a ton of energy and has a very good appetite. So we are very, very thankful for how he has responded to his treatment.

The kids have adjusted very well to the move back to the cities and they are very active in a ton of different activities like hockey, gymnastics, swimming, school, watching hockey and playing with grandma’s, grandpa’s and cousins. Peter and Ellie are going to play in an exhibition game tomorrow at the US Pond Hockey Championships. They are both very excited about this, even though it is supposed to be very cold. We will be sure to let you know how things turn out.

As for Erika and I, we are plugging along. Erika is thankfully very busy with work at Tradition Mortgage. With interest rates being what they are she has been working very hard and doing a lot of business. The team I coach is doing very well, we are currently 13 and 3, with all 3 losses coming by one goal. We have a great group of kids and coaches and it is fun to be at the rink everyday.

Finally, we also want to let you know how much we appreciate you all continuing to pray for Peter and for keeping our family in your thoughts. This has been very difficult journey and we would not be where we are today without the help of all our friends and family.

God Bless,

Ty, Erika, Peter, Ellie and Kate

  3. It is so good to hear that Peter has gained wieght and is energetic and is doing well in school and that his siblings are doing well too. You and your wife have been such wonderful parents through all this stress. It is a joy to pray for such hard working parents and dedicated children. And that is just what I’ll be doing for your trip back to NY. I pray that all the test results continue to show improvement and that you all are able to continue to muster the courage and energy to keep your family growing and enjoying the blessings of being in a good family.
