I have some more info on the CT scans. The abdominal mass that was just operated on does not show up any more. That alone makes the challenge and heartache of the last surgery all worthwhile. Its goal was accomplished.
As I understand it, the lymph nodes in the superclavicular area do look completely normal. They simply remark because it was previously a location of disease.
The kidney ultrasound came back and the kidney is functioning just fine. They believe that any abnormality they saw is due to trauma recovery. Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NY hasn’t weighed in on any of these tests yet, but the Eigners should hear from them before long.
Peter is going along just fine. Erika said he walks slowly and lags behind the group. He’s eating better, but remains weak. I imagine he’s gaining a tad more strength each day. And in good time he’ll be running out front of the pack once again. And if he’s running out front of the pack, how long before he’s skating again?
One amazing little boy you are – SIMPLY AMAZING !!! We are so very happy to hear all of this. Peter, God must truly have BIG plans for you. Keep up the good work little man!
Our Love To You!!
Peg and Ron

Hi Eigners,
Such wonderful news!!! Thank you for teaching us the power of prayer and miracles. I am sorry that you are the chosen ones to do it but you are truly a remarkable family. Peter will have quite a story to tell his children some day. Enjoy your time at home and as always, believing and praying. Stay strong and eat Pete Man.

Hi Peter and Family,
The Power of Prayer…is there anything like it? That and one strong little soul of a boy, who just keeps charging forward.
So glad to hear of the results. Peter, you can throw that ball pretty good, like I saw in Aunt Michelle’s yard. You’ll get all your strength and speed back in no time. Take your time little guy. There is no doubt anywhere in this world that you will win this!!
God Bless All of You!
The Nahorski’s

Amazing and heartening news. I hope for continued good news about all the tests. Peter’s story is a very special gift for all of us who hang onto every word in this wonderful website. Thank you.
I continue to be amazed how all his family has worked together so well to make sure he gets the best care. Blessings on all of you. Keep fighting, Peter.
your grandma’s friend, Mary
What sweet words we hear today!
Thank goodness, Pete, another miracle you have accomplished. Time to gear up for Halloween and being a regular kid. And skates! Hockey is coming!
Oh Eigners, we are so ecstatic with your news. Keep pluggin away, you are an inspiration to us all.
God Bless,
The Enebaks
Dear Eigners,
What wonderful and hope filled news. It is amazing how so much strength and fortitude can be packaged in one small boy. His parents and the rest of his family are pretty amazing too.

Peter and The Eigners,
That is one of the best posts yet by Unlce Matt! We are so happy to hear that things are going well. Welcome Home, and we’ll see you at the Rink!
Erika and Ty – Just a tip – Andrew found skating much easier than running…It’s a great way to build up EVERYTHING! You are in my prayers every day – glad he’s healing so well!
I am so glad your family received all good news. It’s about time ! Yeah! Bravo! Keep eating, the energy will come! Hurray! Yippee!
Peter Robert and KT
My sentiments echo those of everyone else on your team! We – your teammates, your friend, your famiily – couldn’t have asked for better results! Your continued winning path just gets brighter everyday!
I had the priviledge of having the most adorable, strong, brave, amazing, heroic person walk through my front door earlier this morning. Standing there with a head full of “dark” hair, huge blue eyes and a sweet shyness about him — was Peter Eigner! It had been about a month and a half since I last saw the big guy… and I was amazed at the beauty and strength that remains within him even after all that he has gone through. He may be lacking in size (although, I hard a time time noticing any significant difference…. it may have been the jogging suit??!!?) and the smiles are tucked away inside his heart for now……. but what he lacks in enthusiasm & physical strength, he makes up for in heroism, courage, bravery, wisdom, intelligence and beauty. Standing before me today with a quiet demeanor was the same, exact, beautiful Peter that I saw just days before his surgery. It’s gloomy outside, but my heart is shining awful bright! Thanks for stopping in Peter. One of these days — you’re visit will be longer. Thanks for the ‘high five’. I’ll wait until you’re ready for a hug… maybe next time?? 🙂
With oodles of love and prayers for continued healing & strength~
Jenni, Ryan, Emily, Lily & Parker

As my son, Andrew says,”I have 2 words for you, PRAISE GOD!”
Dear Peter and Family!
We couldn\’t be happier……A saying we used to use when Molly was sick went like this:
It is the climb that puts on the muscle,
anything worth having is never cheap.
God has no bargain counters for even his poor or weak.
It hurts to fall down,
but it strenghthens us to pick ourselves up.
L. H. Talbot
You are in the strengthening mode now and all our prayers are picking you up! We can\’t wait to hear when you are skating again!!
Love,
The Hollways
Mary, Bill, Billy, Mike and Molly
