More Test Results

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?

    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!

  17. 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

  18. 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

  24. 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
