Yesterday (Tuesday) was mainly spent at the hospital in NYC. Peter had his labs done and and height and weight measured. He is 44 pounds — still lighter than he was pre-diagnosis, even though he seems to be filling out.
He also had CT scans of his head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They drew blood to check his HAMA levels and gave him an injection for a MIBG scan taking place today. Along with MIBG today, he will have some bone marrow biopsies.
Test results should start trickling in today. They only thing they learned yesterday was that Peter has ear infections. This was shocking, because he hasn’t complained about his ears at all and the NP said they were “flaming”. He has a bad cold, but you’d think he’d recognize inflamed ear canals. I suppose it’s good that they happen to be getting medical attention at the present or things may have worsened.
After the hospital, Ty, Erika, and Peter headed to Rockefeller Plaza for ice skating. Peter brought his own hockey skates on the trip. I heard that Ty was super excited to rent himself some figure skates, but wound up with hockey skates after all. I would have paid to see Ty rounding the oval in figure skates, pushing off with his toes. But I don’t think this earth will ever see that.
Let’s hope for great news in the coming hours and days.
TOE PICK!!!
Sending hugs and prayers your way!!!!

hi peter! Can you believe you’re looking at one ocean (Atlantic) and we’re looking at the other(Pacific)? I ran along the beach today and there were some surfers!!! The nurses here think we have Mary’s room too cool but we’re cookin’. They were incredulous that we went to Alcatraz Island “in this bad weather” before Mary got admitted to the hospital. Heck it’s good weather…50 degrees. Sarah, Zac, And SAm are ice skating on our pond back in Minnesota.
Let us know how you do in NYC with the tests.
You are a trooper!
Miss you,
Patti (and Arden and Mary) 🙂
Peter and Family,
Just wanted you all to know I prayed for you this morning.
