It’s Tuesday and things haven’t changed too much. Peter remains as still as possible to avoid pain, so even eye contact is rare. He did get up and walk to the window and stood for about 10 minutes. He took a ride on his pole for a little ways. He occasionally coughs a bit, but hopefully the coughing will increase; Some good coughs are necessary to clean out those lungs, but it just hurts too much still.
He should be turning the corner any time, and if it’s like the surgeries before, once he turns the corner, he starts perking up quickly. It is likely that they will be moved out of ICU today and back into the hospital. When I spoke with Erika, they were checking on room availability.
Thanks to our friends, Matt and Allison Slater, for opening their home to the Eigner’s during their time in NY. They live just a few blocks from the hospital and Erika and Ty have been able to alternate between sleeping there and in the hospital. Peter has also stayed there during consultations and before checking into the hospital. He makes great use of their Ms. Pac-Man tabletop arcade game.
Just a reminder that today is the last day for t-shirt orders. Over 85 more shirts 100 more shirts have been ordered so far! Thanks so much.
