Four weeks ago Peter was in RPLND surgery, and 12 days ago he was discharged from our Kalamazoo hospital stay.
I am thrilled to say that today Peter was acting so normal! He is “end-of-Apex-day-exhausted” but he was able to go to WorshipArts practice tonight, and watched Esther for a few hours! Day to day we sometimes feel that we don’t see a lot of improvement, or that we may be taking steps backwards in recovery, but week to week Peter is absolutely regaining strength and health. It’s just slow going. We are looking into Physical Therapy to help him regain strength the right way and help with some of the pain he is still experiencing. [...]
All three of us are home and reunited! I wish I could adequately express how much of a relief it is that I actually feel like Peter’s recovery and my own health are at the point where I can care for both him and Esther (and myself) all at home together. Praise God!![...]
Hey all, quick update.
Pain has been ebbing and flowing, but we got to see a lot of good doctors at Bronson today, heard from the doctors at IU, and we have a better plan for medication. [...]
Peter is A LOT more comfortable. This batch of doctors was waiting on information from IU. Not sure on when/if a second scan will be to check on fluid levels. I’m wondering if they may be overnighting information here. Pray for divine knowledge, since Peter’s surgery is rare and not done here often, if at all.[...]
Looking like Peter will be at the hospital for observation for a few days. Waiting to see if his body will absorb the small amount of extra fluid that is causing all of this or if he will need an abdominal drain. The amazing doctors from Indiana University have been in touch and sharing information with Bronson. [...]
Currently Peter has been admitted to Bronson hospital for fluid in his abdomen.
