BAH the last few days Eli has been gaining a lot of strength and is finally back somewhat on his feet. BH Mondays labs were ok and didn’t require any transfusions. This afternoon was spent in CHLA getting both a MIBG and CT scan. They have a new machine which does both together which you would think makes it go quicker and more efficiently but no just the opposite it takes longer but produces much clearer pictures.

Thursday at noon we are back at CHLA for a lab draw to see if Eli will need a transfusion or not. That will be followed by a DR visit to hear today’s scan results. Based on the scans and Elis blood counts we will see from there what treatment and when Eli is eligible for.

This evening Dr and Mrs Levin made a Chanuka party for Elis class special for Eli and BH Eli had the strength to go and really enjoyed the special occasion and was given a huge sign signed by his whole class filled with well wishes and brochos from his classmates truly very special and enjoyable. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Eli has also been receiving lately from many of our friends some of whom we know and some we never heard of from local and around the world special Chanuka gifts. It is really special and very moving to get such things and even though many times we don’t get around to properly thanking the people responsible for it we thank you for helping lift Elis spirits and he enjoys them all.

Chai Lifeline as always has sent for all of the kids a special gift thru an anonymous donor daily for all 8 days of Chanuka and the kids are loving un wrapping the gifts and the special prizes. Thanks so much.

3000 miles away in Peekskill NY this evening there was a Chanuka mesiba where the Rosh Yeshiva who has done so much for us and Eli these past 2 years and for myself the last 20+ years announced that the Mesechta that the bochurem will be learning will be bzchus Eli. Also 2 very close and very special people who wish to remain anonymous gave 46 high school Bochurem from Peekskill anywhere from $200-400 depending on their grades from a bechina they took on the entire Mesechta Bava Metzia all bzchus Eli!!!
