1/29/13

At about 10:30PM day 2 of this 3rd round of chemo began. This after Eli Bli ayin hora had a great day with none of the expected side effects. The day started with some games and just relaxing and continued with Eli entertaining the hospital staff. He spent the afternoon with a very close family friend who gave us a 5 hour break allowing us to get a few things done.

As the days of treatment continue we have unfortunately become familiar with a lot of the very wonderful staff at CHLA and know most nurses and doctors. Eli has his favorite nurses and some not such favorites and so do we. On Wedsnsday we have a full day planned for Eli as we have a lot going on at home that we need to deal with. iYH Eli’s great mood will continue and the side effects will be non existent.

Hoping to continue having only good reports on behalf of our Elimelech Ben Basya and that thru our zchusim and tefilos we will continue to see Eli do extremely well under the circumstances. These days are very tiring and trying but we do it knowing the outcome will beezrat Hashem be days of only nachas and gezunt from Eli and the rest of our family

I’m so glad to hear he’s getting through it without too much difficulty although I am sure that is an overstatement, however, every good day is another day conquered. May he continue to be strong and may your entire family be zocheh to a quick and full recovery.
Sincerely,
Chavi

Special Announcement

For the last few months a group of our close friends have been arranging to join Chai Lifelines marathon taking place in Florida on 2/2/14. They have already 12+ people just on the “team Eli” group along the many others that run for Chai Lifeline. To do so every runner goes through MONTHS of rigorous training which they have all began doing already. This is one of the bigger fundraisers for Chai Lifeline who anyone who has ever needed their services knows how vital they are when a family member is going through a illness. And for those who BH haven’t had a sick family member and beezrat hashem will never have should know that they are simply a lifeline. Always there and always thinking about what they can do to take their chesed to the next level.

Our family will forever be makir tov to them for what they have done for us and continue to do. Every runner that signs up is essentially pledging $3600 to join the CL team. Aside from the training they do they must also raise the $$. On the link below there is a team Eli page which shows how much together the team has raised but you can click on each persons name and donate directly to their pledge. We beezrat hashem hope as a family to be there together with Eli who will be pushed in a wheelchair/stroller by one of the runners during the marathon

I look at this as a insurance plan that hopefully your donation should chas vshalom never be used towards your family or anyone you know but for us its the ultimate lifeline. Again I ask that anyone that can should please donate whatever they can “every dollar counts”. If you can donate $5 great if you can do more even better. If you can fully sponsor a runner would be amazing. There is also nothing wrong with a runner more then fulfilling their pledges for this great and worthy cause.

Anyone wishing to join the team should please email Ayalaback@gmail.com and anyone wishing to donate should please go to this link: http://www.teamlifeline.org/myteam.php?myid=88.

All I can say simply is “tizku lmitzvos”
