1/3/13

Another very good under the circumstances with Eli having somewhat of a home schooled schedule that his mother made for him along with a lot of fun and relaxing. Eli kept himself busy with davening, tehilim, nd learning in the morning followed by some games with his mother and then off to lunch with his uncle. I will continue and always say that until IYH BKAROV Eli is fully recovered he should have many more days like today.

While BH Eli isn’t bothered or at least doesn’t seem to be bothered by the looks or the fact that he has lost most of his hair and seems to be on the contrary enjoying watching it fall off it isn’t for a parent or anyone else the most pleasant thing to see however it does show to an extent that at least the chemo is having an effect and beezrat Hashem shrinking and curing his tumor. He had a full schedule starting on Monday of chemo for 5 consecutive days outpatient from about 9-5 daily.

While BH we are happy so far with how Eli is taking his situation he is still VERY sick and in need of the any zechusim he and we can get. We will never be able to possibly thank the kids, the girls and boys, the yeshivas, kollelim, friends that on a daily basis undertake things bzchus Elimelech Ben Basya most of which we don’t about and will never find out about. For the ones we know about and for the ones we don’t know about all we can say is kayn yirbu and may we all see Eli and all the Cholim have a complete refua BKAROV. Amen

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”
