Friday morning the nurse came to our home at 9AM to draw Eli’s blood as planned. Generally it takes once the blood reaches the lab only about 1-2 hours to have the full results. For some odd reason we called starting at 11AM for the results and they didn’t have them and said they would call us as Soon as they do have them. As the day progressed with no calls we started to get nervous and kept calling and still no results. Unfortunately we went into shabos not knowing the results or if we would be starting chemo on Monday or not. Motzei shabos we checked our email and messages and still no answer so w efinally got thru and BH after sweating it out for 36 hours we finally got the good results.

As far as Eli is concerned he had a great Friday and shabos. A lot of relaxing and tons of eating. He went to Shul for all the tefilos and enjoyed a Sholom Zachor Friday night. Shabos day after a few kidushim we finally made it home and Eli had invited a few friends and really enjoyed the day playing games and just being Eli and a normal 7 year old with BH no strings attached.

We have a busy schedule and a lot of decisions to be made this week and the coming weeks for Elimelech Ben Basya in regards to treatment, surgery and everything else and our tefilos are that we should be directed in the right path and that everything should get done right and in the right time with the right shaliach. Amen. A GUT VOCH

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”
