2/4/13

Finally after having a very rough last few days Eli finally seems to be slowly coming out of his deep nausea spell. While it did take until 6PM for him to take his first bite for the day when he finally did he ate a very nice amount. Best of all bli ayin hora he kept it all down. While he does continue to drink a very nice amount he needs to gain weight and eat a lot of calories which is what we try getting him to do all day. Finally it looks like we are succeeding.

Eli had some very choshuveh visitors today which definetly contributed a lot to his mood being better and him having more strength then he has had of late. His rebbi Rabbi Jacobs came and learned with him this afternoon which Eli has not been up to doing lately do BH he is back on that track. And then this evening thanks to a local rov Eli got a special visit from the Pinsk Karlin Rebbe who is in LA for a very short stay and spent 30 minutes with Eli in our home and it ended with a very special Brocha which lit Eli’s face up “Eli I want you at this time next year to come visit me in Eretz Yisroel”.

Everyone’s tefilos are definetly helping us and Elimelech Ben Basya get thru these past few difficult days and months. Beezrat Hashem we will only continue to have good news and reports on Eli bsoch shaar choley Yisroel and we should be Zoche to see Eli and all Cholim have a full refua BKAROV.

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”
