Both the good and bad news is that everything is status quo. The good part is that BH the infection is negative but the bad news is that Elis blood counts are still at zero. Over the last 2 days Eli has needed both blood and platelet transfusions. They will not allow Eli to leave the hospital until there is a rise in his counts which can happen at any time but just has to happen. This is sadly not yet considered a long time for it not to have gone up but for us feels like forever.

We are trying to get home so Eli can have some normalcy and rest before we need to turn around and start the next round of chemo over Pesach. Eli did very much enjoy a skype session with his rebbi and class today.

Beezrat hashem sooner then later we will have good news about Elimelech Ben Basya blood counts going up and him being released to go home from CHLA and continue the road to recovery and refua shelayma.

This past Sunday night in NY at the Peekskill yeshiva dinner at which 2 very close friends of mine were honored the program started with tehilim for Eli which we joined in here in LA together with the 500+ people there. Also a very large amount of tzedaka by many different friends was given to the yeshiva bzchus Eli. Tizku lmitzvos to all who daven and do many other acts of chesed and tzedaka and many other things on behalf of Eli it IYH will be a real zchus.

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”
