For the most part Eli has been feeling pretty well lately and all has been status quo. Last week Eli needed a platelet transfusion as it was extremely low. Once he got it he looked and felt a lot better. As a family we escaped for the weekend to Palm Springs and it was great to see Eli so happy and being able to enjoy himself like the rest of the kids were. Last week Eli was given a great wetsuit by one of “the uncles”and boy did it come in handy as it kept Eli feeling warm all the time he swam.
Sunday evening Eli wasn’t feeling or looking great and it was most probably because he didn’t sleep well this weekend. When he woke up after the home health nurse came to the house this morning he was still not feeling great we decided to take him directly to the Infusion center and he definitely needed a blood transfusion which BH he’s currently getting with as always direct donor yidisheh blood. In the past Eli has had low pottasium but today was extremely low so after the blood transfusion he will also get a pottasium IV to help boost those numbers as well.
Other then that we will be back IYH in CHLA Thursday for a DR appt as well as possible transfusions again in preparation for another round of chemo scheduled to start again on Monday in a week from today.
Please as always have Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel in your tefilos.
I just want to let you know that I have Eli in my Tefillos all the time. The email updates of his constant ups & downs keep the Tefillos fresh.
May Hashem give you, and Eli, the strength you need to pull through all the difficulties, and grant Eli a complete Refuah B’karov, besoch sh’ar choei Yisroel.
