5/19/13

Today was bli ayin hora by far the best day Eli has had in a very long time. He felt good about himself being somewhat stronger and in turn did everything that he lately has needed help doing he did by himself “halevay vayter”. This morning Eli just relaxed and ate and then ate more. The afternoon we got out to go shopping BH without the stroller and Eli was up to walking around. Later in the afternoon Eli decided that he wants just the family to have a BBQ so that’s exactly what he did and we all really enjoyed especially watching Eli eat a very nice amount.

On Monday so far Eli only has one hopefully small and short appointment in CHLA to what they call inject some type of fluid so that on Tuesday when he goes for a scan they will be able to see everything clearer. Other then this scan and a few other short tests we have hopefully a relatively quiet week. These very important tests which hopefully will all yield good results beezrat hashem will help us and the Drs get a good idea of how things have gone so far.

We hope Elimelech Ben Basya continues to have days that are as good if not a lot better then today as we watch him continue to IYH have a refua shelayma.

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”
