We got to MSKCC a few minutes late but BH it didn’t affect our wait time. They took Eli right in for the MIBG scan which took a solid 2 hours. By the end of the scan rightfully so Eli was frustrated but pulled thru as he always does. We got the results of yesterdays blood counts which showed that Eli is neutropenic and therefore needed a dreaded shot to help boost his blood levels. It isn’t fun telling Eli he needs a shot and it took a while to calm him down once that was done. We were then given a the bucket for a 6 hour urine test and headed back to our cousins.

After resting and relaxing we headed back to MSKCC as we needed to drop off the urine test today. Unlucky for us this clown that calls himself president was in NYC and caused a traffic nightmare. So our plans to visit Bubby in Boro Park had to be cancelled until Sunday. We went back to our cousins place and Eli once again had a great time with the cousins. Very few people know hachnasas orchim the way our cousins do and it has made coming to NY as easy as possible.

Friday morning there is one more short scan and then we will head upstairs where Eli will IYH be getting a platelet transfusion as well as possibly also a blood transfusion but that’s hasn’t been decided yet. We will then meet the DR to get the results of the scans beezrat hahsem. Hopefully the day will go smooth and we will be out at a normal hour so we can make it to Lakewood for Shabos.

We have been davening for good results of the MIBG therapy and hopefully we will get exactly that on Friday or whenever we meet the DR. Please continue to have Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos
