Today started at 4:30AM with a lot of vomiting and non stop diarrhea every few minutes. At 8:30AM Eli felt warm and he was very warm according to the thermometer nearly 103 so we zipped to CHLA where they as always put him on immediately antibiotics. We were in the ER room for about 5 hours before they finally got a bed on the 4th floor but not in a very ideal location. Eli is for now in the BMT unit which is the only place on the floor that had a bed open. Although he doesn’t need to be there since all the other kids there need to be there we need to keep all the rules that come with that unit. Hopefully a bed in the regular floor will open and we will be transferred there so it will be easier to get in and out.

Bli ayin hora so far all the cultures have been negative and beezrat hashem they will stay negative. The problem right now is that even with all the tylenol and IVs and antibiotics and both a blood and platelet transfusion again today his fever is still pretty high.

Obviously for right now we are not going to NY as a result of this and we don’t know when we may go now as we don’t know how long Eli will need to be in patient for. As always we will take one good day at a time and hope the next is even better and beezrat hashem Eli will be able to leave CHLA sooner then later.

As always please keep Elimelech Ben Basya in your tefilos as we daven that this is nothing and that we can continue with the treatments as soon as possible. A GUT CHODESH
