9/24/13

After relaxing for most of the morning at home and playing with a few friends we decided it was time to get out. We headed to Marina Del Rey but I forgot to give Eli some anti nausea meds so he had a episode when we got there but I or he wasn’t going to let that ruin the day so we got on our rented speed boat and had a blast together as a family which we all really enjoyed.

Once we got home and let Elis stomach rest for a few minutes it was back in the car for a scheduled DR appt at CHLA where Eli was cleared to start the next round of immunotherapy. The good news is that he doesn’t have to be there for this round on Sunday night he can go Monday morning and the even better news is that this round IYH should not cause any pain and he should be able to leave the hospital Friday morning.

As always Elimelech Ben Basya lrefua shelayma bsoch shaar choley yisroel. On WED morning IYH Chaya Mushka Bas Hadasa Shayna will reach a milestone that Eli and all cancer patients look forward to which is the surgery to remove the central line please daven that all should go well and STAY WELL UNTIL 120 AMEN.
A GUT MOED.

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”
