The nights while on immunotherapy are not easy and for some reason they can’t coordinate things to be done at the same time. One of the very normal common side effects is fever and to try to reduce the chance of getting fever they give tylenol every 4 hours around the clock. So during Elis sleep he is woken 3 times to take tylenol. Also while being on immunotherapy they need to take Elis vital signs every 4 hours why they can’t do both at the same time is beyond comprehension but that’s how it goes. So basically Eli is woken up every 2 hours and usually goes right back to sleep its just not easy.

Other then the morning not starting exactly how we would of liked it with Eli being nauseous the rest of the day went by very nicely. Eli was visited by his zaidy and some family friends which even though he doesn’t always show at the time his appreciation he really does enjoy them and appreciates it. Hopefully Thursday will go quick and easy so we can look forward to discharge day IYH in the afternoon on Friday.

Don’t want to give any ayin horas but other then the nurses waking Eli up every few hours last night the day could not of been much better under the circumstances. Eli spent the day relaxing and cracking jokes with everyone that was around. Ari has always been very sad whenever Eli isn’t at home and was begging to leave school early to visit Eli so he did that and they really had fun together.

Thank you to Chai Lifeline for sending Eli his favorite dinner after he kept saying I don’t want to eat “but I’ll eat a steak from shilos” and they brought that and he really ate a decent amount of it. We are hoping to have a better night sleep so Eli can continue being in a good mood and feeling well like he BH is now.

As always Elimelech Ben Basya lrefua shelayma bsoch shaar choley yisroel AMEN

After a good night sleep Eli got a pretty early start to the day and was headed to CHLA before 10AM. After going thru the admission process Eli finally got to his room and went thru the regular checkups from the DRs and nurses. They finally got the IV going at about 2PM and it runs for 4 days straight so that means beezrat hashem if all goes well discharge should be in the afternoon on Friday.

Usually Eli once he gets to the hospital decides he’s done eating until he leaves and today was no different. HOWEVER at 4PM he decided he was in the mood of eating and even though the hour was late Rabbi Ten and Adina at Bikur Cholim who never have let us down had it arranged and delivered shortly after. Eli ate it all and enjoyed it and we couldn’t be happier. THANKS

So far so good Eli is feeling fine and was in a great mood all day and finally got to sleep at about 11PM. Hopefully they won’t bother him to many times and will let him sleep so that he can be up and strong for tommorow. Bli ayin hora there have been no side effects and we hope it will stay that way.

Please daven that the week and all the treatments should go by easily for Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel.
