BH the cultures are still negative but because of yesterday’s scare Eli is still on all the antibiotics to make sure that if CV there is one that they are ahead of the game and already treating it. With each antibiotic there is usually pre meds which makes Eli tired and drowsy. They hope with each passing day or even sooner to wean him off of the antibiotics.

The plan now is to have Eli stay in CHLA until he is out of the neutropenic stage and that he gets back his blood counts so that his body can IYH fend for itself. There is no telling as to when that will happen but beezrat Hashem sooner then later so we can go home and pretend to have some normalcy. Eli has used a lot of donated blood and platelets and possibly will need more in the future and once again anyone that is healthy and has time should please donate on his behalf. Bikur Cholim had been arranging it and it’s literally been a lifesaver please call them to schedule 323-852-1900. Tizku lmitzvos

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”
