BH on the first day of YT in the morning we got the good news that the infection that Eli had wasn’t the same infection that he had last time. While they don’t know why he got this infection and the reactions he had as a result don’t match the infection he has but once they saw he had 3 negative blood cultures and looked and felt good they decided that we can leave on the first day of YT at about 4PM. This was a great YT present to both Eli and I and the family as being in the ICU or any part of the hospital with no Sukka and alone isn’t easy to say the least. Eli is on very strong IV antibiotics now and needs to have it 4X a day and take pre meds to fend off any reaction 30 minutes prior to the 90 minute IV.

We are also taking a lot of extra precautions to try to help make sure that this was the last infection Eli ever gets by keeping his line and everything around him a lot more sterile.

We did have the first night of YT “Uncle Yoeli” join us for the seuda and there were many people that planned to walk the long walk there and back to be with us but BH it wasn’t needed after all. One special family did take the long walk and were able to greet us as we were getting into the taxi to say Good Bye.

Eli enjoyed the family and being home, in shul, in a sukka and just relaxing and BH felt very good. The next thing is a blood draw on Monday just to make sure things are ok which IYH will be done at home by his home health nurse. Monday after Sukkos the 20th Eli is scheduled to have a bone marrow procedure to help decide what the next treatment should be. It generally takes a few days for those results and we will meet Elis DR on Thursday the 23rd to hopefully plan it all out.

Please continue davening for Elimelech Ben Basya and all cholim. A GUT MOED and A GUT VOCH
