Beezrat hashem we will be heading to the airport in the morning for our flight to NY. We don’t know much for sure about exactly when treatment will start or end other then we hope it will start ASAP and that they will let us return to LA as soon as Eli is up to it. This treatment involves extremely high dose of radiation and therefore pregnant women are not allowed around and no one myself included can be with Eli for extended periods of time at once.

Once we are in patient or I know the situation and get a feel for it hopefully soon after that Eli will already be discharged from the hospital. The plan is for the actual treatment to take a few minutes but until the radiation levels in Elis body subsides they can’t let us leave.

On a VERY sad note we are completely torn and devastated to learn that Chana Tova Bas Esther Shoshana was removed from our cholim list today. Although we were not zoche to meet this special neshama being in contact somewhat over the last few months with her parents she has permanently touched us. There is no other place she can possibly be right now other then in a very special place in Gan Eden. A young girl taken from us will beezrat hashem be the last Korban ever and will be a mailitz Yosher for her family, the many other sick children and gantz klal yisroel that never seems to get a break from our tzoros. AD MOSAI!!! May her family have a nechama.

Please continue having Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel in all your tefilos. A GUT VOCH

We got the OK this morning from the DR to travel to NY after the blood tests that were drawn on Thursday came back BH ok. We are on a 11:15AM flight to JFK thanks to Chai Lifeline once again for arranging our travel with only the best accommodations. On Monday Eli has a 930AM Dr appt in MSKCC and I guess we will go from there. It is possible that he won’t be admitted until Tuesday but we won’t know that until we are there.

Bli ayin hora Eli feels very good and we hope it always stays that way. I was also informed today that it is more then likely that we won’t be back in LA as soon after as I hoped but that remains an open topic for the DRs to decide.

Please as always keep Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel in all your tefilos during this Shabos and especially the next few days and weeks. This MIBG treatment that he will IYH undergo we hope will bring the refua Eli needs. A GUT SHABOS

Eli started taking the 2 medications on Monday morning and we will find out if it beezrat hashem did what it was intended to do on Friday. Bli ayin hora for the most part Eli has been feeling pretty good and even made it to school a few times in the last few weeks for short periods of time with the help of his rebbi Rabbi Weiner and his class they all really enjoyed.

As of now we plan to take a Sunday AM flight to NY and check in to MSKCC on Monday for anywhere from 3 days and on. In a perfect world we hope to come back to LA 8 days later on Monday. The MIBG treatment is very high radioactive materials and therefore only short periods of visitation at one time is recommended for everyone.

Unfortunately the list of Cholim doesn’t seem to diminish and some of the Cholim now more then ever need our tefilos desperately. The list is long but here are a few names: Chaya Zisa Elka Bas Blumah, Chana Tova Bas Esther Shoshana, Chaya Mushka Bas Hadassa Shayna, Golda Bas Miriam and of course Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel. If everyone can do something bzchus all of these cholim who so desperately need and deserve a refua shelayma bkarov. We should be zoche to see this YT of Shavous celebrated next year in EY AMEN.

A GUT YOM TOV
