2/19/13

Eli for the most part had a very good day. He woke up pretty late after going to sleep very late but BH woke up in a great mood. He spent the late morning davening and playing games with his mother and had a few visitors. This afternoon and then again in the evening he was in the mood to take a long walk and I was very happy to allow him so we went for a long walk hooked up to the IV around the hospital. He had his favorite nurse tonight and gave her a huge welcome when she walked in for her shift. Eli is very good at making everyone around him happy.

In the late evening he was quite nauseous and unfortunately couldn’t hold down some of the food. He then got very tired finally very late in the night and finally agreed to call it a night. We are hoping that he wakes up the same way he did today and keeps his happy mood all day.

As the days continue and we keep hearing sometimes before and sometimes after the fact of the many chasadim, tefilos and Kabbalos that people are doing on behalf of Elimelech Ben Basya we feel it and know this is the reason he is so strong thru all of this and thru his strength and him being ok it makes all of us around him a lot more at ease we can’t properly ever thank everyone enough. Please continue to have him in mind in hopes that there will be no side effects and that the treatment should have its full effect and we should be Zoche to see Eli have a complete refua BKAROV

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”
