2/26/13

With his schedule in hand and all his high tech equipment he has now Eli had a late start to the day after not sleeping that well (a lot of itching) he for the most part kept to the schedule we made him. Late in the afternoon we took a drive to munchies for dessert with his siblings and all enjoyed. We all love spending as much as possible home time with Eli as we keep our high hopes of keeping him away from the hospital aside for scheduled visits.

We hope to be able to continue with only good news and getting a small sense of normalcy in Elis and our lives during the recuperation time he has in between treatments. With not much planned other then to get Eli as strong as possible in preparation for the next round we hope to give him as much attention as he needs and wants.

The good days are IYH here to stay and they are only here as a result of the many zchusim Elimelech Ben Basya has coming from literally all over the world. Please continue to daven on his behalf so he and we can continue seeing only improvements and chas vashalom no side effects.

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”
