Eli had another uneventful relaxed day today. After realizing once Eli was in CHLA with Bassy that I had the wrong date for the appointment which is really scheduled for Tuesday Eli spent the rest of the afternoon eating and then heading to a indoor arcade room. BH the stroller was left behind again as we are bli ayin hora seeing a very nice improvement in Elis strength department. Later in the evening we were invited to a private kesivas osyios of a sefer tora bzchus refua shelayma to another young LA girl who had the same machla as Eli and is BH in remission for a while. We had a chance to help along with a sofer along with many other families with children whom are cholim arranged by Chai Lifeline to write an oys.

On Tuesday Eli has a short appointment scheduled in CHLA in preparation for Wednesdays scan. Hopefully right after the scan we will be able to meet with Elis Dr who has been on vacation for a while for a update on the results and the plan for the stem cell transplant.

We look forward to hearing continued good news for Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel as we look forward to seeing them all be zoche to a refua shelayma 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”
