Eli has been doing BH very well since the chemo and has gotten around all Shabos to shul and as always kept everyone laughing all Shabos. This week the home health nurse will check Eli’s labs and if anything is needed we will be in CHLA for transfusions. Other then that it’s time to recuperate.

On a terribly sad note Chaya Mushka Spalter 11 years old the daughter of Rabbi Mendy and Haddasa Spalter was niftar this afternoon after fighting the machla for 3 years. Never have a I felt a piece of me ripped out of me the way I do today. Our children were diagnosed about the same time and we became very close. Chaya fought tooth and nail and won so many times. There was never anything that was able to get in her way. She had more life to her then any other 11 year old. Chaya always had a beautiful smile that was contagious and she also never had a worry in her life. She was always surrounded by her parents, grandparents and family that made it that way and that all was and will be good. 
‎
Chaya was the girl everyone wanted to be friends with as she was always the most happening, fun yet caring girl. No matter how weak she was or how much apin she was in she always was ready to go. Just on Chol Hamoed she was biking on the beach. I had the zchus of walking with her on Friday 10 days ago when she was still so full of life. She was texting, laughing yet occasionally you were able to see how much pain she was in doing all that. 
‎
This is completely heartbreaking and devastating yet we know Chaya in a few hours will be in Gan Eden as she is accompanied on her final trip to Eretz Yisroel with her parents and family. She will no longer be suffering, in pain yet she will leave us all wondering how and why such a tragedy could happen. Chaya will be a mailitz yosher for her family, klal yisroel and of course all the many sick children who are fighting this terrible machla.  ‎
Chayas levaya will take place Sunday night at 8:45 at Yeshivas Ohr Elchonon in Los Angeles and the Aron will depart from LAX-TLV Monday morning and the kevura will be Tuesday afternoon. ‎

Please continue as always davening for Elimelech Ben Basya as well as ‎for Menucha Rochel Bas Gila Elka who is in desperate need of our tefilos bsoch shaar choley yisroel.
