Bli ayin hora late this afternoon Eli went to the bathroom and for the first time since April 6th (surgery) he didn’t have diahrea!! It seems like the medication and NG tube are having a positive effect. Eli as usual is in good spirits and enjoyed that a lot of the family, uncles, zaidy and cousins came to visit before shabos. This Shabos Chuf Av is Elis hebrew birthday so his room is decorated with balloons and signs etc (thank you Tante Shevy). We look forward to 112 more birthdays for Eli in good health.

Eli had his 5th of 12 radiation today and BH continues to go smoothly. They are also slowly raising the amount they are putting into his feeding tube and BH he hasn’t had any problems with that. We will be spending Shabos here at CHLA but hopefully on Sunday he will beezrat hashem be able to go home from this unexpected hospital visit and hopefully he will be stronger and weigh more then he has by then and only continue that way.

Today the LA community and the world are all davening for many of its cholim but one in particular that is in desperate need of rachmay shomayim Ruchama Avigayil Maima Rochel bas Rifka Penina who is local woman whose tzidkus knows no boundaries and IYH we will all be zoche to see her bsoch shaar choley yisroel have a refua shelayma so she can continue her chasadim and be with her family in good health.

Shabos hi melizuk these days isn’t taken for granted and we daven to take those words literally for Elimelech Ben Basya and unfortunately to many other cholim. A GUT SHABOS

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”
