8/2/13

Eli slept pretty well last night and woke up a lot later then usual and then was off to CHLA for day 10 of 12 of radiation which went as smooth as the rest of them bli ayin hora. Hopefully Elis body will have a short rest without all the rays and medications and beezrat hashem will enjoy spending shabos with his cousins and uncles and aunts during shabos sheva brochos.

Monday and Tuesday are the last days of radiation and IYH Eli will have the rest of the week without having to be at all in the hospital. Right after radiation today I put him on the scale and it showed that he was exactly the same as he was when he left the hospital a few days ago so at least he didn’t lose any more weight.

This was a very special week for Binyomin Chaim Ben Faigie Sarah who BH is done the treatment plan and bli ayin hora received the unbelievable news of a clean bill of health and we bentch him with gezunt until 120. Hopefully he will be joined in a few months by Elimelech Ben Basya, Chaya Mushka bas Hadassa Shaina bsoch shaar choley yisroel. 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”
