3/3/13

Eli woke up today very late after going to sleep very late but BH he felt a lot better then the last few days. Although it was still hard for him to eat at least he made an attempt and was successful for the most part. I took him to the Clippers game today and he even made it to the jumbotron which made him feel very special and excited (thanks to a friend who gave us the tix and for arranging to get us on the screen). Eli then relaxed for the rest of the day and decided we should make a late night stop for ice cream which he enjoyed.

BH that we didn’t have to watch Eli in pain all day today as we have the last few days and we were finally able to see a smile on his face. Hopefully this will be the way it will stay as the hardest thing is to see him in pain. With nothing other then a Dr appt set for this week our goal as usual is to keep Eli healthy and eating a lot so he can have the strength to continue on the long road to his full recovery.

Please continue to have Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel is your tefilos and kabalos in hopes of keeping the pain and side effects away and that he should chas vshalom not get nay fevers or anything like that so we can continue to help Eli fight until he has a FULL refua 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”
