5/8/13

Today was planned to be a relaxed day and BH that’s exactly what we got. Eli did some walking and getting out and that was followed by some visits from Zaidy, Elis rebbi Rabbi Jacobs and a few friends and family all of whom were very pleased to see a big change in the way Eli looked from just a few days ago. We look forward to this and we hope the next step will be some weight gain.
With nothing else planned for this week other then IYH getting good results on Thursday from the CT scan that Eli had on Tuesday we hope Eli gets to relax and rebuild himself as much as possible and as strong as possible to be able to have strength for the rough planned weeks and month or 2 ahead. There are a few more scans of importance and a small procedure all of which don’t have a confirmed date but should take place in the month of May prior to starting the bone marrow transplant.

We thank everyone that has and continues to daven on Elimelech Ben Basyas behalf as that for sure is the true reason that we keep seeing Eli keep bouncing back. We look forward to the day that the treatments are over and seeing the full refua of Eli 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”
