6/7/14

Beezrat hashem we will be heading to the airport in the morning for our flight to NY. We don’t know much for sure about exactly when treatment will start or end other then we hope it will start ASAP and that they will let us return to LA as soon as Eli is up to it. This treatment involves extremely high dose of radiation and therefore pregnant women are not allowed around and no one myself included can be with Eli for extended periods of time at once.

Once we are in patient or I know the situation and get a feel for it hopefully soon after that Eli will already be discharged from the hospital. The plan is for the actual treatment to take a few minutes but until the radiation levels in Elis body subsides they can’t let us leave.

On a VERY sad note we are completely torn and devastated to learn that Chana Tova Bas Esther Shoshana was removed from our cholim list today. Although we were not zoche to meet this special neshama being in contact somewhat over the last few months with her parents she has permanently touched us. There is no other place she can possibly be right now other then in a very special place in Gan Eden. A young girl taken from us will beezrat hashem be the last Korban ever and will be a mailitz Yosher for her family, the many other sick children and gantz klal yisroel that never seems to get a break from our tzoros. AD MOSAI!!! May her family have a nechama.

Please continue having Elimelech Ben Basya bsoch shaar choley yisroel in all your tefilos. A GUT VOCH

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”
