7/9/13

BH all went as planned today and we met Elis new DR who until we actually met him weren’t sure who he was but once we met we recognized him from him being the oncologist on call during many of Elis hospital stays. He is a very nice and straight forward guy and we are very happy to be one his patients. We discussed what to expect which we knew already that the next step in the treatment plan is radiation. BH Eli did gain a few pounds which was very welcome news.

Next we will be getting a call from the DR that does the radiation to set up a meeting to show us around and explain what and when to expect over the radiation period.

After the appointment we took Eli out to a few stores which he enjoyed and finally got home late in the afternoon for a backyard milchig picnic.

Beezrat hashem Elimelech Ben Basya will go to camp on Wednesday and reconnect with his friends and enjoy color war which is currently going on in camp. Please continue to daven that we should be zoche to see Eli and all cholim have a refua shelayma 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”
