Beezrat hashem this will be the last time I will ever write GUT SHABOS from CHLA. Eli is bli ayin hora off of ALL IVs and hopefully it will stay that way. The DRs are very happy with how he is doing and coming along. They want to keep Eli on observation to make sure he can hold his own with IYH no fevers or CV any complications.

4 consecutive Shabosim not being home and being in CHLA hasn’t been easy but BH all seems to be moving in the right direction and we hope will continue to stay that way. Rabbi Ten from Bikur Cholim really lifted Elis spirits today when he came to the hospital with the Dushinsky Rebbe and his gaboyim. The rebbe gave Eli many brochos, spoke with Eli and then we all sang a nigun together. The rebbe then continued to give Bassy and myself brochos of only gezunt and yeshua.

Once again thank you to everyone who continues to have Elimelech Ben Basya in mind in their tefilos, kabalos, etc. Thank you a few of our true friends who have constantly come to visit us in the hospital and have non stopped offered their assistance in helping with the kids, having Bassy and the kids for Shabos meals, and the many others whose Kugels, cakes, cookies, snacks, shabos food, flowers etc really made this whole ordeal a lot easier for us. THANK YOU. 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”
