8/7/13

For the first time in almost 3 weeks we didn’t have to shlep down to CHLA Eli had the day off BH. For most of the day he relaxed at home aside from getting out for lunch and a few errands. We continue to try different things to help his stomach and hopefully one of them will work and will help him gain some weight.

IYH on Thursday Eli will join camp and go to Knotts berry farm which is a large amusement park where I will help him get on and off the rides that are suitable for him to go on. He can’t do anything wild because of his weakened state and not to upset either of his lines.

Today was a happy day for Binyomin Chaim Ben Faigie Sarah who is completely done treatment and had his line removed and we daven that he lives a healthy life to 120. Also today Chaya Mushka Bas Haddasa Shaina went to Camp Simcha which she has been wanting to go to for the last few months and BH things worked out for her to be able to go and enjoy. Eli received a big birthday cake today from Chai Lifeline for his birthday which made him really happy and the best part was that he actually ate a piece. Please continue as always to daven for these and cholim that they should be zoche to a refua shelayma

The next schedules appt is a CT scan on Monday which we daven that this scan and all the scans Elimelech Ben Basya will have every few months will always only be very clear and beezrat hashem disease free.

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”
