4/24/14

YT was really very nice and mostly relaxed and BH there were no complications, Dr appointments, or hospital visits either. Eli felt bli ayin hora very good and kept all of us entertained. Being in shul with his uncles, cousins and Zaidy made him so happy. The plan was originally to check into CHLA 10 days ago for chemo but because Elis platelet count didn’t meet criteria (which we are not complaining about as we were all able to enjoy being home for YT) they kept trying every few days.

The good news is that it climbed after each and every blood test but just not to the levels needed. Finally today he is nearly there so we as of now are scheduled to do the next round of chemo beginning on Monday IYH. It is once again extremely high dose chemo and will be given daily for 5 days. It is meant to bring all of Elis immune system and blood counts to very low levels and then the plan is to inject some of his own stem cells that they still have back in him to jump start the blood counts rise. It is once again very likely to cause fever but hopefully the DRs will be wrong and it won’t.
Over YT Eli received many gifts, letters, brochos and the list is endless of food and visits that came and we owe everyone that did their own thing on Elimelech Ben Basyas behalf a very big thank you and we hope to only share in each others simchas and Besuros Tovos. 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”
