Beezrat hashem the news will always be this “boring” and all should just continue to be good and normal for Eli they way it has been going lately. He bli ayin hora has been making daily gains in all departments and feels very good about himself. We look forward to having a relaxed shabos at home.
Please continue having Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos that everything should continue to go smoothly and as planned.

BH things continue to head in the right direction and Eli is adjusting more and more to school and doing homework. He goes happily and comes home in a good mood. He also bli ayin hora has been eating a lot more and physically feeling and looking stronger.

Beezrat hashem this will continue until we reach the ultimate goal for Elimelech Ben Basya of a refua shelayma.

Another bli ayin hora very good day for Eli who once again lasted a full long day in school and really enjoyed it. He feels very good to be back in a setting that he is used to.

As always please continue having Elimelech Ben Basya in mind in all your tefilos.

BH Eli made it again thru a full day of school. Slowly but surely he is adjusting back to the school schedule and feels very good about himself. All we can say at this point is “halevay vayter”.

Please continue to have Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos.

We had another very relaxed day and spent it together mostly at home. Ari and Sori feel a lot more secure when Eli is home and upbeat. As much as they don’t fully understand the situation you can feel it in the air just from them when Eli isn’t home or isn’t feeling well. We look forward to 2 more weeks beezrat hashem of being home and enjoying the time together before we head back to CHLA for round 4 of 7 of immunotherapy.

Elimelech Ben Basya lrefua shelayma bsoch shaar choley ysiroel amen.

BH we had a most relaxing enjoyable Shabos and we are looking forward to the same for the week. Eli made it to shul and got out many times for fresh air even going on Motzei Shabos to the learning program.

Please continue having Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos etc. A GUT VOCH

Keep em coming this way. Another great day for Eli who went to school for a 2nd full day and came home very happy. He felt, seemed and looked stronger then yesterday and beezrat hashem that trend will continue.

This afternoon Eli reached a milestone that 11 months ago felt like it would take forever to get to. He got his first haircut and he felt so good about it.

FYI I sent a email yesterday regarding the group running for Chai Lifeline “team Eli” I’m sorry that you can’t click on the email version and you need to go to the actual website www.eligradon.com to be able to reach the link. Tizku lmitzvos.

Please continue to daven for Elimelech Ben Basya that we should be zoche to continue with only besuros tovos. A GUT SHABOS

We got what we hoped for today from Eli which is that he lasted a full day at school. Its the first real full day he has had in nearly a year and beezrat hashem the beginning of many more. The plan is for him to be in school for the full short Friday as well.

BH Eli continues to show that he’s gaining strength and we couldn’t be happier. Like we have said since day one “one day at a time”.

Please continue davening for Elimelech Ben Basya that we should be zoche to see this continue.

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”

The Gradons

Eli had a great day today. He was up on time got to school on time and was given the honor by his rebbi Rabbi Weiner to be the chazan which he really enjoyed. He was meant to be in school until 230 today but at 11AM I received a call from Chai Lifeline that someone generously donated amazing seats to the dodger game which I couldn’t resist. So I picked up Eli early from school and we went and thoroughly enjoyed the entire game.

Beezrat hashem on Thursday Eli will spend the whole day in school which he has only done once since being diagnosed. We hope that he will have the strength to do it and that it will become a regular thing as often as possible.

Please continue davening for Elimelech Ben Basya that everything should go and continue to go as easily and as quickly as possible.
