December 21

Hello Friends ,
Today is 1 year since Sammy's initial diagnosis. It was bitter news,but we finally find out what was really wrong . We have searched to find an answer and there it was .
It's hard to describe that feeling when your blood freezes in your veins,when you can't hear your heart beat anymore,when you feel adrenalin rush to your temples-all in that moment -when you hear that your child has 'Life threatening condition'.
On the positive side with correct diagnosis -in the past year we could research,weigh our options and fight for Sammy's life ,something we could not do before. We are lucky in the way that ,we have had an opportunity ,options ,possibility's to help Sammy to survive. And now we give our trust and future to Almighty, creator of us all. Looking for a miracle and further instructions ,we praying for 'His' help to turn this illness around and help to balance and recover Sammy's body and sole.
Sammy have had an exceptional day today.Its first day of Hanukkah ! We had many visitors today and Sammy enjoyed all the attention.
Sammy's had attended local school for Kindergarten and 1st Grade. He has many friends that ask about him. Parents ,Teachers,Students all ask Eva how Sammy is doing. Few days ago we got a visitor with a Special 'Surprise' .About 2 weeks ago she visited us last time and could not stop thinking of us she shared her visit experience and send a letter with update on Sammys condition. When she came in this time she handed me envelope with many signatures - Get Well wishes and a gift . We could not believe how many people thinking of us. We are ,so fortunate to have such a special school staff and family's surrounding us!
Thank you! Happy ,Healthy Holiday's!!
Sincerely , Sammy and Mom

sometimes i like to respond to your blog without a name 4 i am certain that there are a multitude of readers outthere following your story, and doing mitzvos 4 sammy in a very real and personal way. and yet cannot articulate their feelings and thoughts,in written form. your very unusual blog for about a year now inspires communities and families.Chanuka reminds of Chana steadfast invincible unbreakable spirit. u seem like the chana in our times, who merits G-d's ultimate praises.
