Happy holidays and some better news...

To all of you out there that have supported us in so many different ways, we thank you so very much .. For now we think of you and thank you again! Yaffa has been in San Fransisco for 2 weeks now. We think that the combination of being in a much better facility, and that it was finally time, she has improved a lot. She is much less noshes, and much less in pain. She is able, most of the time to keep food down. The doctors here seem to be competent, much more attentive and human. ! We found a good Russian kidney doctor. She is on dialysis every day now and is much less swollen. She has started physical therapy and 10 days in to it, she is able to sit a little. It is all very hard, and very, very slow, but nevertheless this time, it really seems to be finally moving in the right direction. We are trying to get the insurance to cover the expenses of the Jewish home, when that time should come. Her improvements are very encouraging. although at the moment she is still very week. They are watching her very closely for the next 10/15 days to make sure no more infections flare up. If you know her, she is as positive as they come, but physically and emotionally she has been put through a lot, and we all know there is much more ahead. . Fortunately or unfortunately our reality is not new and or different. It seems just more challenging and needless to say we are tired. We are over whelmed with playing catch up with almost 3 month of everything on hold, or simply forgotten about. We lost out on so much work, and instead of having a moment to regroup we must keep moving. We are fairly depleted of any resource at the moment. We really hope that it gets better before it gets worse again!!! So please forgive us if we do not respond promptly to calls, and have had a hard time even keeping the blog updated as often as we would like. At the same time we want to thank all the people from the Jewish home that have shown there love and support. We really, really appreciate. For all of you who have expressed the desire to visit, we will let you know as soon as it becomes possible. Thanks again, we wish you all a very happy new year and send our love to all.


P.S. We still need a car ,please keep in mind, it would really make a difference.
