In Hospital For Shabbos????

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Yesterday Moshe went in for bloods - the results were fair. Nupregen injection at home - to boost white blood cells - must continue. Mom did it on Thursday because our dear Doctor friend, Avron, was not in town to do it this time. Moshe was very brave. Anyone who needs lessons in bravery with needles talk to Moshe about some tips.

Then Friday morning arrived. Woops - slight temperature!!!!  ….Does this mean in hosptial for shabbos?????????? Oh no!!

Got all packed and ready with entertainment for the weekend and shabbos…

Moshe got to the hospital - met with all his hospital friends - Tal, William, Jaimee Lee… had his bloods done. And then finally met with the doctor - Wow. Moshe was NOT staying. What a relief.  Just some Augmentin and Moshe was saved.  Home with the family 4 Shabbos.  Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all the friends and family warming our lives with love, care and
davening. We feel surrounded in the most beautiful way.

Have a good shabbos.

B’ahava
With love

The Manchester United Story

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Good day all,

Something happened yesterday which makes us very proud of our dear son Moshe.

Yesterday we received a call from Reach for a Dream South Africa. They called to tell us they had 2 tickets available to meet the Manchester United Soccer team (this is the team that Moshe supports in the English soccer league).

They wanted to give Moshe one of these tickets which is like gold. What an opportunity to meet these great players face to face and get his soccer kit signed by the whole Manchester team! Truly a great opportunity and a dream for sports-loving boys.

We mentioned it to Moshe and immediately his eyes lit up and got so excited.

We said Moshe would love to meet the team and asked when and where we should go to meet them.

The lady on the other side of the telephone line said, “4.30pm Friday afternoon at Monte Casino”. Yes, that time is 45 minutes before Shabbat comes in and Monte Casino is 35 minutes from our house!

Moshe immediately understood and said to us, “Ok, so I cant go because we cant get back before Shabbat. It really does not matter”. And with that he carried on with what he was doing beforehand.

He still continues to be a Manchester United supporter.

He truly continues to set an example to us of a wonderful and glowing Jew. SHEKOACH MOSHE!

Shabbat Shalom,

Love the Altschulers
