Chaim Dovid is back in the hospital. He is coughing up blood, and is on oxygen. His oxygen saturation level is not great, even on oxygen. The tumor on his lung has grown and is causing all this.

I think about him every single day. And I don't even know him that well- so I can't imagine how hard this must be for all of you. And for him.

I hope things improve for him.

I also keep thinking about you - davening, challah, etc. Today was my daughters birthday and she asked me who she should daven for and of course Chaim Dovid was on the top of the list.

I remember him as such a cute pleasant kid. Always smiling, laid back, friendly. Its really hard to imagine him going through all of this.

I am so sorry to hear this. we don't know each other, but my mother still goes to the same coloney as your parents did. your in the hearts and minds of many people there. I myself was discharged from sloan kettering last night, so I truly understand what your brother and family are going throgh. its not easy. I give you all a bracha for peace, and easy dealings with the trials and tribulations of cancer. its a horrible test, but there is also a gift in it, as its from hashem. even when it hurts, remember its given with love.

You remember correctly. He was laid back and always smiling. Now they keep raising the force of the oxygen he's on, and it helps for a bit and then gets worse. Not too many smiles anymore.

Amother, I hope you have a Refuah Shelaima. I just came from that same bungalow colony this morning, so I probably saw your parents there.

BDE
Dovid's journey is complete.
Even after following TWBM's story on imamother, I am stunned anyway.
May Hashem grant healing to the whole family and community.
I hope TWBM and family are OK with me sharing this, if for whatever reason not please forgive me and report the post.
