Tehilim for Bubby:

Hey all,
I tried to divide the tehilim up
amongst the grandchildren - every
grandchild who is able, I gave a quota
of tehilim, and if everyone says their
quota, we complete the tehilim everyday.
Please show this to your children and make
sure they say it -- I might call some of you
just to make sure they know:

Davening Betzibur

It was suggested from a holy man that we should do as much davening and tehillim for Bubby betzibur.

So any group events going on in your community, calling your childrens teachers, gatherings to please give them Bubby's name for tefillah and a complete recovery NOW!

Straight from Sefer Hazichronos!

How interesting and behashgocho protis it was for me to read today from sefer hazichronos of the Frierdike Rebbe (Vol. 2) about Baruch Viazner. There it speaks about how in his desperation for something to be fulfilled, he took upon himself as a penance to fast for 72 hours straight since it's the numerical value of Chesed - Kindness. During this period he didn't sleep nor talk to anyone but just studied Torah and Davened.

I don't suggest for a moment that anyone take on any such fasting especially since it's not our derech, but we certainly can do acts of chesed which relate to the number 72 which is Mommy's age. Why not increase in acts of Chesed-Kindness in her zechus and as a practical suggestion to give tzedokoh in the numerical value of chesed - 72 such as 72 cents to tzedokoh each day during shacharis and before mincha. As mommy is Chesed years old, may she be zocheh right away to be fully healed in a manner that is bChesed UveRachamim - Amen vechain Yehi Rotzon!

BYES!! Bubby's open them twice before on Tuesday and Wednesday,
(sorry I didnt post) but just for about 3 minutes BARUCH HASHEM -- she
looked very good, my mother was there and was so excited -- she was
looking around, but now-
a) Zaidy is finally there to see the miracle
b) this is after the tracheostophy (they put her
to sleep) and she didnt open them since
c) she's keeping them open for a very LONG time!!!!!!!!!
BARUCH HASHEM!!!!!!

MAY THE ULTIMATE NEWS THAT WE WANT TO HEAR BE POSTED
BEEZRAS HASHEM VERY
SHORTLY...

LEAH

BARUCH HASHEM!!!!!!!

With many thanks to Hashem! with the help of all our tefilos!
Bubby opened her eyes and is looking around!!!!!!!!!

From Esta Rimler in Yerushalyim

I cant post on the blog but i was spking to my principal and she said that the year of hey teves the rebbe said that zayin teves is a special day-zman miyichud maybe i dont know what its caled..so on zayin the Rebbe sent people to the kosel and kever rochel to daven bc its a good time...so today im going to the kosel and pass the message on-maybe sone can go to the ohel or sthing..

besouros tovos

Hey Teves

Shalom to all!

I was at the hospital this morning and it came to my mind - that the ultimate news we want to hear is that Bubby woke up and is alert. We don't really need a blog for that. Believe me YOU AND THE WORLD will know!

We should use this blog to post all the wonderful hachlatos, mivtzoim, shiurim, mitzvos that are taking place in her zechus.

Organizing the hospital shifts - doing shifts - phone calls unfortunately take up time, it would be encouraging for those here ( who would really want, but phyiscally it's sometimes impossible) to hear spiritual things that are going on!

Perhaps take on something that you know will make Bubby so proud - something that you knew bothered her.

Thank you. We need to be positive, strengthened and supported and I believe that if we arm ourselves with spirituality iyh we will see the immediate post we want to see!

Didan Netzach!

from yossi

As today hey teves is my birthday 51 = nun alef, nah. And its mazolo gover, i give a berocho and ask abakosho nafshis from the Ribono shel olam, hamerachem al hakol, to send a REFUAH SHLIEMA TO MOMMY TIPORAH BAS SHOSHE RAIZEL YOCHEVED LREFUAH SHLIMA UKEROVAH. AND IN THE ZECHUS OF ALL HER MAASIM TOVIM AND ALL THE TEFFILOS MAY HASHEM HEAR OUR PRAYERS AMEN.

__._,_.___

Amazing Gematria

Sorry, just a minor correction to the gematria. Tziporah is actually 381. Rapoy plus 100. The addition of 100 is the idea of shleimus hamispar - a complete round number which the rebbe often spoke about. This would therefore signify that Mommy will have not just any refuah but rather an absolute complete refuah ie. 100 % Rapoy!!!

Amazing Gematria

Amazingly the gematria of Tziporah is 281 the same as Rapoy
Tzadik, Pay, Vov, Raish, Hay = 281
Resh, Pay, Aleph = 281

The word Rapoy is the shoresh of the word refuah as it says in the Torah v'Rapoy Yerapeh - mikan shinitan reshus lerofeh leRapos! Amen vechen yehi rotzon.

Some good news...

Hey -- so I got really great news...

This morning the nurse told my mother

that when she was cleaning bubby, or whatever

she was doing and bubby really wasnt comfortable

so for a split second bubby opened her eyes!!!!!!!!! Baruch Hashem

May this be the final step before bubby completely wakes up back to

herself very very very soon! Amen!!

Besuros Tovos,

Leah

*Update*

Hey all-

I just got back from a quick 10 minutes at the hospital

with bubby. I stood next to bubby, rubbed her hand and

arm and kept on talking to her. I told her that I love her

and I miss her and she should have a complete refuah

I also kept on telling her -- about 100 times 'open your eyes

bubby, open your eyes.' Or 'squeeze my hand, move your hand'

etc. after about the 10th time I told her to open her eyes

she scrunched up her left eye and the corner of her mouth.

that same thing happened again a few moments later --

Baruch Hashem!!

Sashi has a friend that has someone in Israel she always

calls for problems or... whatever and he predicts - she said he

is always pretty accurate. So this friend asked this person about

bubby, and he said she will wake up Beezras Hashem Yisborech

and then she asked him if bubby will be able to talk, walk etc.

so he said yes -- he said very, very soon. She pressured him to

tell her a date and she got the date, but was told not to tell sashi -

so we dont know the date -- all we do know is that with Hashem's

help - bubby will B'ezras Hashem Yisborech get up completely happy and

healthy and will hopefully Bezras Hashem Yisborech wont need

therapy for even one day!! Amen! She will go back to the bubby we all

remember!!

and I am in the mean time waiting for a phone call from Sashi in

the hospital 'Mommy woke up!!!and is completely normal!!!!!!'

I still truly believe that with positive and hopeful attitudes, and lots of

prayers -- Bubby/ Mommy will be like we all want her to be -- back to

her usual healthy, happy, lovable self.

Besuros Tovos,

Keep praying --

Leah

hey teves- from yossi

As we await day to day progress, i would like to suggest, that as Tue, Hey Teves, is a very special day, Didan Notzach, It is also my birthday, To proclaim a Taanis Shaot, a half day fast by all family members who can fast a half day for a refuah shliema for Bubby. (Fasting with tefilla and Tzedakah is one of the greatest remedies) If you can't fast or are pregnant etc please don't.

If you intend to fast, you should accept it during Mincha before that is Mon at mincha time.

Please relate this to Tatty. Thanks.

from yossi

As we wait for arefuah shliema, i would like to share some medical info. so that no gets to anxious why things aren't happening faster, all signs show progress steady and good.

GENERAL INFO.

Bubby suffered a subdural hematoma known as (SDH) a condition when blood collects underneath the protective covering of the brain known as the DURA. The Dura is the outermost and strongest of the 3 protective layers of the brain. with (SDH) viens (blood vessels) that are in the Dura may tear and bleed . Blood collects within the dura causing the dura to expand, push and compress the brain. This compression can lead to medical problems when not treated soon enough.

The brain is protected by 2 layers. 1) the skull which protects from external damage. 2) Between the skull and the brain itself is a tough leathery tissue, called the Dura. The dura serves 2 prurposes, a. another layer of protection around the brain. b) providing vasculation that nourishes the brain with blood and spinal fluid. During a severe blunt head trauma the bridging blood vessels that connect the dura to the skull mat tear beacause of shearing forces to the head. A shearing force is one that is applied parallel to the blood vessel rather then directly prpindicular to it.

After the shearing stress the broken vessels bleed into the space between the skull and the dura The pooling of blood puts pressure to the brain and it swells in response. Because the skull creates a defined volume, there is no extra room for thr brain to swell and therefore parts of the brain become compressed.

Doctors may use adjectives as acute, subacute, and chronic to describe the time course and volume of blood in (SDH), Acute; hematomas that gather large amounts of blood, Sub acute: refer to SDH that occur 3-5 days following a head injury. Chronic - refer to SDH that produce symptoms 2-3 weeks after an injury. SDH are classified as simple and complicated. After surgical removal patients need to remain in intensive care for some time.

Good news:

Half of all cases are simple with a strong chance of comlete recovery. 80% of patients with slow choronic SDH recover fully. (Karen as a relative who had a similar fall in his 70s, he recoverd fully and is now in his 90s.) While many have risks with siezures, it can be controlled with medication. Immediate surgery and treatment (which was bubbys case) also greatly reduce risks of long term problems. In all from the research is very in line with the optimistic hold of doctors.

Also the more relaxing and brain rest the better are results. So we all keep praying and hoping for a complete Refuah Amen.

*Update*

So, yes -- I'm a little late, but on Thursday night
they removed the monitor and lowered the sedation by half!
Baruch Hashem!!

Slowly they lowered it more and more, and on Shabbos
they took her off the sedation completely. They lowered
the oxygen in the respirator 'cuz she is also breathing...
Baruch Hashem!!
I went to see her tonight in the hospital for the 1st time -- and
she looks much better than what I had imagined.
I was told that her face looks MUCH MUCH more like herself
and she is in general looking better.

Shabbos I was with Tzvi, Pearl, the kids and Chanie and her baby
with Zaidy.
We made it nice and frailich -- something was missing -- but IYH
may this be the last Shabbos that the 'something' is missing.

I truly have a lot of belief that she will come back to the bubby we all
remember, and being just posotive -- I truly believe that is what will help.

Besuros Tovos --
May we only hear good news --

Leah

Is there access to a phone in her room?

I was wondering if we could call and someone could hold the phone to her ear and we could talk to her.

Can someone respond please and tell us if this is a possibility?

Good News --

Just came home from school -- my first dash was the phone.

I called my mother and got some really great news --

Last night someone called my mother - the head of Hatzalah

here in CH, and discussed the situation and asked my mother

if bubby has her personal doctor involved --

My mother said no and then started getting nervous realizing that

when the doctor in the hospital tells her or whoever is there what

they are giving bubby or what is going on -- nobody has any clue what

these terms mean etc. etc. ....

So the man on the phone -- Yingy Bistritzky, called doctor Rozen -- a

highly respected doctor in CH, and asked him to get involved.

So... for the good news --

Doctor Rozen got involved and said that the doctors in the hospital

did things very well, and he said that BARUCH HASHEM there is no

reason as to why medically bubby could not

chas veshalom come back to her whole self completely -- in other words

Bubby has a great chance -- it is very possible for her to come completely

back like she was!! :) Baruch Hashem!!

may we only continue hearing good news!!

News

Last night pearl went there --

the pressure went up really high, like into the 30's

so they changed the medication.

But not to worry, the numbers then slowly went down...

Pearl said that bubby is looking more and more like

herself her face, her body... you know -- less bloated... Baruch Hashem

and she is Baruch Hashem breathing herself -- So the

doctors said that the respirator and the sedatives will

work together -- they will slowly take her off the sedatives,

and slowly take her off the respirator -- Baruch HaShem!!

update from Dr.

just spoke with Dr. SOl now, and asked for an update-
she says that right now they have to keep giving her beta blockers to keep her blood pressure down, and the ICP numbers are all over the place, which may mean that it is time to take out the ICP moniter.
So they may do that tomorrow she said. I imagine it will be like another minor surgery to remove it.
if htey remove it and her vitals reamin stable, then they will try to wean her off the sedatives.

right now she is happy with her progress and hopeful.

*New update*

They took bubby in for another CT scan, and
Baruch Hashem they said it was doing very well --
I guess that means the pressure is going down.
They said that slowly they'll sedate her less and less
and IYH on Friday, they'll hopefully see if they can
take her of the sedatives -- Baruch Hashem!!

Mendy said

Mendy tried to post this but it came out as a comment on my post instead.

A special thanks from me too to Leah, Michal and Pearl for those detailed positive updates. I have been walking around the past few days subdued and in a bit of a daze not knowing what's really going on and you have lifted a stone from my chest now that I finally heard the first of some positive updates.Let's hope this continues at even a faster pace in the hope that we will be able to celebrate another Chanukah miracle before the end of Chanukah.Sorry for the dumb question, but was just wondering whether with all of the round-of-clock visits, does she actually get some real time to sleep as I can imagine every visitor wants to be able to talk and sing to her without really knowing what she's actually up to - ie. sleep or listening to music and talk.

From Chagit

Thankyou pearl and michal for the posts, they were very informative and cleared up a few things we were confused about.
> I don't know how to post there but I was wondering, you both say you were told to talk to her, would it help for those of us from out of town to call and someone hold the phone to her ear or have a conference call on speakaphone and we can speak to her?

B"H the numbers are good

So this is all about numbers.
The surgeon told us that the 4th day after surgery, the numbers are always the highest. And yesterday they were pretty high- B"H with everyone talking to her the numbers were kept under control, but today was a good day. The numbers of the ICP are staying down. Every time they agitate her , like taking her to CAT scans and such the numbers go up.
Which they expected to happen, but when they took her for the last CAT scan, the ICP numbers stayed down. Which is excellent news!

Right now the goal is to keep the numbers down. If after Shabbos the numbers stay down, then they will try to take her out of sedation and see how she reacts.
So lets all continue to daven and say tehillim for her!
Bsoros Tovos!

The 5th Licht

Tzvi just told me a beautiful thing about the power of the fifth licht - I told him to stand next to me, to type it up. He was running out the door - he, Eli and Avremel went to surprise Zaidy with a little farbrengen.
It's Tuesday evening 8:40 p.m. - if Mendy and Shmuli want to call in for a few minutes.

Boruch Hashem, Baila called me this evening - they did another CT scan on Bubby and Boruch Hashem the swelling went down a lot, her ICP has been hanging for awhile around 12!

They were suctioning out Bubby and they said on her own she gave a few coughs - which is great!

BORUCH HASHEM each licht we are seeing such postive miracles from Hashem! Bubby is a fighter, strong and letting herself relax.

Thanks for all those that are praying and doing mitzvos for her worldwide and those that were there with her today relaxing her.

May we continue to share only simchadike news!

A freilichin Chanukah!

so true

Leah what you wrote is so true. I can just picture when she wakes up B'ezras Hashem the thing that will distress her the most is the thought of us all being miserable on Chanuka. She will probably be angry about that so best we don't give her what to be angry about and we be b'simcha and have bitachon that she will soon be bustling around again.

about the speech, I don't know if you all know or not though some of you do, when this all first happened, Mendy wrote a letter to the Rebbe and put it in the igros. I'll let him post which letter it was in which sefer but the letter was addressed to someone having issues with pain and speech and the Rebbe wrote that surely the doctors have the right treatment but the main thing is to have bitachon and to not be too stressed.

Hi all -- a message from Bubby, new updates

Hello everybody!
I haven't had the ability to go see our dear bubby, but, yet I have a message
that I am sure bubby wishes to give over: let's enjoy our Chanukah, be b'simcha, let us not
sit all day being depressed, (though it's because we care...) it doesnt
help us or bubby. Bubby wants us to enjoy ourselves,
Hashem will I'YH take her out of this state she is in, and make her return
back to being the healthy, humerous, lovable bubby we all remember. So let us all pray, be
hopeful, and continue enjoying life. "Mitzvah Gedola Lehyot Besimcha Tamid!"
*Recent update*
Bubby's left side of the brain is more bruised up then the right side. Regularly Broca's Area-
which is the part of the brain that controls speech, is on the left side of the brain, which is
why the doctors thought that her speech might have been affected. But now, the doctors
found out that bubby is left-handed (right side of brain controls left side of body) and
Baruch Hashem say that because of that, her speech is also found on the right side of her brain
(which was not bruised as much) Baruch Hashem.
** Bubby went for a blood transfusion

May we continue hearing only good news!
Happy Chanukah!
Besuros Tovos,
Leah

A Freilichen Chanukah from Bubby!

Morning to all,

Last night I spent sometime with Ima/Mommy/Bubby from 9 - to closer to one.

I'm just going to blog to all my visit - (Michal I'll do it here this time and then send me how to access the blog.)

Bubby's is a strong strong women - who unexpectedly had two brain surgeries back to back, having that in mind she is doing great!

We have to realize that when someone medically needs to schedule such a surgery, there is always given recovery time to let them heal from the procedure.
So that's what is exactly happening now - BORUCH HASHEM - both procedures went very well, now we are just allowing Bubby's brain to HEAL and be better than ever.
Here's how it's healing;

1) Rest - not to cause pressure on the brain she is sedated - but we need her to relax and rest, so the brain can rest and heal fully and properly.

2) She does hear - imagine dozing off to the peaceful sounds of the ocean waves.
So when we go to visit - we are trying to create for her in the enviroment she is in - a peaceful oasis.

3) How to do this : Singing softly to her, massage her hand, whisper to her, say tehillim - anything that will relax her brain to heal (Meaning keep the swelling down)

In her room there is a vertical box that's says ICP with a digital number - we want to get the number close to 10. So keep on eye on that box - if you are singing her a song and it's close to 10 - your doing a great job.

I saw immediate response as her numbers increased I started singing and they dropped under 20.

Pretty cool, on the drive over to the hospital, I said Ima when I get there I want the number to be 18 - and it was . So she's definitely working with us - together - better than the medication, we will show the staff our Awesome G-d and his miracles.

Estella - the nurse/staff when they see our behaviour in this excersice they join in.
She commented to Bubby -"Tzipi - you're doing a good job!" It was cute.
She even recited Psalm 121 in english. I told her keep saying it.

So when it's your shift - be spirited- be calm - play the digital number game to relax her.
I feel the more relax she is consistently it will help her brain heal much faster.

This should be our focus now - not be overwhelmed with other predictions.
With the brain healing in such a relax manner - I firmly believe we won't have to worry about predictions.

Looking forward to seeing her soon - better than ever. Thank you everyone.

A freilichen Chanukah - Bubby has a box of chocolate coins in her room - she wanted to give you guys - so take and thank.

Besuros Tovos!

Pearl

Shmuly and Michal /Dec. 13-14

So now that I had a normal night sleep (and much more appreciation for those covering the night shift) I can sit and write our thoughts about what we saw and heard.
We know that there are many of you who are itching to be here, and see her in person, so I will do my best to describe everything.
We left early in the morning, and after a harrowing 9 hour trip (should have taken 2) we arrived at Lutheran Hospital. I have seen many hospital shows and read many books, and thought that I was prepared to see our beloved mother. But there is nothing in the world that can prepare us to see a vibrant energetic woman medically induced to lying still and connected to tubes. I have to say that it was a shock, a blow to the heart and after we both saw her and approached the bed Shmuly and I looked at each other and immediately welled up with tears. She has 2 tubes coming out of her mouth, one taped to her nose, a little container to the left side of her heard which is draining blood, a knob like thing on the top of her head to measure the pressure in her brain. White, pink tinged bandages covered with clear "tape" on many parts of her head. They needed to shave her hair to be able to do all these surgeries, but they only removed what they needed.
IV's hooked up to deliver a sedative, another fluids and nourishment. pain meds. another in her foot to measure her blood pressure and used to pull out blood to measure her blood gases. Her eyes were firmly shut and mouth slightly parted to accommodate the tubes.

Pearl saw that we were having a hard time, so she says- "Look at her eyebrows. They are prefect." And she was right. Her eyebrows stand out in sharp contrast to the rest of her- Beautifully shaped, and untouched. We approached the bed and picked up her hand, which was slightly swollen from the fluids. Her nails were perfectly manicured. But these hands are not familiar, because to be so they would need to be moving doing, cleaning cooking.
But we held her hands and told her we were there. They said that we should talk to her, that she can hear.
Baila showed us what each tube and machine was doing for her, and our job was to monitor them, especially the ICP. Of course the nurses are also monitoring, but somehow it made us feel better knowing that everything was working and doing the right thing.
And after hugs all around, everyone left. Just Shmuly and I and our dear mother. We were to be there till midnight. Watching, talking, singing, saying tehillim. I taped up the cards that the kids made, to join Pearl and Tzvi's, hung up the "50th" picture. The nurses kept looking at the picture, and then back to her. We wanted everyone to know what she is. What a beautiful vibrant person.
And so our evening began. Watching the monitors, talking to her singing. The Neurosurgeons P.A. (physicians assistant) came in around 8 pm to do a test, to check her reflexes and such. They "held" the sedation and allowed her to come out of it for a short time. They tested her pupils, which were both reacting well to the light shone in her eyes, and then she tried shaking her. They told me to tell her in hebrew to open her eyes, to move. To show us some sign that she knew we were there. And so with me running one sided conversation in hebrew the doctors pinched her leg, and she picked up her left arm to stop him from doing that. She was able to move her left leg and arm, and her right leg. The Drs. explained that there is a crossover effects going on, where the pressure on the right side was relieved, so she can move her left side. Now this was only a few hours after surgery on the left side so they were happy that she was able to move her right leg. She seemed to respond more when I spoke in hebrew.

They re sedated her, and we waited for the next test, the CAT scan. they took her in for the scan at 10 pm, and the neurosurgeon's PA came to tell us that everything looked good.
After they brought her back from the CAT scan, they changed her sheets and cleaned her up. There was one monitor (ICP) that measures the pressure in the brain. We were told that it should stay under 20 for them to be happy. Well after they changed her and agitated her, it went up to 30's even 40's. We called a nurse who looked at the numbers and told us to expect that after agitating her. but the numbers stayed up through the night, so by morning they decided to give her other medication to try and bring the swelling down. But in order to do so, they needed to monitor her blood pressure better. I had noticed that there were 2 lines measuring blood pressure, a red one and a pink one. the pink was attached to a cuff, while the red to the arterial line (hooked up to her artery) that was in her leg. but the arterial line (red color) was not matching the pink. So they took out the line in her leg, and put it in her arm. Now they were able to measure the blood pressure more accurately, to be able to give her the drugs needed to control the swelling.
After they put in the arterial line in her arm, her blood pressure was high. So i mentioned it to a nurse, (I am sure she also noticed it) who after consultation with the doc, decided to give her a Beta blocker, to lower her blood pressure.

We left at midnight, after Shana came with Eli to take over. We went to stay the night with Tatti, and had a very nice breakfast with him. Then we went back to the hospital in the morning. We stayed there for a few hours, then kidnapped Leah and brought her home with us, made a nice birthday party for Machi.

Please everyone post things here- try to put your name as the title and what date you were there- this way we all know what happened when.
I"H we should have acomplete refuah!
one thing Pearl mentioned is that Bubby s left handed, which means that her speech part of the brain is on the right side.

Lets expect miracles

hi everyone.
Its Chanuka- A time of miracles. A time of happiness. A time for family to be together. A time for us to strengthen in our bitachon and unite together for a complete recovery for our dear mother/bubby. We have seen that during Chanukah great miracles have happened. I"YH with our positive attitudes, and great Bitachon, together with the doctors-Hashems messengers, we will see a complete recovery bekarov mamash!!!

It seems that during this difficult time, we have had numerous requests to make one universal place for everyone to talk, comment, and get updated. So Leah and I (Yay! we got her to come for 2 days!) are setting up a blog, where whoever wants to can post and share their experiences, and also a place where everyone can get updates with out calling Baila a million times. (A huge Yasher Koach to Baila for being the family go to person, you are an amazing and strong person.)

And so this blog was created. For those who want to be here, you can come and check updates. For those who are here and have been in to see mommy/bubby in person, please come here and type your experiences. Update her progress, what to look out for and more.
There will be a lot of medical jargon, which in my next post i will try to explain and update.
Also, we have created a spreadsheet where everyone can see (only those who are invited) and type in their names to sign up for a shift. please give us feedback on this- so we can make it user friendly. the link to that is found on the left side of this blog --
