From Melbourne Australia, (we are Dorothy and Simcha’s family) we send you koyech. May your whole mishpocha have a complete and speedy refuah shelaymo.May all our tefillos be heard.
I found this post on another site and I figured I should post here.
We thank everyone for your tefillos, learning, concern, & mitzvos directed towards a refuah shelaima for my kids. As an extra measure of hishtadlus, my son Dovid has now an added name, Refael David ben Brocha. His status is very critical but “stable”. It’s a day by day, minute by minute issue. B”H today has been very stable. He needs lots of continued tefillos and learning in his zechus. Tehilla also need much rachmei shamayim. She is still heavily sedated due to her head injuries and jaw fracture. Her operation for her jaw is scheduled for tomorrow at noon STL time. We daven that her head trauma, jaw, & leg fracture will be 100% healed with no deficits. Elisha is doing well and will be”H come home tomorrow. Eliyahu Chaim came home on erev Shabbos/YT and is doing well riding the wheel chair. Thank you again for all your tefillos, please keep it up strongly for Refael Dovid and Tehilla. Rabbi Elazar Grunberger

here is an email from a friend of one of the children
Dear Family & Friends,
My very close friend’s family was in a terrible car accident on the way home from a Chol Hamoed trip. Her father, 2 sisters and 3 brothers were in the car and ended up going to 4 different hospitals. Two of them had to be air-lifted. One brother is in surgery through the night another had breathing difficulties. One of her sisters is in the ICU with bruising to her brain, a fractured jaw, and a broken leg. We heard that their van turned over six times while they were inside it.
While some are in more critical condition than others, all of them desperately need your tefillos. Please, take at least a minute to say some tehillim for:
Most critical – Dovid ben Bracha
Tehilla bas Bracha
Elisha ben Bracha
Aviva Rochel bas Bracha
Eliyahu Chaim ben Bracha
Elazar Yitzchok ben Zlata Faiga
May they all have a refuah shelaimah and may we all be zoche to share only simchos together.
Chaim ben Brocha should also be in your tefilos, not critical but in surgery
U/D: please pray for:
Duvid Ben Brucha,
Elisha Ben Brucha,
Tehilla Bas Brucha.
