Nurse Says he's About to Feel Better
Yesterday the nurse on duty told all of us, he is about to feel better. Within a day or so he will be out of isolation and able to gor for walks outside. The esophogus should be on the mend with the new WBC and then he will be able to eat again. As soon as is able to take solid food, they will send him home. Barring any unforseen circumstances.
He was walking around and moving little things here and there and cracking a few jokes.

Hi Judah -

Our thoughts and prayers as always with you.
Do you want ginger cookies or something else?
Love Stella and Les
Hey Hey, Judah White. Went to a photography exhibit the other today (from Aperture Magazine). Thought of you. Went to Real Food Daily. Thought of you. Talked to someone about whether or not playing poker for money is legal in the City of L.A. Thought of you. Talked to the heinous anus. Thought of you. Looked at pictures of that infamous day at the Kupetz home. Thought of you. Walked the Cloud. Thought of you, for no particular reason. Though the two of you are in fact my least hirsute friends. In summation: thinking of you, all the time.
Hey Maccabee, today in shul we read Shelach. I'm blown away by how badly the Jews dissed Moshe and Hashem. What were they thinking. I mean look at all that they had been given...wandering in the desert wasn't that bad, was it. Net take away, as Tug McGraw once said, "Ya Gotta Believe." I believe, and day in and day out, in New York, Chicago or wherever it is I'm praying, I'm asking Hashem to heal the Big Mac. I believe he will too. Gonna be in LA next week and want to come visit you. --Joe
Looks like all is going in the right direction. Thank god! You're constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We miss you!

Hi Judah,
Saw that Larry wrote you the other day about the Yankee/Met game. Does that mean you're a Yankee fan?
Hope not. With Jared in the family now, you can only be a Mets fans.
Love, Aunt Marsha
Yo dude,
Glad to hear you're beginning to make some headway! I'll be in on Wed and leave Thurs, so cut the vomiting... it won't keep me away. After what I've been having to deal with with the Boychic and now my neighbor's dog, a little vomit would be welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you. Can't wait for you to feel better my friend.
-- Josh
Dear Judah,
Just came back from the kotel... it was listening.
I am so happy the WBC is getting higher and higher. By the time I return, it will be at its normal level, B"H.
Shabbat in Yerushalayim was beautiful. This city has a very special light, especially on shabbat. The drive though through the city is getting more and more congested.
Hello to Martha, I will be seeing tova and david this evening, then will attend david's 60th party on thursday.
Lots of love to you all, and thank you Issy for starting this blog, it helps us get encouraged with the progress.
Talk to you soon, Rachel
Hey Judah,
Thanks for the article. I think it's pretty cool that the "T'fillin points" happen to be the same as the accupuncture points for spirituality and purified thoughts. On the other hand, the T'fillin don't exactly penetrate to the point I would suspect would be necessary to have that effect. Also S'faradim and Ashkenazim tend to place the T'fillin in different ways and in different places. Nevertheless, I think it's a cool "coincidence."
I'm still interested in knowing what Chinese medicine understands as "spirituality" that it has its own point, presumably with certain express characteristics.
Any thoughts?
--Josh
Judah:
Tried you this morning -- I'll call again later. Sounds like you're not really up for seeing visitors yet, but I'd love to come out and visit you next week. Glad to read the updates and have officially turned White blood cells into my new mantra. And I still have to show you the Ulpan reunion film!
Be well,
David Kukoff
Goooooooood morning everyone :-)!!!
Can't wait to hear you're outta isolation, and on the move Judah!
Those yellow gowns could use a little fashion tweaking huh?
The news keeps getting better and better about your progress, and I'm rooting for you 110%!!!
Will be out on my road bike today sending positive growth signals to those WBC's!!!
Love to all,
Coco
This is exactly what I wanted to hear on a Sunday morning. My cousin is going to feel better and he is hopefully coming home soon.
Judah, hang in there hopefully the pull is almost over. Love ya buddy :) Marsha, It's all about the Yanks... Your dad would totally agree with us.
Kisses and a Big Hug,
Amy
Judah,
Big hello's from Dvir he wishes you the best and can't wait to see you soon. He is ramping up for that vegas trip with you. Poker he says Poker...
Best,
Dvir
Hi Judah.
This is Josh's Cousin, Yvonne. But, then you'd probably know who I am even if I just said, "Yvonne." Right?!
Well, I've been thinking about how much of a hard time this is for you and then I thought about all of the memories we've shared.
Do you remember when we played "spin the bottle" - I think in 6th grade and we were at Johnny Silverman's house and we had to kiss underwater!!! That was such a BIG DEAL!!! Remember?
Then, I was thinking about when Josh's father passed suddenly and there was the Shiva. I walked down the hallway into the dining room at Josh's house and the room was full of people and I saw you and caught your eye -- you looked at me and I looked at you....you nodded your head and I nodded mine back. There was a definite understanding of the gravity of the situation and the love that we all shared going through it.
Then, there was my trip to Israel to visit Josh and your great welcoming letting us stay with you in Tel Aviv. We (you, Josh and I) walked from your apartment to a cool restaurant and had some drinks and food. Then, afterward (or before, who remembers?) you took that great picture of me and Josh in your living room which became the J-Date picture I used to get and marry that freak I should NOT have married (that makes that marriage mistake ALL your fault, you know)....!
Then, there was the stem cell donation at your and your mom's house. When it was time for me to leave, I came to kiss you good night and you were sitting on a chair at the kitchen table. I gave you a kiss on the cheek and told you something to the effect that I know you are trying very hard -- you looked up at me and I very significantly noticed you look up over and above your glasses at me with your striking blue eyes and told me that you are "fighting with everything you have." Then you continued to look at me -- a stare of strength. I thought to myself, "You are my hero." And, Judah, you are... You are my hero and always will be the most true symbol of strength I've ever encountered. You'll make it. I know that for sure. Why? Because you care so much.
All my love to you -- as you are a lovely and super strong man. Superman should know that he has someone to contend with!!!
Yvonne
