An Update On My Wife
Aussie Dave | Feb 06, 2011 | 24 comments
Those of you who have been following me on Twitter will be aware that my wife today had a tumor removed, at Shaarei Tzedek hospital in Israel’s eternal capital.
Actually, the more precise term for her surgery was Parotidectomy. The early signs after the surgery seem to be good – there seems to be some very minor facial weakness, but no facial paralysis. And the lymph nodes were benign.
I would like to thank The Holy One for looking over my wife, the most amazing surgeons and medical staff at Shaarei Tzedek, and my family and friends for all of their kind wishes and prayers. I truly have much for which to be grateful.

Well, Dave, today is the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan and in a few hours kickoff of Super Bowl 45, so this is as good a day as any for surgery. I’m glad all is going well for Mrs. AussieDave.
אני מאחל לה רפואה שלמה, דייב

That is certainly good news, very glad to hear it. Please pass on my best wishes.
I'm wishing your wife refua shelama – may the holy one continue to watch over her and the whole Aussie Dave family.
My sister in law is a nurse at Shaare Tzedek – they have a very dedicated staff.
I hope that we will continue to hear good updates. I'll keep her in my prayers.
Can you tell us the name to pray for? My daughter is in Chabad school – they say there is nothing purer than a child's prayer.
Her name is Eta bat Chava

Best wishes here too.
I hope the ultimate outcome is good.
Thank you all for the kind wishes and prayers. They are most appreciated.
Wow, Dave, that is INTENSE. I've never heard of anything like this. It's good that you provided a visual so we could see where this type of tumor is located. I'm glad to hear your wife is on the mend and doing well. I know this is a huge relief to you and your children.
May I break in for just a moment here…
How does one contact Isreallycool to bring to his attention material that he might wish to blog about, thereby bringing it to wider attention (e.g., Robert Wilkes in JTNews, Seattle, WA's Federation paper, on Richard Silverstein and his ilk, and Silverstein's reply with incredibly mendacious self-portrayal)?
You have an email address for me, but I/we have none for you, nor other "contact" options. (Or is it somewhere here and I have overlooked it?)
