Shalom Stark and I would like to thank everyone for their prayers, good vibes and general support. Estie and I came to the hospital yesterday and she was diagnosed with meningitis. BH we now know that she has a viral strain which poses no threat to her brain or other physical development. We will remain in the hospital until at least tomorrow morning so that they can continue to monitor her, but she is no longer contagious and has been cleared to play with the other children in the play area. We are super fortunate that our other four children have had camp and child care and could stay until 4pm yesterday and today. We have amazing friends here, in Pardes Hanna, who have come together to help us out, which is huge, because they all have families and jobs of their own, without worrying about the Stark Seven. For those who have asked, Savta Bubbie is America bound tonight. She offered to extend her trip, but I think we are in the clear. This doesnt mean that Ezra and I would mind if she made a lifelong extension, but that her flight tonight shouldnt be pushed off out of fear for Esties health. Thank you again. Every prayer, message, and even like of my previous status was/is very much appreciated.
