Thanks for your continued interest. Yitzchak Meir has been transferred from the Intensive Care to the standard New Baby Ward. Even though the neurologists said that he would never take a bottle, he began feeding from one on Thursday. He is back on a feeding tube, though, because it takes about 45 minutes to properly…
Today was the Yahrzeit (anniversary of the death) of Rochel the Matriach. As I drove to the hospital with my wife and my mother in the car, we got to the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem and the sign said “Bethlehem Right” (the hospital was to the left). Somehow at that moment I remembered that it…

No major change in Yitzchak Meir’s condition, though we have noticed a few more minor changes. He yawned, and he spat up on Ella. EEG scans are scheduled for October 18 (tomorrow) at Shaarei Tzedek hospital.

Yitzchak Meir is back at Misgav Ledach. His condition is, unfortunately, not improving. The doctors are not sure of his future condition, or even if he will survive in the short term. All that is left is asking God to have compassion on Yitzchak Meir and the entire Seltzer family.
Yitzchak Meir went to Shaare Tzedek hospital for EEG and CT scans. Doctors are not pleased with the results. We attempted to check him in, but balked when we heard that insurance would not cover the admission.
