Avivah Michaelah bas Sara – Please Pray

Written by

in

On Monday afternoon a can of hot cosmetic wax exploded in Avivah’s face. She was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital and is in their burn unit. She suffered 2nd degree burns on her whole face and neck.

The doctors said she is very fortunate that her glasses shielded her eyes or she would likely have been blinded. Her eyesight was not affected. The doctors are optimistic for a good recovery. At this point they told us she would be in the hospital for a week, but they will reassess in the coming days.

Avivah and our family would appreciate your prayers.

    Wow, Aviva, I feel so bad for you. It seems like you have had quite a share of difficulties in the last year or two. I hope you recover very speedily from this accident and you should only experience simchas and good things!

    My heart goes out to you! I know the physical pain and trauma that you are going through. 18 years ago I, too, had a burn covering my entire face. I was so swollen and covered in blisters that I could barely open my eyes and mouth. Emotionally I was traumatized and uncertain about how I would look physically. Miraculously, I healed quickly and within weeks my skin renewed and looking at me know one would know I suffered such a sever burn. I share my story with you to offer you hope and support – this too shall pass. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

    Refuah Sheleimah!

    Does Israel have a version of China Town, or any Asian markets? There’s a wonderful burn cream called Ching Wan Hung (Great Wall Brand) that will help ease the pain, speed your healing, and prevent any scarring. I’ve used it on several severe burns, with excellent results. Not even the tiniest bit of discoloration was left behind. I’m accident prone, so I always keep a jar in my kitchen.

    I’ll be in Israel next week, in Beitar. If you like, I can bring you my jar, and I’ll buy more when I get back to the States. If you can’t get anyone to meet up with me then, I’ll be in Jerusalem for Pesach, and in Tzfat the week after that.

    If you can get someone to Ma’ale Adummim, contact Billie Shreiner and see if she has any in stock. She’s a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and a dear friend of mine. billie.schreiner@gmail.com

    Rabbi Werner,

    I didn’t make the Google Doc, just started the idea of putting together the Tehillim Chain and Rachel Avner put together the Google Doc while I was working on starting one on another site. Thank you Rachel for being quick on your feet and being proactive!

    Please wish Avivah and your family my best.

    Do you know about Mrs. Green in Sanhedria who has the most amazing creams and salves which eliminate scarring? I have no contact info, but many people know of Mrs. Green and could refer you. I have seen literally miraculous results on my friend’s daughter who was very badly burned by boiling water and has absolutely no scars. Refuah shelaymah.
