David Ellishvili z"l, age 14

October 20, 2010

“It was Erev Shabbat,” explains the mother of 14-year old David Ellishvili, “When our son started to complain of a severe headache. He was burning up with fever and we rushed him to the local doctor. After a quick examination, she sent us home.” 
Looking down at her hands, she whispered that her son died ten hours later from meningitis.
Mrs. Ellishvili cried, “If only there had been proper emergency facilities. If only they could have done an accurate diagnosis, maybe our David would still be alive.”
