Snowstorm

We are in middle of a snowstorm in Israel. The country isn't equipped for snow, as we only get one a year, at best. It is -1 degrees Celsius outside and is supposed to keep snowing through Shabbat. Many areas have lost electricity. We have had our electricity flicker a few times. 

For a baby like Tehilla, whose heart functionality is limited, this poses a problem. If we lose heat, her heart will have a difficult time circulating blood and maintaining warmth. 

We have bought a lot of 48 hour candles and plan on using them in ceramic pans to heat a room. As well, we will keep our gas stove on with baking sheets over and pots of water. Need be, I will keep her on my body wrapped in sweatshirts and blankets. If that doesn't do the trick, we will have to leave the neighborhood and hang out at the hospital.  G-d willing, all of it will be unnecessary and everyone will get their electricity back on.
