  • Ariela’s Mom Updates Fans On Avi’s Health After Surgery

    Ariela’s Mom Updates Fans On Avi’s Health After Surgery

    Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre found out about baby Aviel requiring hernia surgery on 90 Day Fiancé. Avi’s grandma revealed how he is doing now.

    After 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way episode 6 revealed that baby Aviel would need surgery for his hernia, Ariela Weinberg’s mother Janice Nini disclosed how Avi is doing now. Before the premiere of TOW season 3, Ariela shared the difficulties she faced when she found out about her and Biniyam Shibre’s son requiring an urgent operation. Soon, Ariela will be flying to America to get medical treatment for Avi on 90 Day Fiancé. Fans have been wondering if Ariela is still together with Biniyam amid her ex-husband drama, and the heartbreaking news about Avi will further strain their relationship.


    90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2 introduced Ariela as a six-month pregnant woman who was leaving her life in New Jersey behind and moving to Ethiopia. Adjusting to her surroundings in Addis Ababa was stressful for Ariela, who was accustomed to a comfortable lifestyle. Plus, Biniyam kept pressuring her about the unborn baby’s baptism. To add to Ariela’s worries, she needed to have an emergency C-section to deliver Avi. The baby was in a feet-first position, and his movement had decreased due to a low amount of fluid in the amniotic sac.

    But to the relief of millions of 90 Day Fiancé fans, Ariela had a safe delivery and welcomed a bouncing baby boy with Biniyam on December 17, 2019. Ariela and Biniyam’s social media followers have seen happy photos of them with Avi ever since, but they were unaware of the couple’s silent suffering. Amid the big reveal about Avi requiring surgical intervention, fans rushed to Ariela’s mom Janice’s page to get an update about how the baby is doing at present. “How is Ari and baby Avi,” asked a fan. Janice replied, “Avi is getting so big. He loves music and is very social.” Ariela’s mom Janice, a nurse by profession, also shared that her daughter is doing well and that she loves being “his Mama!”

    A different fan couldn’t stop talking about Avi’s cuteness and called him “the most adorable baby boy” they’ve ever seen. Janice wrote, “Avi is the most entertaining child.” As per Ariela’s mom, Avi loves to dance and sing, just like his multitalented father Biniyam, and “gives lots of hugs!” Janice admitted that she misses Ari and her grandson so much but also added that they “do visit each other.” Janice feels Avi needs to spend time with both his families in Ethiopia and in Princeton, as he “belongs in both cultures.”

    Ariela inviting her first husband Leandro Fosque to stay in their house gave Biniyam anxiety because he believed she would eventually leave him, just like his own ex-wife did. But with the news of Avi having a health complication, yet another wound from Biniyam’s past has been ripped open. Biniyam revealed that his son Simon was born with gastroschisis, a congenital condition where the bowel grows outside the baby’s body. After great difficulties, Biniyam flew to Iowa City to be by his ex’s side when she delivered the child. 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 3 will reveal if Biniyam has to go through a similar ordeal all over again. But the silver lining in this story is that Avi is now happy, healthy, and having a blast with his superstar parents Ari and Bini.

    Edmonton Public Schools is requiring all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

    Supt. Darrel Robertson said Monday the division is implementing the vaccine mandate in order to provide a safe learning and working environment, especially because children under 12 cannot yet be immunized.

    “Our custodial staff, maintenance, support, teachers, exempt staff, our volunteers that come into the school, essentially all adults that are coming in school to spend time and work with kids, or around kids, will be captured in this mandatory vaccination regulation,” Robertson said.

    All employees will have to declare their vaccination status by mid-October. Those who are not fully vaccinated and have not received an exemption from the division will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test every 72 hours.

    From late October to Dec. 17, the division will coordinate and pay for testing through a third-party provider. Following Dec. 17, any employee who remains unvaccinated will have to cover the cost of the test at their own expense.

    The mandate will be in place for all 215 schools along with any other buildings that the division operates.

    More to come.

    Unvaccinated, Edmonton Oilers Forward, Josh Archibald is out indefinitely due to inflamed heart muscle following Contracting COVID-19 this summer

    After doctors in Edmonton discovered Josh Archibald had contracted Covid this summer, they did more tests and have found damage to his heart muscle.

    The unvaccinated Edmonton Oilers forward was in his 14-day quarantine after travelling from the U.S., when he started to not feel well. He skated briefly but not with the any of the groups after they hit the ice Sept. 23 for practices/scrimmages.

    Archibald, 28, went for a battery of medical tests and they discovered he had Covid antibodies and myocarditis. Myocarditis is the same ailment that Oilers third goalie from last season Alex Stalock was felled with last fall in Minnesota. He, too, had come down with Covid, which affected his heart.

    Myocarditis, which can lead to cardiac arrest and possible death with the heart rate increasing through exertion, has been found to be an after-effect of Covid in athletes pushing their training before camps.

    Study suggests Pfizer/BioNTech antibodies disappear in many by seven months

    Six months after receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine from Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE, many recipients no longer have vaccine-induced antibodies that can immediately neutralize worrisome variants of the coronavirus, a new study suggests.

    Researchers analyzed blood samples from 46 healthy, mostly young or middle-aged adults after receipt of the two doses and again six months after the second dose.

    “Our study shows vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine induces high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the original vaccine strain, but these levels drop by nearly 10-fold by seven months” after the initial dose, Bali Pulendran of Stanford University and Mehul Suthar of Emory University said by email.

    In roughly half of all subjects, neutralizing antibodies that can block infection against coronavirus variants such as Delta, Beta, and Mu were undetectable at six months after the second dose, their team reported on Thursday on bioRxiv ahead of peer review.

    Up to eight critical care nurses from the Canadian Armed Forces are expected to be in Alberta hospitals by Monday to help deal with the fourth wave of COVID-19.

    “We are always ready to help Canadians across the country during difficult times, and this pandemic has been no different. The Canadian Armed Forces, Canadian Red Cross, and health professionals have stepped up time and again over the past 19 months to answer the call to protect people, and I want to thank all those on the front lines who continue to keep Canadians safe,” Blair said in the release.

    The Canadian Red Cross is planning to provide up to 20 medical professionals, some with ICU experience, to help or relieve staff working in hospitals in the province, and is finalizing its plan with Alberta Health Services to send its personnel where they are needed.

    Why would some Albertans take Johnson & Johnson, but not another COVID-19 vaccine?

    Could the Johnson & Johnson vaccine help boost COVID-19 immunization rates in Alberta’s remote regions?

    That’s what Premier Jason Kenney is betting on now, as his government requests an inventory of the single-shot vaccines from the federal government in a bid to bolster vaccine uptake in rural areas of the province.

    Make sure to include the entire UCP caucus when it comes to blame for the fourth wave burning through Alberta. Rather than working together on solutions, several UCP MLAs including the speaker and deputy speaker attend the Free Alberta Strategy meeting. Their whole existence is to blame the federal government for all our ills, as 600-plus million dollars of federal aid targeted for Alberta goes unspent.
