NECHAMA ILANA BAS MARIM L'Refuah shelaima.
She is going to have a cardiac procedure today, Yom Shlishi Ki tov Ki tov 26 Sivan/ Tues 8 Jun. Please try to keep her in your prayers today and tomorrow.
1) Just as Bikur Cholim can be fulfilled in regard to the physical well being as well as the spiritual well being of the sick man or woman, so too, the one performing the Mitzvah can do so physically, financially and spiritually
(See Kitzur Shl"ah page 296)
2) Physically: it is a Mitzvah to tend to the actual needs of the sick person.
Financially: it is a Mitzvah to purchase medicine, supplies and other necessities to facilitate the healing and well being of the sick person.
Spiritually: it is a Mitzvah to pray for the recovery of the sick person. (we shall B'Ezras Hashem delve deeper into more details of each of the aforementioned areas of Bikur Cholim as we progress in our coverage of this topic)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

Reader's Question:
When a child loses a tooth or a doctor pulls out a tooth, must it be disposed of in any special way?
Answer:
Any part of the body that doesnt become tamei (impure) does not require Kevurah.
See Mishnah in Ohalos Perek 3:3 that teeth that fall out when a person is alive [as well as nails and hair] are not Tamei after his death.
See also Talmud Brachos 5b that Rav Yochanan used to carry around the "bone" of one of his ten sons that passed away young [in order to console people who suffered tragedies, to show them that he suffered the loss of ten sons and survived, and thus they can survive and pull through anything].
According to Rashi it was a bone and less than the size of a barley and thus was not Tamei and did not require burial. Other Rishonim (including the Ritva Brachos 5b and Rashbam and RaMah Bava Basra 116a) learn that it was the tooth of the child that he carried around which fell out before the child passed away , and thus did not require burial.
Many contemporary Poskim rule that teeth that fall out or are extracted may simply be discarded and do not require burial or any other special treatment. There is no difference between adults and children or between baby teeth or permanent teeth.
See Shu"t Mishneh Halachos Vol. 16 Siman 113 where he brings some opinions of special handling necessary for extracted baby teeth. He also writes a story about the Noda B'Yehuda requiring burial for teeth.
For Halacha L'Ma'aseh a Rav should be consulted.

Chizuk For Today:
Footprints (Author Unknown)
There was once a person who died and went up to shomayim.
There he saw his whole life flash before him by the sea.
Whenever times were good, he saw two sets of footprints in the sand. However, when times were rough, he only saw one set. At the end of the viewing, he turned to Hashem and asked, "Hashem, during my good times you were always with me, but when I needed you most, why did you leave me alone."
Hashem replied, "my beloved child, who I love more than anything, I never left you; it was during those times that I was carrying you!
Hashem is carrying us at all times especially when we need Him the most.
We need to find an grab hold of Him. We need to increase our Torah learning, Tefilah, Teshuva and Tzedakah.
