Approximately a year later she was able to resume her normal activities. 
She continued going to school and participated in extra curricular activities such as dancing, painting and handicrafts. Like many girls her age she was a great fan of the singer, Ofra Hazah. She was active in a youth movement and volunteered to baby-sit cousins and neighbours’ children. 
 
At the age of 12 her parents made her an elegant Bat-Mitzvah party which seemed quite fitting in celebration of Avital’s recovery from such a serious illness. Her parents’ gift to her was a trip to Egypt and a puppy which 
Avital called  "mocha".
