The blood donation bus was at Chick Fila today so we went down to donate. Donald and Suzie are O- which is a universal type that anyone can receive. Often our blood type goes straight to the NICU or to emergency rooms when they need blood but don’t have time to determine what type the patient has. It can be accepted by all blood types.
Josiah has given before and found out he, too, is O-.
Jeshuah and Jeremiah never have so we were curious what they have.
We filled 4 of the 5 chairs!
The tech here is trying desperately to get Jeshuah’s blood. His veins are squeezed flat by his muscles so the tech had to hold the needle just right to keep the blood flowing. If he let it go, the blood quit coming. Jeremiah on the other hand, had blood running out of his huge veins!!
Here the 5 of us are showing off our bandages.
A few days after donating, Jeshuah and Jeremiah found out that they too, are O-. Now I am curious as to Kyrah, Audrah and Jedidiah’s!!
We’re 5 for 5 at the present.
