Did U Know That

<< < (12/21) > >>

ha ha l-o-really-l andy!!......its real scary at the time i know but that sounds like a real comical situation !!

the blood actually was running for a minute or two.  my son was eating at the time and he started coughing and spluttering.....then his face went blank and he shut his eyes.  my hubby realised his blood type was wrong on the unit...i clamped him off.  my son would not have been able to alert the nurse.... but, thank God, he was fine.

Sharmin:
Emby,

Oh my gosh!  How scary, thank god your little guy is okay.  Thank you for sharing this very important information with us.  When they give blood to my son two nurses have to be present - they have to confirm his name, date of birth, blood type - and then check the blood against his crossmatch band.  If he is not wearing a band the blood is not given.  Each nurse then has to sign that all information was checked before blood is started.  We also check ourselves and have lil A check his own blood to make sure that he is being given O- blood.  One can never be too careful because mistakes still happen - as was the case with your son - and with Andy almost getting a biopsy!

did u know that thalassemia cannot be 'contracted'. it is not infectious or contagious.

we know a family with thal major child.....has some close family members who do not want anything to do with them.  they think its bad karma (spelling wrong??) & that they would ''catch'' it if they came in contact.....!!!!???? ???????!!!!........their child is gorrrrrrgeous !
