Platelet Transfusion

Rosalie needed a platelet transfusion so we took her into the hospital today. We like platelet transfusions because they are so quick. While hemoglobin transfusions can be pumped through an IV infusion, the platelets have to drop into the body at gravity or else they will be crushed. How crazy is that?

Another commercial for giving blood . . . so many of you have emailed us that you have given blood for the first time and we really want to thank you.
