David and I continue to be moved and awed, although not the least bit surprised, by your love and support. You are all amazing. The Blood Donor Room has received a record-breaking number of calls for appointments on David's behalf, and we can't thank you enough. We want to ensure that your generous donations are put to good use. Please note the information below on the timing of donations. David will most likely be receiving occasional platelet and blood transfusions over the next several weeks, so feel free to schedule appointments across the next month or so.
Whole blood donations take about one hour and can be stored for
30 days after testing. Platelets take approximately 2 1/2 hours for the entire process and can be stored for only
5 days, 2 of which are used for testing. Therefore, it is important to spread out the donations so they do not all expire on the same dates.
We continue to plug along in our "bubble," and David is doing well. We are 13 days out from the transplant and right on track.
We love you!

Hey Mission Control - we're at your service. :) You keep telling us what you need, and we'll keep making sure it's happening outside the bubble. (Hey, is that anything like "outside the beltway" - !!) Ha ha.
Keep up the great work up there!!!!

Terrific! So glad to hear that y'all are getting what you need. And that you're right on track. I know that being right on track means you're actually in a tough place right now, but the tide will turn soon and each day will get better. I'll be sooo happy when we get word that that day- the day that Dave starts to feel better- has come!! Thanks, as always, for keeping us posted about what's going on in your bubble. We love y'all too!! Dana
