Life Blood

I'm sure most people don't realize this but January is Blood Donner Recognition Month. Donating blood is (almost) painless and usually takes around 20-30 minutes. Some people have never done this and some people donate every two months.

While in the NICU Avigayil received several blood transfusions. They where life saving. Somewhere out there there is a an anonymous person walking the streets. He or She does not know it, but I owe them the greatest debt of gratitude any parent could have. He or She walks around going about daily life and has probably long forgotten giving blood. For me, every time I look at my daughter I will bless that person. Without their selfless act she would not be here. Mr./Mrs Anonymous, you are my hero!

I would like to take this chance to encourage anyone who is eligible (eligibility depends on criteria in your country) to step up and save a life today! I personally can't think of a better way to spend half an hour. In Israel you can donate blood by contacting your local MDA station or hospital. In the US contact your local Red Cross or hospital.

Leave me a message and tell me about your blood donation experience. I'd love to hear it.
