We have established a sponsor number through Carter BloodCare. If you want to give blood and have your units credited toward Steve's account, you use this number:
spon047595
(that's a zero after the word "spon")
If you are in North Texas, you can donate your blood at any one of 27 Carter centers. Click here for a list of locations. It doesn't matter what type you have. (Steve's is O positive.) Your donation will help someone in need AND add credits to Steve's account. What a fabulous gift!
You can also use Steve's sponsor number at any company-sponsored or community group-sponsored Carter blood drive.
When one person gives a unit of blood under Steve's number, his account receives a credit, which offsets any blood-product cost we might incur. (I don't know yet how our insurance will handle the transfusions.)
Thanks so much!

We are in the treatment center now -- the same place Steve receives chemotherapy. The staff is running behind. Labs haven't been drawn yet, so we're probably still half an hour from receiving fresh blood. Updates to come.
-------------
12:36 p.m.: A fresh bag of O positive is dripping into Steve's PICC line. He is beyond ready for fresh blood!
-------------
2:35 p.m.: First bag is getting much smaller. Steve is napping. His cheeks have a pinkish hue!
