There's been some confusion (likely induced by ME) regarding blood donation designated specifically to Jill. She has a common blood type...it is highly unlikely the hospital will run out of her type (and I'm sure they have a back-up plan if that does happen). There are certain hoops one needs to jump through & paperwork that must be completed for that to happen. As it just confuses people & may get tricky....if you are willing to donate, just know some sick child (or adult ) will receive your blood, and it may be our little Jill. Also, I was just informed NO BLOOD RELATIVES (that includes cousins....sorry Chad & Casey) ARE ALLOWED TO DONATE SPECIFICALLY TO HER (in the off-chance one of us are a possible marrow match, her body may develop antibodies to your blood & reject your marrow). Whew. So many rules. Thanks for understanding (this doesn't mean "don't donate", even blood relatives should donate, just not directly TO JILL....thank you for doing so!!).
