Email update from Butterfly Reborn

Here is the email I received from Vanessa a few minutes ago. Please continue to keep her in your prayers and thoughts. She does sound better this evening, she was down this morning when I spoke to her. Email from V: Hello! I am home from the hospital. I'm not very clear myself with what has occurred and I don't expect to know any time soon as my primary surgeon has "gone out of town." Do you think he's running from ME? LOL I'll catch up with you all soon. Feel free to update others as I am not capable at this time. I'm very thankful for all the thoughts, prayers, and life in general. It is good to love and be loved! In the meantime, I have to rest, heal, and recheck RBC on Friday. I also need to see a hemotologist and gastrointerologist in my spare time though I can't return home for 7-10 days. *shrug* I am no longer "gravely ill." You know, I have the rarest blood type that can only accept an exact match. What if noone who shares the same blood type had not donated? Donating blood really does save a life. I'm feeling very grateful. I'm tired. I'm sore. I feel like saying, "Encourage some one today to donate blood. It REALLY does safe a life." Dana

Thanks Dana for the update - what type of blood does Vanessa have? I have a rare blood type and have been called in the middle of the night to donate - I am just wondering if I can be of any help to her. Thanks again for the update - she is in my prayers! Valerie

Thanks for sharing the email Dana. I'm glad to hear that things are looking up Vanessa! Tracy B

Glad she is home Dana...she must have O negative type blood...same as me!

She must be O negative as that is the only one that can receive only the exact match. I'm O negative too as is my boss and we donate as much as we can. Hugs, Heather B
