In November 2020 our 15 year old son, Edison, was diagnosed with Lupus. In February he had undergone a biopsy to determine damage in the kidney. You see, the kidney is packed with vessels so even though it was a small puncture, he was high risk. Long story short. We didn’t know he would be a worst case scenario. Three days post op, he was rushed to the ER and received his first bag of blood and was transported to Cleveland Clinic Pediatric ICU. He had internal bleeding. After 2 weeks and 12 transfusions he came home. He was a success story but there were times that we didn’t know if he would be. He’s here because of those TWELVE HEROS. Every bag that was hung, I prayed for and thanked those donors. We never thought we would need them but we’re glad they made the decision to donate.
I hope they know the good they did.
