Blood for Brodie

Brodie has had a pretty low key day. He seems to be breathing well and has opened his eyes and been looking at us. The doctors seem a bit more optimistic about things right now but he still has some issues he needs to correct. I went and gave platelets today and I hope that they will be able to give them to our Brodie. I will find out tomorrow if they are able to use it for him. We would like everyone to go either give blood or preferably platelets to your nearest blood bank. If you are in Houston you can go to a Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center and tell them you would like to donate for Baby Boy Dick. If you are compatible it will go to Brodie, if not they will credit our account with your donation. I can't even begin to tell you how much blood and platelets that have been given to him and he will certainly need more. I am embarrassed to say that I had never given blood but because of some very generous people Brodie is still here. If you can't donate for Brodie we still ask that you donate so that you may also help to save someone like Brodie. Feel free to ask any questions regarding blood or platelet donation. He is A- for those that would like to know. This process makes you think about things like this instead of just going about your daily lives. To see what it has taken just to get Brodie to the stage he is at has been astonishing. Thanks to all that will choose to donate. If you do let us know so that we can thank you personally.
