MS Blood Services Platelet Crisis
Platelets Needed for Ariel Rayburn of Columbia
Ariel is 3 years old and the daughter of John Wesley &Jennifer Rayburn of Columbia. She was diagnosed with leukemia this week and is in great need of platelets. MS Blood Services is handling her donations and her donation code is " Ariel Rayborn DS00". MS Blood Services is who sends donations to Blair E Batson Children's Hospital where Ariel is. They currently have ZERO platelets to send to hospitals. You can call MS Blood Services at (601)368-2673 to schedule your donation. Or you can contact Lonnie Hutson, Ariel's grandfather at (601)447-1556 and he will help set up an appointment.
Some facts to know about the donation process according to MS Blood Services:
* Female donors who been pregnant and are donating platelets and/or plasma will be tested for HLA antibodies. The purpose is to reduce the risk of complications for a patient receiving the donation. Female donors who have been pregnant are more likely to develop HLA antibodies since the baby's HLA is not the same as the mother.
* Donors who test positive for HLA antibodies can still donate whole blood amd RBC, but will be restricted from any automated donations that would include plasma and/or platelets.
