Since we discovered that Micah has rare O- blood, the Red Cross has relentlessly pursued her. I mean, she could have given on June 13 (but there were no openings left for red blood at the site we wanted) so she was finally scheduled for today, along with her common, ordinary A+ mother. In between, we got at least a daily e-mail asking her to give (not me!), along with several phone calls.
You know they took my blood this afternoon. They generally always do. But Micah got her ear pierced last Friday, June 16, at Claire's. Claire's does not clean their piercing gun after every use - like scrub it down and thoroughly disinfect it! Had she gone to a tattoo parlour and had her ear pierced with a needle, she could have given, but due to the "unsanitary conditions" at Claire's, she won't be able to give for another year. Their loss . . .
