O Negative Blood Request

ckiefer - 2-9-2009 at 12:01 PM

We have an urgent community appeal. There is a patient in AmeriMed Hospital in CSL that desperately needs more blood transfusions. "O" Negative blood is needed and there isn't a drop of it anywhere on the Baja. If you have "O" Negative blood, please call the Santa Josefina Blood Bank 105- 0354, make an appointment TODAY, and tell them it is for Mrs. Heaps. The Santa Josefina Blood Bank is located at the Anikan Hospital (or Nuns Hospital) in Cabo San Lucas. Give the gift of life. Call 105-0354, if you have "O" Negative blood TODAY.

I have a call out to a flabotomist friend of mine, we'll see if he's got a bank. He's at work in prescott right now, but he'll call me when he's finished.

C, I am o-neg, will be in Loreto Thursday afternoon - if someone can "donate" a flight to CSL (Frequent flier miles and all), and help me get to Loreto this weekend (drive halfway and my boyfriend can meet us half way in my car) , they can take all the blood they want. Wish I was in baja to help today!

C, if you call red cross, they might be able to put together a package I can pick up and bring to baja...my offer stands, I am ready to leave LAX asap if I can get some financial help with the flight to cabo.

I'm so glad the Nomad's are able to help, I was unsuccessful so far.

I have forwarded the information here as well as all U2U's to the parties requesting the blood.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your responses and for viewing this thread. Sometimes during our busy lives we forget that there may be a need for something we all have and could spare a bit of.

Again, thank you so much!

Vicki is at home here in Los Barriles. She's doing good it'll take time to for her to get back to normal

Hello Public Donors
"O" neg blood is needed to replace the units used while Vicki Heaps was in Amerimed Hospital. The blood bank in Cabo Santa Josefina Blood Bank at the Nun's Hospital ( 105-0354 / 624-129-9490) can service the units properly or go to Salvatierra Hospital
(612-122-1591 / 122-1496/ 122-1597) on Bravo in LaPaz. Ask to talk with the blood bank before driving the entire way to ensure you are eligible, then proceed to the blood bank they will require you fill out a questioner.
The units donated will replace the units that saved Vicki's life. She is home recovering and doing well. I have been in contact with her daily since we scooped her up in the ambulance last Friday. We all appreciate the community for the support.
If you need us to call the blood bank for you or need a map or directions please come by Amerimed Clinic Los Barriles and speak with Adela, Luis, Dr. Cevallos or Char
Thanks Char 141-0797
