I Just received this from Gay Thatcher who works for the
blood bank in Cabo and San Jose. Kimberly
The Santa Josefina Blood Bank can receive
blood donors type A positive
tomorrow as long as blood is needed for Jeff Niemi,
if you know that this is your blood type and can
donate for this patient we are giving these donors
priority as this is the
emergency blood that will be needed short term. The
blood for this patient that has been needed so far
has been sent to Amerimed and is being used, La Paz
is also sending more units to stand by.
The platelets are drawn by aphaeresis which can
only be done at the State Blood Bank in La Paz, it
is a different process and requires a special
machine that Santa Josefina does not have. Again,
type A positive donors are needed, please go to the
La Paz blood bank if you are a possible donor.
If you have any other type blood and want to donate
to replace blood supplies in the name of this
patient please try and help us with that next week,
we do need it and want to
attend to everyone but we must give priority to the
type A positive donors tomorrow and Thursday to make
sure we have an ongoing blood supply for Jeff Niemi
Thank you all for helping, please go to our web page
at
santajosefinabloodbank.org where you
will find information on blood donation in both
Spanish and English, again thank you and please be
assured that Santa Josefina is doing everything
possible to ensure the blood necessary for Jeff
Niemi

kiminbaja@gmail.com Note from Cheryl:
Jeff's sister and daughter are arriving today.
As information becomes available to Kimberly, she
will send reports to the BPE. Again, please
refrain from calling Kimberly unless it's truly
important. Jeff is in ICU and no visitors are
allowed. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow,
Thursday. What is needed right now is BLOOD
and the immediate need is A Positive to be donated
in La Paz.
