paul Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Early this year, David Whittall's mother-in-law needed blood. I donated at that time. I will do so again, as long as the hospital will accept my blood. However, since donating for her back then, I have found out that I have high blood pressure and take regular medication for it. The medicine I am on is called Cardiosel.In the US, if you have high blood pressure, you are ineligible to be a donor. However, someone told me, Bob Ward I believe, that here in the Philippines, that doesn't necessarily apply. Either way, if the hospital does not accept my blood, they may need other donors. I will keep you posted, as I know something.I have attached his request at the bottom of this post: Hi there I am David Whittall married to Sha-Sha (Salome), living in Talisay City, CEBU, as some already know.Sha-Sha's Mother, from Barili, was back in the ICU @ Cebu South General Hospital, yesterday Having suffered from a Stroke and a Heart Attack back in February, and survived that, with treatment, However, 'Mama' has been on Kidney Dialysis sessions twice a week since then.Yesterday she had a bit of a setback and they suggested putting her in the ICU.Today they say she really needs Blood TransfusionMama is Type 'AB+' BloodSince the Doctors asking for Blood Type 'AB+' it must be for 'Plasma', 'Whole Blood' or some other special reason?The first volunteers did not check out from the Blood Screening, and the Red Cross in Cebu may not have enough units, so this is why my wife wants me to launch this appeal for Donors of Blood Type 'AB+'Best ask Now before it become it becomes critical!Contact Salome Whittall on 0927 3718611Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
