Thank you everyone for your support. Many of you had questions about donating and I will try and answer them the best I can. First the qualification to be a donor are very simple you must be under the age of 70, blood type A or O (positive or negative does not matter), in good health both mentally and physically. The next step would call be to call Mayo and talk to the donor center. You do not have to be a relative and with Chris disease it might be the best thing. Being donor is very easy and your hospital stay is only 24 hours. I do know a couple of people who have donated so I know they would not mind talking to anyone who is considering donating.
The number to call to donate is 480-342-3163. I don't have the international number yet, but if you call that number they should be able to help you. Also if a translator is needed they will provide one for you. Chris's. Insurance will pay for the donor surgery if they are not a US citizen.
Thank you again and I if you have more questions please let me know.
Cheryl
