PBMT - Day 242

Papa was searching the web on the weekend and found out that Adrian was the 50th child who went through an Autologous cord blood transplant. We are so proud to have made the choice of storing Adrian's cord blood at birth though we never thought we'd use it.

You've made the right decision to store the cord blood. We stored Kate's too, and we're hoping that if her little sister may need it, Kate's will be compatible. So, how does it work? After you took the cord blood out from the bank and ship it to HK, do you still get leftovers that you can continue to put in storage; or is that a one time thing? I'm going back to Cells for Life in a few weeks to purchase the kit for the baby, and hopefully, we get to store her cord blood like Kate's (being able to store her cord blood means that she is free from Thalassaemia major... it sucks not being able to have the results earlier through amniocentesis... but we were so afraid of the risk of miscarriage in having amnio done this time).
