Success after IF

Sent my sample into the Bone Marrow Registry today!

It is something that I had been thinking of doing for a while but after hearing about Kate and having someone post the link to sign up to be on the bone marrow donor list, it was the extra little push I needed to stop being lazy and actually do it. 

The packet came quickly, I just had to swab my cheek with 4 q-tips and send it back.  Couldnt have been easier. 

Now here's hoping that I am a match to someone!  And of course we are all especially hoping that someone (maybe an SAIFer!!) is a match for Kate!

    DH and I both did this after we had Stella.  It was a super easy and fast process!  We are ready and willing to donate if/when the time comes.

    This makes me so happy!  I love that Kate's story has inspired so many people to "be the match" and help save lives!  Praying Kate's perfect match is found quickly.

    Thank you so much!

    I'm not eligible until next April : (  Obviously I won't be Kate's match - she will be on her way to a full recovery by then : )
