A Few Added Details

Thank you all for your very kind notes. I will do my best to reply, but please know that each note is a comfort.

Several of you asked about blood donation. Amacker took 10 units the night of the accident, but is stable now. Thank you for the offer, but she's topped off.

As a life-long blood donor, I cannot pass the opportunity to ask that if you can donate, do. Amacker was one of many patients that night. It takes about an hour, and will make you feel good about yourself the whole day. Hell, if you’re so inclined, it lowers your tolerance to alcohol and makes you a cheap date. (joke) But seriously, donate now while you’re thinking about her, and do it every eight weeks for the rest of your life. You might save a dear friend’s life.

Also, about flowers, I will give an address and details here when it’s appropriate, but they do not allow any gifts in intensive care. It’s a very sterile environment. Also, she’s in a very deep sleep. She will want lovely things around her when she wakes up.
