#190



If you’ve taken the time to donate blood I could honestly never thank you enough. Mia wouldn’t be here without you and I’m blessed to watch Mia simply live her life and experience all the things that life has to offer. We’ve recently had a bump in the road with Mia’s health, specifically her iron counts. If you didn’t know, the blood transfusions that SAVE her life every 3 weeks (just had #190 today!) overloads her heart & liver with iron which is deadly. How ‘IRONic’ that the blood which helps her stay alive slowly builds up the iron on her organs, they call it a silent killer. Unfortunately since last year her iron counts have doubled. That’s bad. So if you are able to pray for Miss Mia that would be so appreciated! (Mia needs to stay on top of taking that medicine too.) We’ll see what her levels are at her next MRI probably this winter. Mia you are the bravest girl ever, I know I’ll never be as strong as you are. God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers! #donateblood @miasmarrow

Transfusion #189


Mia has been super sick with a pesky virus.
On top of low blood counts, see girl.
No matter what she is always smiling!
