Update on blood donations:
I called and talked with Angela Berryman (per Doug's note yesterday) and asked about donating for Larry. She indicated that the best way to help was to donate and send Larry a card (that Red Cross has for this purpose - ask for one) telling him that you donated blood in his honor. Because of blood type differences and logistics, it is more difficult to donate directly to a particular person. Besides, they need a lot of blood being that supplies have dwindled a lot because of the tornado and then the virus shutdowns.
To quell your concerns about going to a donation center where there will be other people.... She described the extra precautions they are taking.... moving beds further apart, screening everyone before they enter the place, not allowing others to accompany you, wiping the beds down between every donor, etc. etc.
To schedule an appointment go to www.redcrossblood.org and search for a blood drive in your area.
Thanks Steve Lissner for your post about donating blood. You inspired me to just do it!
