Sticky - Dianna Eddy

[Donn Nay]

from the district board I understand the Eddy family is in tough times. They are looking for blood donations as Dianna is in late stages of cancer. She will be at City of Hope Friday. I am trying to find out what/when to donate as I understand we're both O+. As soon as I know more I will let you all know.

Prayers for the Eddy's

[Bob Johnson - D37 Rep]

Very sorry to hear that, I would be next in line to donate, but !!
Hope things work out for Her and the Eddy family.

Where did you see this info ??

[Donn Nay]

I spoke to Max. They have a consultation on Friday at City of Hope. I also spoke to City of Hope about donating blood. It takes 2-3 days to process the blood for direct use and since they are not sure when she will be admitted I am holding off. Whole blood is good for about 1 month but platelets are only good for a few days. We're not sure what she will need so I'm on hold pending the consultation.

Once Max contacts me about their needs I will let everyone know. They are currently at Loma Linda.

Sorry to hear, the Eddy family will be in our prayers.  I am also O+.  I am leaving town next Wednesday but would be happy to donate before I go or after I get back.  Just let me know.

I was aware the Eddy's were dealing with a cancer I'm not sure what my blood type is but I can sure find out and will be glad to donate. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Eddy family.

I have a different blood type, but would be happy to donate to a bank to build her "credits".  If that is available with City of Hope I will contact them to see if they will even accept my blood.  Let me know.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dianna and the whole Eddie family. 

[Chris Cory - President 2012-14 -Life Memeber]

I know what they are going through and offer any help that may be needed. I will be out of town for a week but if blood is needed and I can help, I will as soon as I get back. Anything else will be taken care of by all of us I am sure.

Will keep Dianna in our thoughts... I am really bummed to hear this. She is a tough gal (had to be to put up with Max, Sr. and those twins)... and I hope the miracle we are all hoping for happens.  Hugs to the entire Eddy family - Max, Dianna, Max, Jr., Matt, Amber and all the grandbabies <3 

[Big Daddy Golden Rod]

I am A positive and would  be honored to donate to that family.

I have not heard from Max since their consultation on Friday. I'll try to give him a call today or tomorrow for an update.

Diana is in City of Hope, check out this thread on the district board:

http://www.district37ama.org/forums/showthread.php?t=46389

Looks like lots of folks are stepping up and donating, I just made an appointment for 7/5 at 11:00. There are other locations to donate, read through the thread. Eddy's are going through some tough times right now and need our support.

Let's show the district what a tight family we are and all that can get out there and donate for Diana. You don't have to be o+ to add to her account, but if you are she can take the whole blood instead of just plasma. But a pint is a pint any way you put it. If you have not donated before it is real simple and virtually painless, no worst than a blood test at the doctor's office.

Chris/Kandy, can you move this thread to the general discussion board please? We need to make sure that everyone can see it that can help.

Thanks for the link Donn

I was surprised to hear that they would take Flat Tire blood. So tomorrow at 11:30 I'm there.
