please donate blood for me.
Last week was difficult because of course, I got sick.
We believe it was a virus, but I am on antibiotics anyway right now.
It seems to be coming to an end and my admission date has been moved from March 7 to March 8th right now. It might be changed again but as of now, it is Wednesday morning. I will be admitted to the hospital and get surgery to get a cathether put in-in my central line to make ivs easier.
I will try to keep you up to date with what is happening.
The most important part of this email for me right now is here:
You are able to donate blood and platelets for me privately at Hackensack Hospital.
It would be amazing for people to donate blood for me and even more amazing with platelets.
I am AB+ blood type and my donor is AB+ so we i am able to receive any blood type.
So if you are able to donate blood, please set up an appt for a private donation for me. this will go directly to me. I will have your blood. You will truly help save my life. If you have more time, please please please donate platelets. AND PLEASE SEND THIS OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN THAT MAY BE WILLING TO DONATE.
friends-can come in before the transplant to donate
my family must wait until the day of the transplant for some reason.
if you'd like to donate blood-it will take an hour
if you'd like to donate platelets, it will take 3 hours-
I think you do both if you are willing.
Please call Martha at 201-996-4819 and say that you are donating for me. Jennifer Falkenstern. My date of birth is 2/20/79.
The hours of operation are Monday thru Thursday 8am - 6:30pm and friday the latest appointment is 2:45pm.
There is no charge to do this.

on thursday I had an appt with my transplant doctor and right now my biopsy is showing I am still in remission.
the only information I know about my donor is that he is a male and he has the same blood type as me AB+.
He is a 9/10 Hla typed match.
I also had to sign a form that I would use him as a donor because he spent more than 5 years in europe. (mad cow)...but he is my best match. i will not be able to know anything else about the donor for a year.

also, as far as fundraising goes.
alison solomon is currently setting up a silent auction. we need people that are willing to donate things-people that are willing to help out-people...actually I don't know what she needs... it is better to talk to her, but i thought i would let you know.
you can contact her at: alison.solomon@gmail.com
if i think that you might be of help with this, i might give alison your contact info as i am not going to be much help in the hospital and sick.
please write me if you have any questions.
love
