This is pretty amazing. I had never heard of James Harrison but he very well may have saved my four children. My wife is Rh negative and was given the antiD after the birth of our first son in 1979, all our children are Rh positive.
ReplyDeleteOur first child miscarried and my wife should have received the antiD then but it was somehow overlooked. We only found out after the birth of our son that that baby must have been Rh negative or our son would have been in big trouble.
Thank you Mr Harrison for donating blood every 3 weeks for 57 years, you were a real hero.
That's great Mick.
DeleteAOTY for fifty seven years in a row.
ReplyDeleteAnd a very special thankyou to Paco from Mrs Mick.
ReplyDeleteWe had no idea the antibodies came from this wonderful man. We were just told it was an injection that would solve the problem.
We did some looking on the interweb after your post and he definitely had a big impact on our family.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to help so many people like that? One of Mrs. Paco's sisters had the same issue, and it's likely she benefited from this gentleman's donations, too.
