Cord Blood

First let me say, I am not a political person or one to try and argue a point. However, I do want to spread the word about this program to anyone that may be expecting, my sister passed it along to me. It is a show coming up next week on saving a baby's cord blood. Many doctors will tell you not to do it because the odds are so small you will ever need it, however, TRUST ME, when you are in the position where you could possibly use it you would give ANYTHING to have it. We have already signed up to bank our new arrival's cord blood, and when I spoke with the rep at CBR he told me in 2000 when Luke was born, there were only 8 known conditions for which the cord blood could be used, however today there are over 80!!! So in eight years time, a ten fold increase in the possibilities of healing....imagine the possibilities the future holds. So, please spread the word to anyone you know who may be expecting or anticipates having kids someday. I promise, if they are ever in our shoes, they will be forever thankful!

This coming Monday, October 27th, The Doctors, the new medical talk show created by the producers of Dr. Phil, will feature two CBR families-the Hextells and the Barbers- whose lives have been significantly changed by the decision to bank their baby's cord blood stem cells.
During the interview, the parents of Dallas Hextell and Hannah Barber , who were both diagnosed with a form of brain injury share their perspectives on the importance of cord blood banking education. The show's celebrity host, Dr. Travis Stork, as well as resident Ob/Gyn expert Dr. Lisa Masterson, lead the discussion about how a child's own cord blood stem cells are being used in regenerative therapies designed to help heal injuries to the brain. As you know from many of our CBR Moms conference calls, there are many new developments for the use of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine. This show will be a great educational tool not only for you, but for all of those who are looking to learn more about cord blood banking!

Luke continues to do good....thanks so much for continuing to pray for his continued healing and recovery. Believe!!
