Reunite for Life May 4 On May 4, 2017, Mississippi Blood Services celebrated their annual Reunite for Life event. This gathering of blood donors and patients celebrates life and embodies the importance of being a blood donor. During the event patients were able to meet some of the donors whose blood helped save their lives. This year’s honorees were four very special patients whose lifesaving treatments depended on volunteer blood donations. Chandler Norman was in an ATV accident in January 2016. Chandler sustained multiple injuries including a shattered left leg, torn femoral artery, fractured skull, broken jaw, and a lacerated liver and spleen. Chandler received more than 40 units of blood throughout his treatments, which included eleven different surgeries. Chandler ultimately lost his left leg above the knee, but thanks to volunteer blood donors, Chandler is wrapping up his junior year of high school and is back to doing the things he did before his accident. Josh Sexton was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the right humerus in January 2016. Due to the nature of his cancer, Josh underwent the amputation of his right arm, collar bone, and shoulder blade. Throughout his treatments, Josh needed several units of both whole blood and platelets. Now a healthy and active 9-year old, Josh want’s others to know just how important donating blood is. Blake Sebren was in a serious vehicle accident with his sister and girlfriend in March 2016. During the accident, Blake sustained several life threatening injuries including a crushed pelvis, and bruised kidneys and lungs. Blake lost his right kidney due to the damage from the impact. During his treatments, Blake used more than 75 units of platelets and whole blood. Although he still has more surgeries ahead of him, Blake is here today thanks to the kindness of those who selflessly donated blood. Nicole Jones is no stranger to the need for blood. In 2014 Nicole was diagnosed with TTP, a rare blood disease, and required hundreds of units of platelets to survive. In January of 2016 the unthinkable happened, and Nicole once again was diagnosed with TTP. Nicole needed AB platelets–nearly 200 units. MBS put out the call for help, and it was answered! MBS was able to get Nicole the lifesaving units she needed. 40 • June 2017
