Collection Day #1
It’s finally here! Collection Day! The technology is so fascinating. Check out the pictures below.
Life is in the Blood
Look at all those beautiful cells 😍 The machine takes his blood out from one pigtail hanging from his port, spins it around in a centrifuge, separates off the plasma into one bag, then puts the stem cells and their friends in another. Of course, it’s far more detailed and complex than that, but that’s my bottom-shelf understanding and explanation.
The Bible carries a theme of life being contained in the blood of living things. We are praying that these cells contain the life-giving healing Mike’s body needs. Christ brought us life through the shedding of his blood. May this blood collection and the gift of medical technology be the way Christ brings physical healing to Mike. Please pray with us over these bags of life.
