My 80+ year old grandma is on a ventillator in the Grand Rapids/Cadillac Michigan area. They're trying to find her antibodies to start treatment but none of the hospitals they've called have antibodies that come from rare RH- plasma. If anyone with RH- plasma has donated their antibodies recently or will be to any hospital in Michigan, specifically Northern Michigan, I'd appreciate letting me know so that we can try to start antibody treatment on my grandma since she has not been doing very well and we're afraid she will continue declining without antibody treatment.
Thank you in advance!!
Most people know that blood type O- is the "universal donor", i.e. the universal BLOOD donor. However, in terms of PLASMA, blood type AB+ is actually the UNIVERSAL PLASMA DONOR! Less than 4% of our population is AB+; so if you have this blood type and have recovered from coronavirus, please consider a convalescent plasma donation; you can donate plasma more often than blood!
