Cord Blood Banking

Mommy & Daddy have made the decision to bank my cord blood. In the unfortunate event that I develop a life-threatening disease, hopefully my own stem cells can be used to treat my illness. Sounds complicated to me, but I'm glad they are doing it. They have chosen to use CBR (Cord Blood Registry) because of that company's experience and success with actual samples. If anybody is interested, here is their website: http://cordblood.com/ If you are interested in banking your own bambino's cord blood, use Mommy as a referreal and it will save you each $150...so let her know! That's money that can go to my college fund!!! Also, here is a link to video that prompted Daddy to investigate cord blood banking further. He saw this story on the Today Show one morning before work. Dallas Hextell "was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, but is now showing fewer signs of the disorder and marked improvement after an infusion of his own stem cells" — made possible by the preservation of his own cord blood with Cord Blood Registry. http://cordblood.com/popups/hextell_today_show.htm
