Here is something to consider, Ryan (Chloe’s dad) was a coworker of mine a few years ago. I just read this article and thought I would share it. I considered saving the cord blood but the cost was high we decided not to. So please share your thoughts and stories about cord banking with me.

Here is a link to an article that just came out in the Daily Times Newspaper in the
In a city whose population equals the number of cord blood units stored at CBR, statistics calculated from Center of Disease Control (CDC) data would predict that every 1 in 50 children by age 6 will develop or experience a condition that has no cure today and is currently being researched for treatment with newborn stem cells. This includes traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, type 1 diabetes, heart disorders and hearing loss.

You can check out a great video at www.cordblood.com We have been working closely with Cbr to get the word out on cord blood banking.

Vandee, thanks for the information. We've decided to bank our baby's cord blood thanks to the little push from your blog. (As long as he isn't born right away and we have time for the kit to arrive.) After doing a little research I've realized it's a pretty amazing thing... Thanks.
Glad I could help. I think it is amazing...
I really wanted to with Jaydee but the price tag just kept me from it. But I thought at least I could do was share the information.
