Banking Cord Blood
When my sister had my nephew, part of our gift to her was getting her started with a cord blood banking system at Cryo-Cell. Initially, we chose Cyro-Cell because they are located here in our county, over in Oldsmar, FL. After the fact, we found out about their international reputation.
My point is that if you are looking for a unique gift to give someone who is expecting, a child, a gift certificate for cord blood banking is a matchless option. And, unlike a layette or a set of crib bedding, a child is not going to grow out of your gift right away.
When you bank the cord blood after the birth of a child, you are saving the stem cells that can be used to treat diseases like leukemia, anemia, lymphoma, diabetes and cerebral palsy. The cells are a perfect match, naturally, and give an extra assurance that help will be readily available in a medical emergency. There is even a very good chance that a child’s cord blood will be a good match for a sibling as well.
The collection process is simple and painless. In fact, most hospitals will be more familiar with the process of using Cryo-Cell than you are. I do urge you to take a few minutes and look at the current offers on the Cryo-Cell website, as well as some of their educational material. You can also call them and speak with an expert who can walk you through all of your questions.
Due to the circumstances at the hospital when I had my daughter, we ended up donating our cord blood. We had signed up with Cryo-Cell, though, and would have used them had my circumstances been what they were.
